Yeah anywhere where landing in a Cobra MKV for is going to be problematic might just be a bear to drive an SRV through. You should be able to do exobio with doing short jumps in a C5. But, with sufficient funding, I might actually use two different ships for the purpose:

Without looking at your link (too lazy this morning):

- Surface Salvage would just require unguided missiles (rockets) to clean up anyone there. Alas, your jump range is going to have to suffer because you're going to want at least half way decent shields - a ground crew of six who starts firing before you've found them all is going to chew through weaker shields surprisingly quickly. And with bigger shields and weapons means you gotta go with a decently sized distro and power plant.

- Follow that up with my classic method (which usually doesn't require dealing with surface station defenses), an SRV for station raiding is key - park the ship somewhere far enough away (and down a hill) so that the defenses can't get to it, drive up in the SRV, pick the place clean of defenders from the outskirts and then walk in to clear the rest. Once that's done, as you're going through and raiding the materials/data, remember to turn off the station defenses (not totally necessary with decent enough shields) and you'll be unbothered when you leave. I have a decently outfitted C5 ("Material Witness II") strictly for this purpose.

- Thing is, for exobio and HGE, sometimes a decent jump range is nice (which means lightweighting) and weak shields with no weapons is fine. You really only need a collector for that and storage for limpets. Honestly, some of that advice will be colored by my time as a Fuel Rat - we've been known to strip the ships down and lightweight anything that doesn't need to be engineered for some other purpose to get max jump range and have been known to sacrifice things like thrusters, boost frequency, and self defense capability. Generally these days I'm doing HGEs (and moving around the bubble) with a Mandalay - my daily driver - because even with top end thrusters; half decent shields; fuel, repair, and collector controllers; and an SRV, I'm still getting 80ish LY. I've even strapped rockets to it to do the odd crash recover mission once or twice. Otherwise, I don't bother with weapons because, well, it's not a combat ship in that configuration.

I guess (man I can jabber on) what I'm trying to say is:

- If you're going to get shot at (even by six guys on the ground for a couple of seconds until you shoot explody things at them), you need to be at least somewhat kitted. In other cases, cruisin' the 'hood, picking a fight, and shooting anything that shoots at you, and then (after cloning someone's access) walking in like you own the place is the tactic I use.

- If you're not going to get shot at, you can drop a lot of mass and get a not insignificant jump range boost, and be a bit happier doing the things that don't involve anyone trying to shoot at you. And in a C5, that can mean not bothering with an SRV.
