Short-Jump Exploration Ship -- Intrepid

We all get that itch from time to time. There's a big, black, mostly empty universe out there, with derelicts and active pirates as far as the sensor can see. With only a modest supply of ores, you and your crew can construct an Intrepid of your very own. It's equipped for short jumps between planets or asteroids.
--Refueling port along the keel, for easy access from the ground. You can also use it in space, just as easily!
--Fifteen batteries with fuel for days. NOTE: There is no onboard reactor or solar panels, so you may have to depend on recharging posts in orbit. However, the ship is all-hydrogen, so this might not become an issue.
--Two sets of hydrogen engines; one heavy set to escape the planet, the other for easy sailing in space.
--Twelve hydrogen tanks.
--Five O2 tanks, with pressurized bridge and cabin.
--Seats eight engineers: Pilot, Co-Pilot, two gunners, and four other crewmembers.
--One large cargo module for whatever deep space ores you gather.
--Single jump drive to shorten your travel time.
--Six O2 processors for mid-flight refueling.
--Short landing pad with room for two small ships.
