"Science Ship" sure buddy, operating independently in remote locations with light to medium intensity combat situations is a mere science ship.

Are you kidding me? The Enterprise encounters god-like beings on a regular basis, and still manages to subsist after all those episodes, only having lost a very large bunch of its low-ranked crew members. The death star would easily be dealt with in a single episode (but if possible without killing all the people living on the death star, as that would be super cruel).

Larry Niven subtweeted this in some Known Space books. The protagonists' ship in Ringworld has a wide variety of tools and equipment that are not technically weapons. Including a mining laser that once punched a hole so deep into a moon that it developed a stable atmosphere. Accordingly, the main character christens it the Lying Bastard.

It spends the whole first novel upside-down in a ditch.
