Now, if it only took them a week to build the Flyer, why not build like a bigger ship. Not necessarily a real big ship, but a small one like the Raven or even a Peregrine-class fighter. That would give the crew something to do and a new environment to work on. Right? What do you guys think?

Well, if it's only there to give the crew something to do, it would be a bad idea. They only have limited resources. Better not to waste them on busywork.

Plus, they are limited by the size of their shuttle bay, storage facilities, maintenance abilities, etc.
