Generally any spacecraft where each subsystem is controlled by person assigned to the task rather than single person handling most if not all systems. Most notably spacecraft that can't be piloted well by single person, even if it is possible with some difficulty.

Comparable to tankers, carriers, warships and such though can be much larger. Think of Star Destroyers in Star Wars.
