What do you actually do with the smaller ships in the game, like Shuttles and Runabouts? Are they just seperate ships to choose from or do they actually work seperate from your main ship, like functional versions of the 'Companion shuttles'?

You actually need a small craft for the mission "the vault". You do get a type 8 for that, but it's not as good as a runabout, the Delta-Flyer or the Captain's Yacht and all that others you can pay for.
Other than that, in pre-f2p STO you could do daily shuttlecraft-missions to get the schematics for the Delta-Flyer to craft it. In my Type 8 these missions were a pain in the a**, because these missions require you to scan things with your shuttle to collect some specific data-packs and before I decided to only scan anomalies in clusters, I often got into missions with battles which I never survived in that thing.
That's how I got my DF, it's one of the last ones if not the last one made on Memory Alpha (because you could do these mission only once all 20 hours I got finished just hours before the big update that changed all those freebees into paystuff) lol

I forgot to mention you always can switch between your current ship and any small craft you have by going to your ship-interior and talking to someone in your transporter-room.

I had like 150k energy credits so i bought a runabout also one note is that all of the weapons and shelds and deflectors level with you so you dont have to spend more money on it after your initial investment

If you want to make a shuttle more effective you still need to get some good consoles, and these are level-dependant for you. So you have to get upgraded consoles when you got promoted.
