2nd most common small Trader

[Proneutron]

Based on data and conclusions drawn from this thread regarding what a freighter would look like shaped by the trading RAW. I came up with a common small freighter for MTU. It can either carry a crew of one and a couple or one in Mid Passage or have three crew. Some owners later add luxuries both for their comfort and to be able to carry a High Passage. With the reduced built in fuel tankage the ship can only do a Jump 1. However using the collapsible fuel tank it can make up to 2 additional 1 parsec jumps without refueling. This maximizes freight/trade opportunities. The inclusion of an ELB adds a safety factor if a person falls seriously ill or injured during a trip. This ship is de facto subsidized by the gov't in order to increase trade and commerce.

I put it together in a few minutes so let please me know if you see any errors I missed so I can post corrections. I used the SRD & Cepheus for this.

It works. Basically, it's a Type J Seeker (mining ship) but for cargo, with three staterooms traded for 12Td additional cargo hold and using a LBB5 power plant fuel allocation.

The fuel allocation could be a sticking point for some referees. To be fully LBB2 compliant, it needs 20Td fuel built in (J1, 4 weeks Pn-1 fuel). Personally, I'd let it get by with 15Td built in (J1, 2 weeks Pn-1 fuel), but I'm flexible like that.
