I see there are a number of differences, particularly on the crew size, fuel and cargo - gosh, a major rework of the plans would be needed !! :-(

How would it look if it matched the HG design's Manoeuvre 2 capability and had accommodation for the steward?
Good ideas. Maybe another 10 tons of space taken. I might as well add them in. And I can always beef up the sensor suite; I could probably squeeze another 5 tons in there. And a beefier computer might finally require a ton of space.
So I can get within 40 tons of the drawn cargo spaces I think... not bad considering the record of Traveller deckplans-to-printed-stats... assume the deck altitudes are a bit different and voila...

Fuel tankage supports a 3 parsec jump, at 70t per parsec, and one month of operations. Attached to the bridge is a Computer Model/3. There are 7 crew staterooms, 8 passenger staterooms, and no low berths. Cargo capacity is 247 tons. The ship has a lift body hull, with scoops, intakes, and bins for frontier refueling.
Carried craft include 2 enclosed Air/Rafts in hull niches. The ship has 7 crew, and can carry 8 passengers.
Actual volume: 697 tons
Crew comfort: +0
Passenger demand: +0
