The Lermontov has two decks. The top deck has the bridge, staterooms, lounge, gym, galley and small hold. The bridge and lounge are toward the bow. The owners stateroom and gym are next, followed by the passengers staterooms. Then the pilot's stateroom and the crew bunk room. And, finally, the small cargo hold. The turret access is by the crew's bunk room. The life boats are accessed on either side in the middle of the passenger stateroom area. The lower deck includes the three large holds and the air raft hanger. Engineering is in a large open area in the stern of the ship (no top deck) with access to the jump drives, thrusters, contra-grav lifters and power plant. Fuel is stored all about the ship inside the hull.

The Lermontov has three large 20 ton cargo holds and a small 10 ton cargo hold. The small hold is used for mail, passengers personal cargo and incidental cargo lots. The large holds are all able to be sealed and used to carry extra fuel. Pumps and pipes are included to move the fuel from the holds to the normal fuel tanks and from the fuel tanks to the holds. This gives the Lermontov the ability to use some of her cargo space for extra fuel to increase the jump range in less heavily traveled areas of space.

The multipurpose turret is optional. If the turret socket is left empty the following changes occur. The price of the ship drops by 395 KCr (to 36.308 MCr). The small hold is increased by 3 tons (from the unused missile magazine). The mass goes to 2433t/1324t. The performance becomes 1/1.8G and the loaded speed drops by 2 kph. Maintenance drops to 42 points. The general storage area drops to 0.38std. Finally, the gunner's bunk is empty. Of course, there are no weapons or sandcasters in this case.

Another option, if the turret is not purchased, is to use the turret socket as a life raft jettison tube. This allows conversion of the second jettison tube into 3 tons of cargo space with a savings of 10 KCr on the price, again this impacts the small cargo hold.
