Design Notes
Features include the capacity for 8 middle passengers, an exercise room, a lounge with attached galley and a large stateroom for the owner/skipper. A workstation is provided in the lounge area for the medic/steward. She is equipped with fuel scoops and a fuel purification plant for gas giant refueling.

The Frigidarius 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 Frigidarius has three large 20 ton cargo holds and a small 12 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 Frigidarius the ability to use some of her cargo space for extra fuel to increase the jump range in less heavily traveled areas of space.

For a savings of 399 KCr, the multipurpose turret can be left out of the design. Changes to the ships statistics when a turret is removed are shown in blue.

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