Low Berth - cyrosleep
Medium - a cubicle/little more than a coffin is size. Such as like a hotel
room in some parts of Japan, its little more than bed you slide into, a
cacoon sort of arrangement, but it keeps cost down. its when its $5000 a
square foot, the way to keep things down is to pack as many in as possible..
High - normal hotel room or effiency.
Upper - Staterooms/Suite
1st Class
2nd Class
3rd Class
4th Class and then cargo?
Titaic and how it was done, modified for modern/future age..
Used to ride the Alaska State Ferry up the inside passage, and you could get
a room, or just park yourself on the solarium (sort of on the fan tail).
Also might have a berthing class, namely you have your own ship or shuttle
but pay for them the freighter to carry your ship, tied/docked to it..
It would work well for people that have a non-warp or low warp/jump type of
ship, or for protection/cost.. Pay to have a freighter carry your ship into
hyperspace or space or warp or what ever and once to your destination or
limit of money you disconnect and go your own way. Piggy back..
It also works/help the ship have more cargo on runs where it has a limited
or non-cargo to carry and ....
Ask a long haul, especially an independent trucker the fun of "DEAD HEAD"
namely not having a cargo to pay for fuel to your next load.. ts fun when
you have a plane or like that comes in fully loaded but normally would leave
empty or nearly so, its why some plane fares may be lower to attract
cargo/passengers, or they go back for their next cargo run with no money to
pay for the trip back..

I wonder if there is a "fair" way to get passengers into the
efficiency figure. For the TL14 Megafreighter it won't really
matter, but the TL10 light transport and the scouts would get
a little boost.
Find the average amount of space a passenger requires (stateromm + life
support + whatever i don't think about at the moment). Assume that much
additional cargo for your calculations.
