Subsidized Merchants are usually found operating a set route where part of the operating expenses are met by an outside party in return for some guarantee (usually a courier contract or a regular shipment/passenger contract of some kind).
Usually a part of the hold or one or more passenger cabins will be reserved for the use of the subsidizer, and the ship will be required to service a set and scheduled route.
A 10-ton lifeboat may be substituted for the launch if desired. Members of the crew will be cross-trained as small craft crew for operating the Launch or Lifeboat.
The 72-point Ship Patron cost on in T:FT, page: 100 assumes an unarmed ship carrying its launch, with -5 points for owner profit- taking/upkeep.
The original GT design is on p.T:146. Using streamlining as a modifier to surface area allows the cargo capacity of the Akkigish to be increased by 62 dTons.

Akkigish (J2)-class 400-ton Far Trader (TL10)
Subsidized Merchants are usually found operating a set route where part of the operating expenses are met by an outside party in return for some guarantee (usually a courier contract or a regular shipment/passenger contract of some kind).
Usually a part of the hold or one or more passenger cabins will be reserved for the use of the subsidizer, and the ship will be required to service a set and scheduled route.
A 10-ton lifeboat may be substituted for the launch if desired. Members of the crew will be cross-trained as small craft crew for operating the Launch or Lifeboat.
The original GT design is on p.T:146. This variant of the Akkigish class merchant has been converted into a Far Trader by reducing cargo capacity by 44 dTons and replacing it with 40 dTons of fuel and 4 dTons of jump drive to give the ship Jump-2.
Crew: 10 Total. Captain, Pilot, Astrogator, Sensor, Commo, Steward, Medic, 3 Engineers.
