Notes:

There are several similar Classes:

Bastion Class Liner: adds Gig in External Cradle above Engine Room, considered Unstreamlined, gains 20 tons cargo space

Admiral Bertil Class Armed Liner: Desribed in MT Module Assignment Vigilante

Stellar Class Subsidized Liner: Described in GT Far Trader

Magic Bus Tour Ship: Custom builds for touring bands and theater productions, adds stage and seating, recording studio, Equipment storage, at least one ship

in this class was built with extra hydrophonic tanks for growing "Party Favors"

There is also a book from Loren Wiseman "Traveller Liners" that discusses a couple of the variants, with deckplans.

theres also an intel gathering ship using the same hull, but heavily modified I wrote up for an early PYamid online article

 

Overall, this is one of my favorite classes, to modify etc. plenty of cargo room for assorted surprises,

 

suggested modifications

Collapsible Fuel Tankage: costs 60 tons of cargo per J1 added, takes half ton stowed, useful for rift crossings or a jump in and out, takes 6 hours to pump fuel

to standard tankage.

Popup Turrets: depending on where your at/going, not all ships mount all 6 turrets, hideway turrets take double the number of spaces internally, and take a full turn

to raise/retract.

Upgraded sensors and electronics: not a lot can be done here, although adding a basic ECM kit and or chaff and flare pods along with decoys is doable

also a probe/drone launcher.

Weapons upgrades: not a lot of extra power, so probably best to keep with basic missle/laser/sand

That's the book I've got, so I'll be deriving my version of the liner from those plans.
