This is a Solomani version of the Imperial Subsidized Merchant. It has Jump 2 capability and 1G acceleration. There is no High Passage available on this boat. Just middle and low. It can take 24 Middle and 20 Low passengers and has 147 tons of cargo space. Crew is 10 Captain, 2 Bridge, Engineer, 4 Gunners, a Steward and a Medic. The captain and 1st officer get their own staterooms but the other eight crew double bunk. This is a typical Solomani bare-bones transporter. Accommodations are cramped.
This ship was described in GURPS 101 Starships (by BITS).

Remote Mining Platform
A mining platform towed out and left at remote belt locations. Ten miners live here for extended periods, with bi-monthly re-supply of life support and needed supplies. Mined ore is stored in three large ore bays that can be detached towed back to refinery platforms by the resupply ship.
There are four small mining “bugs” that have a laser drill and manipulators to gather ore and return it to the main platform for storage.
The platform has station keeping thrusters only.
Hammer-class Light Merchant 100 Dtons
Four years ago I asked the designer of this ship if I could do a deck plan and he graciously said I could. I finally got around to doing it. Here is a link to the original post where you can find much Traveller goodness. https://travellerrpgblog.blogspot.com/2016/10/deck-plan-hammer-class-100-ton-merchant.html

On to my version. I dropped the bridge fresher for more storage space. Never can have enough storage space be it in a house or a 100dton light merchant.
Kettin-class 200ton Merchant
Hi there. This deck plan is for a 200ton merchant ship. It is inspired by the Kettin-class in the Space Opera book “Seldon’s Compendium of Spacecraft Vol 1”. For Traveller it is basically another Far Trader. Jump 2, 2 G thrust.
Reddit 100dton Scout Competition
Over at Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/traveller) there is currently a competition to design some alternative 100 Displacement Tons Scout ships. Reddit user MininalMask created this ship and I thought it looked cool and he agreed to me doing a deck plan. The race that built it are the Korr, a 2m tall bulky humanoid minor race. The ship has a crew capacity of eight, so is quite cramped. See his write up at Reddit. The basic stats for the ship, created with Mongoose Traveller’s ship design system are:
