The J4/2G version has 2 staterooms (not 4, on the original), and 6
dtons remaining, which could be another stateroom, and air/raft bay,
or whatever else.

The turret mechanism is a dton.  There is no way I'd send a 100 dton
ship out without a turret.

The original Book 2 scout had one empty double turret installed,
stock, along with 4 staterooms, an air/raft bay,  and 3 dtons of cargo
space left on the design.

I'm puttering in High Guard Shipyard.
