While egocasting is by far the most common form of inter-habitat transport, some people prefer to travel by ship and others do not wish to leave their current morph behind. In addition, some goods are easier or cheaper to physically transport rather than duplicating their templates. As a result, standard transports regularly travel to and from every large habitat and inhabited planet and moon in the solar system. These are modern fusion-drive ships that offer fast and comfortable travel for passengers as well as relatively swift transport for small cargoes. One of the additional benefits of the standard transport is the fact that it contains four separate passenger compartments, each of which is mounted on a 90 meter-long booms that can extend and rotate to simulate gravity. When rotating at a comfortable 2 rpm, passengers experience Mars level gravity. Typically, the gravity maintained in these pods starts at the local gravity (or Mars gravity, if the local gravity is higher) and over the course of the journey gradually increases or decreases to the gravity of the destination. However, these pods cannot rotate to produce gravity higher than that found on Mars.

Notes
The Standard Transport uses Spin Gravity (p. SS30) and is TL11 for Complexity purposes (p. SS8-6)
Each tank of hydrogen propellant costs $1M to refill.
The default configuration for the Standard Transport offered here is wholly dedicated to cargo transport by a synthmorph crew. Any number of the 9 Cargo Holds can be exchanged for 60 cabins at a cost of +10M and 1 extra Workspace each. The configuration suggested in Snead's notes seems to comprise two Cargo Holds, 200 Luxury Cabins, and 60 cabins worth of specialized rooms (p. SS18), increasing the cost by 50M.
The Standard Transport can have the Total Automation feature for +15M plus 5M per 60 habitats to cost.
The Standard Transport can have the Self-Healing (p. SS7-22) feature for +200M to cost.
