The shipyard owner took you a little further into the hangar, towards a dark grey ship quite a bit Larger than the Vixen. The Queen Elisabeth was a ship designed for hauling cargo. A decade ago the Queen brand was associated with a large network of mansmugglers, giving the brand a bad reputation. The scandal was complete when it was discovered the top of the company knew about the design and building of the hidden compartments meant for human trafficking. The top people were arrested, some investors took over, even changed the brand name, but they never stood a chance against the angry media and the company went out of business. 

The Queen Elisabeth, as well as the Queen Victoria and the Queen Mary were really fine ships though. The problem now was that with no mother company backing the brand and delivering spare parts anymore people had to either search the second-hand markets or find other creative solutions whenever something broke. While the ships were still good and spare parts still available through less-than-direct channels, the price for these ships had dropped 30%. 

The Elisabeth had 7 cabins, two of them double, so it could house 9 people. It also had three cargo sites which could be protected by force-fields allowing manipulated atmospheres if you were carrying important or sensitive goods. Next to that the main cargo bay could hold nearly three times what your previous ship could hold. For 5800 credits, this was definitely a step up.
