General Stasis Boxes

[gchuck]

Kind of a 'budget' low berth for shipping meat or fresh veggies/fruit back and forth across the 'verse'. Buying or renting big and expensive coolers/freezers, seemed kinda cost/space prohibitive.
Cr50-100 per kg/volume; 50kg =1250Cr, and so on.
Mine is not a 'trading' campaign, so I'm kinda curious how you good people handle perishable cargos?

Comments, concerns, catcalls?

Refer boxes, live fruiting plants.
No stasis in the editions I run.

Stasis to me is Ancients level tech. Reality manipulation or slightly below with cold tech that stops atomic movement wit some incredible thaw tech.

More likely cold berth tech applied to things already dead, the high tech version of Aramis’ reefer.

I assume most ship cargo bays have environment controls, so they can be chilled to prolong the life of perishables, or warmed when transporting live cargo. I also assume most cargos come prepacked in cargo containers, as this aids in loading/unloading - (imagine trying to unload 2800 cubic metres of potatoes out of a Fat Trader by hand ). Many of these cargo containers could be sealed and even pressurised (some low grade starports are open to vacuum, have high/low pressure or toxic atmospheres) and capable of maintaining the goods inside, no matter the exterior conditions.
