The arbitrary restriction of passenger cabins to class 6 and lower limits our ability to use freighters as large scale, budget people movers. I understand the wish to have the Beluga/Orca/Dolphin as quintessential passenger ships, but they already have the advantage of fitting a cabin type nobody else can use. In a universe where people are willing to basically travel as cargo in Economy pods, why wouldn't any self respecting freighter captain stack them to the ceiling?
Class 7 and 8 passenger cabins

I didn't even know class 6 was the limit.
I think that is indeed weird and there is no logic to it at all except for it being an artificial mechanism to favour the 3 passenger ships.
If you look at the general goto passenger ships, the Anaconda & Cutter come out tops.
As Iskariot has mentioned, the class 6 restriction is due to the largest passenger liner (Beluga) Having a class 6 slot. I install 1 or 2 pax cabins on a few freighters, especially the ones I have in the Pleiades, my T-10 has 1 class 8, my Cutter has two class 8 slots, if I could put Class 8 Economy cabins they would massively outdo the Beluga in the Economy class business.
The Beluga already struggles, if anything it should get it's own restricted class 8 Pax cabins. The ship is a giant liner yet carries around the same amount of pax as a single aisle airliner. Just be thankful we can cram in a few cabins on our freighters.

Surely, if you'd dealt with these "people" for any considerable length of time in the past, you'd have long ago realized that they are nothing but narcissistic, self-entitled, impatient, and sometimes plain ole sociopathic morons with nothing but a couple neurons bumpin' around upstairs and delusions of grandeur. 32 of them in a single section... sure. My automated "health and safety" kiosks can cope with that. But 64? 128?! When the revolution occurs -- and believe me, it will -- I don't look forward to playing the part of Ms. Antoinette.
(That said, I'd like the bigger cabins as well.)

I'd be OK with this as long as they added a class 7 and 8 slot to the Beluga. The Beluga (largest ship currently in the game) has an equivalent internal capacity to a T9 at the moment and that should not be the case. If a class 8 is added it should be restricted, but the class 7 should not.
