I like, but freighters should be in there as well, since inrp they're usually used as fast ferries for articles of high value, and the one or two passengers/VIP's looking to cross a warzone quickly and unnoticed.
And of course the Firefly would have to be in there as well. But its true you wouldn't be ferrying passengers so much in gunboats or battleships (unless government/military perhaps).
As for slaves and prisoners, well, think of ancient slave ships...yes people were treated as cargo, many would die on the way, so maybe slaves should be perishable. Prisoners ought to have better accomodations than slaves, but could easily rp 'stasis pods' for them while transferring, which could make them cargo.
Making passengers and VIP's only accessable to these types of ships and buffing the value of the cargo would definitely help juice up the liner numbers. Right now I see liners shipping ore mostly. They'd probably be shipping VIP's if it was approximately equal in value, just maybe make the routes a bit longer.
