Still, a crate of whiskey is the size of a human? If you found another RP explanation other than that please do share, or like you like to say... post a proof of that please.

By my assessment (relative to Trent (probably about 1.8m tall, or 2, to round it up)), those units are about 2.5 meters long and 1 meter tall/wide. I doubt one could put a human being and all the life support inside that, even in Kusari. I doubt one could put 20 of those inside a Starflier. They would have more volume than a 3×3×5m cuboid, which is about as large as the Starflier itself (which has a cockpit, an engine, a fuel tank, a reactor, life support, air conditioning, an ash tray or two, etc). Now imagine 30 of those inside a Dromedary.
But, I suppose people can shrink things in Freelancer. They can tractor them in trough ship walls, at 1500m/s without inertia, and somehow even neatly pack them side by side.
Blame Daam K'Vosh, I suppose.
A good point, life support. You read to info cards of the Arrow and so and you get to wounder how can it sustain 25 human beings if it barely does sustain one. No how can it fit more than one if it has only its cockpit. How can a 5ker that is 3 times smaller than a light battleship sustain 5000 human beings?
