Lots of nice information in here, one thing I'm really not sure of the function of is the dropships?!?
They are expensive on the cargo and can't be dropped, so I'm guessing there's going to be a hell of a cost associated with landing an actual starship to make these worthwhile.
Yeah I think thats right, maybe damage to the ship, maybe attracting unwanted attention at a vulnerable time, maybe it just can’t take off again? Not meant for taking off from a planetary surface with gravity and all that?
I can't see why else there'd be a 'drop ship' and I've heard fuel mentioned as something that'll need calculating!
That will definitely be something to watch.
