    😂 I think that’s a cool idea; but I reckon the running cost in fuel alone, without maintenance, would make this implausible.

        You could easily make enough money to do it. So long as the things you’re trading aren’t legal! Haha

      There’s a Mr. Fusion on board to power the retrofitted pulse engines. Which is a good thing, since all the nanobots that nonstop repair the airframe take about half the energy produced (the engines taking the other half, of course).

      Just remember to chuck a couple Cyberdyne Model-101 skeletons in the fuel chamber and you’re good for another year or so.

      That’s the part of tale spin that breaks the immersion for me, the fuel costs!
