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

      Well yeah, the fantasy part is that you’d make enough money to actually do it, heh.

      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.
