I'd be inclined to have one or more automated tugs, which would fly to a container, grapple it, apply thrust as needed, and then fly back to the garage. Let's have a chemical-rocket version for moving stuff around habitats, and maybe an ion-drive or VASIMR version for longer trips. That way you only pay for the number of propulsion systems you actually need to use simultaneously... (I have grave doubts about sticking an airlock on _every_ container. But that's the background...) R _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
