While I'm still puttering around looking for my VEx2, here's an update using GVB's argon cold-gas thrusters, plus the other suggested changes. TL8 Space Cargo Container In this setting, computer terminals are mostly treated as being ubiquitous, near-free, and near-weightless. Maintenance is mostly performed by cyberswarms; this build should include a cyberswarm hive from G:Robots.
