Hello Eric, let me recap the technology for the starships:
* You said late TL9. 3E Vehicles 2nd and Space 3rd have no stats for TL9 stardrives, but Space mentions how to make TL9 experimental stardrives -- simply add quirks. That means TL9 Experimental Jumpdrives are 8 lbs., $140, and require 3,600,000 kWs per ton of jump capacity. * Jump points are in the outer system, 50 AU from the sun and the inner planets. * Are VXii12 TL9 super reactionless thrusters and VXii26 super MHD reactors available? * What are the requirements for surface landing? I would call it a world up to 1.2 G, with standard air pressure for runways for horizontal landing. * Can civilian freighters use fusion rockets? The ship is 150,000 cf and 1,500 stons, with at least ten crew positions. The goal is to maximize cargo per year divided by system cost. My suspicion is that an unstreamlined starship with a small shuttle will win, but I will try a landing-capable starship.
