Is the Sloan an SDB?  if not, why are we paying for jump drives?  I
always remember paying through the nose for jump drives, and if we're
staying in-system, why would we want jump drives?  Hell we can save
$$$$ on the hull we don't need for the jump fuel alone.  With planets
that have populations in the tens of billions, navies just get BIG.
