Sending a mission out into the Wilds...
How far could a well-stocked 5k-ton vessel go without starport support? How far could a solar-powered ship go without starport support? Couldn't such a ship successfully travel across the map and back in less than 10 years' time? What would its probability of success be (at the beginning of the collapse)? (Toward the beginning of the New Era)? And what of the MegaCorporations? Wouldn't they want to reclaim their companies' assets? Just wonderin'.
