I personally thought Hard Times was one of the best setting books that GDW did but it was brutal. You could also be a hero.  It was a good setting for a Clint Eastwood style of hero.

Who knows - maybe you can all be heroes, too...

At least in a small way.

Is the missile vehicle armored with hatches and such or are their missiles hanging out in the open on launchers that we can sabotage?

The missiles are in tubular cells. It's a four-cell launch system, with only one cell still sealed. The vehicle itself appears to be armored, and all of the hatches are closed.

So no obvious easy wrenches in a vulnerable spot?  At least there is only one missile left!

Brent will continue working on his pilot skill.

Execute seems like a nice place.

According to the ship's library, the main industry is, or was, agriculture.

Very much a water world tho

Execute's surface is 40% covered in water, and is about halfway between Earth and Mars in size.

I must have missed the digits.  I thought hydro was a '9'

I double checked it - 40%.

You're right; I was hallucinating...

LOL

I thought we were headed to the main world.

That was my understanding, as well. The ship has crossed the safe jump limit, and can activate the drive.

Are we jumping to the main world or going normal space?  It might take a week to do so...

Your transit time to the main world in normal space is something like six months, so a jump would be in order. It takes about five hours to transfer fuel into the main tanks for a second jump without refueling, though. So, it'd be best to plan ahead.

We'll want to Jump at least half a day out from the main world to be well out of range of any near-orbit weaponry and let us refuel as we coast in.

Regarding fuel transfer, here's a thought:

The jump drive uses 75% of the fuel during translation into jump space, and then the rest to maintain the field during the jump. Given that the ship had multiple fuel tanks, it should be possible to transfer fuel from the aux tanks to the mains as they are depleted.

That'd give you nearly full main tanks on emergence. The jump drive would probably need a few minutes to recycle, but the fuel would be there.

I don't recall the many variants of how one refueled Jump tanks from auxiliary tanks during Jump itself.  It would make sense that the tanks are compartmentalized and one can fill them slowly in portions as the fuel is used up.  We'd do that if at all possible.  I think we'd still jump in well beyond the 100D limit just to stay clear of weapons and interception.  We'd also come in off the ecliptic.

How practical would it be to try to board the remaining structure?  I'm getting the vibe that it's very dicey.

It'd be like climbing into a commercial dryer lined with spear points, in micro-gravity, in vacuum. Maybe if you had battledress...

Yea... pointy things and vacc suits... not good!
