"There're two ways to go fast. You can spend months lightening each component, trimming the ship down to the bare minimum and installing a high-efficiency drive computer that does that ion-efflux field capture thing and building a razor that slices through the sky. Or you can stick a honking great reactor onto an even bigger thruster assembly and batter space out of the way with brute force."
"And then the whole drive explodes out the tailpipe after an AU, Mackie"
It's like using nitrous oxide on a car. Go fast, or go boom.
