>>6134482Crewed mining ships, supported by scouts and escorts.
Clean, bright, spacious ships, with ample amenities on board. Why, we could even put schools and hospitals in them, and begin educating 400,000 people per month, 4.8m per year, assuming each berth produced 100,000 crew spaces aboard our ships and we could continue producing 4 per month. Within 10 years there'd be 50 million Ithican standard people in our fleet. Not much compared to the 1.3 billion on Deimea, but a large population to draw upon for our initiatives, while at the same time growing our production capacity and resource gathering scope. Ah, I can see it now! Progress!
