Before anyone says something, this is by NO means a criticism of the DSSA project!! I am excited about the arrival of FC although I won't be getting one any time soon. Also excited about the DSSA undertaking to place FCs around the galaxy. I have nothing but respect for everyone connected to DSSA and all the planning, commitment going into it.
---------------------------------
With the availability of FCs around the galaxy, how will it affect challenging extended deep space journey?
Currently, going out in the void for long time means better be careful with that PowerPlant because no way to fix till back in civilization. With DSSA we can just find the nearest FC for pit stop to fix up things.
I know one does not need to use the service and pretend it did not happen. But I for one will stop even just to say thank you for the project of this magnitude. To let the station attendants know their effort had been worthwhile.
I read about heroic stories of commanders going in the black months or years at a time during non engineering era. They did not have the FSD booster to zip around the distances. We adapted. Probably the DSSA FCs will be something similar effect on the explorer, and we will just adapt?
Any thoughts?
