The real power behind countless overlords

We need to extend our range. We don't seem to be running out of cargo space yet, but we burn through fuel fast. Buy Fuel Tanks and go visit the Pkunk. Our human cruiser kicked the Ilwrathi asses pretty easily so this seems safe and its close. I think we might want a larger fleet before visiting the Spathi so they'll be more terrified of us and more likely to join peacefully.

Do Antimatter Thrusters increase range? I could see them increasing max speed and thus range if fuel use is a function of time. I could also see them being coded so that more thrusters are less efficient and so it actually takes more fuel to get places even if we get there faster.

We've met the Spathi, lets meet someone new the Pkunk!

My suggestion is:

Max. Antimatter Thrusters (7x500 = 3500RU)
Max. Turning Jets (4x500 = 2000RU)
Fuel Tank + additional fuel (1700RU)
Cargo Bay (750RU)
Crew Pod + additional crew (2150RU)
Total: 10100RU

my dad posted:

Probably too late too change the goon concensus, but I vote:

1 crew quarters + crew
1 fuel tank + fuel
1 lander
1 cargo bay

Should be just under 5000 spacebux.

That shopping list and visit the Pkunk
