Yes, this thing is crazy cool.

Reminds me of something out of an old Disney movie.

Just don't ever wipe out on this thing or it will look like an antique store blew up! :shock:

The communication between Scout ships and their Homeports was embedded into video images and sent to respective way stations located in each solar system. The codes for our particular ship were finally decoded from messages entitled "I love Lucy". The diagram shown here is a reproduction of what was apparently a detailed cue sheet for the last mission the ship was on when it was lost.
Once underway, these details would be projected onto the cylindrical section of the communications and guidance display for pilots to follow.

What happens when your bike hits 88mph?

A steampunk bike! Very cool! This one should get extra points for the imaginative back story as well.

Cargo areas needed to carry payloads sufficient to offset cost of missions as well as generate reasonable profits upon return to home port.

PS: HUGO. Great question.
From 75-80 mph the propulsion unit automatically jettisons all excess fuel byproducts from the final exit port of the fuel system.

LOL! That would seriously contaminate your life-support suit forcing the crew to plot a course to the nearest starport! Looking forward to pics of the whole ship.
