Re: A problem to solve

Well you could attempt to get the drive online but since your PC's
characters would not have the knowledge to do this I would say find one of
the big blue guys and purchase a strong enough helm to move the ship. I am
sure the helms they currently sell to the SJ races are old throw off helms
and that they have helms that can power ships much larger than a mere 100
tons. I see the Arcane has having huge fleets and the current SJ races are
nothing but primitive backwater spacefarers.

Yes, I fully realize that no standard helm could move the thing.  But
knowing
my players, they ARE going to try to move it.  My question to the list was
not to elicit comment after comment on "a helm can't do it".  This was
blatantly obvious from the beginning.  If you were going to attempt to get
it
off the ground, how would you go about doing it?
