    Well, nice and pretty and all, but one problem with using it in SJ: the
concept is designed for fuel economy, which isn't a problem with SJ.  Helms
are, effectively, a limitless fuel source.  They travel through space at 100
mmpd, no matter where they are.  Gravity has no impact on that speed unless
you're in orbit around a planet.  In SJ, using no-gravity points buys you
nothing.  Might be an interesting place to put a space station, but that's
about the extent of their use.
