75 tons was ridiculous and honestly we never should have released such a bulky monstrosity in the first place. The new Deliverator Slim is now a mere 73 tons!
Turns out the amount of water produced from melting ice is 20, and the amount of water needed for fuel and oxidizer is 10 each. So instead of cycling between fuel and oxidizer with a water override, we can just cycle to run one of each recipe. No storage tanks necessary!
R&D was also informed about a width issue with previous designs. With the removal of the water storage tank we were able to dramatically improve aerodynamics. For very brief periods of time while flying towards a planet, this sucker can hit 50km/s!
All our internal R&D docs refer to it as aerodynamics. I will have to issue an internal review to determine if they're aware we're building a space ship not a plane, it could explain the pushback we got when requesting the removal of wings in an early design
I'm willing to settle for hydrodynamic because as a former Eve Player I know that space is actually a liquid under the hood.
