Report
Headingley, Leeds
Attendance: 15,834
gollark: Wait, how would you know about stupidly expensive FTL travel for thousands of years before you had even figured out what the speed of light was?
gollark: There may also be different stuff produced in each system, or at least some stuff produced more cheaply in some.
gollark: I don't think anyone knows the answer to that.
gollark: … that would do it, why did I never think of that... but you still need room for the ship component stuff.
gollark: Happily, you can construct more tanks on site from resources there, but I ran into issues of the docking port orientations getting messed up, and wobbliness.
