This is what I was thinking. That sky crane has to be as barebones as can possibly be made. Every single bit of mass on it is something that could be better use

This is what I was thinking. That sky crane has to be as barebones as can possibly be made. Every single bit of mass on it is something that could be better used elseware.
Tradeoff of course is if you skimp on the mass too much you'll get an unreliable sky crane and the whole thing is a dud.
