If the ships travelled in groups of 3+ then in the event of a failure the other two ships could tow the failed ship? Is this feasible? I honestly have no idea.
- gk1 13y agoNot with current ship designs. It takes an enormous amount of power to tow a loaded cargo ship. They're built with some power redundancy, but not enough extra to tow another loaded ship.
- LeChuck 13y agoAdding to gk1's comment. Adding the power redundancy needed to tow another ship would obliterate all the fuel savings these ships (potentially) can achieve.
