Intention-wise, how quick do we think the process of hooking up is? You get on site and you've got a ship. Are we thinking you just hit a button and you can go, or will there be a delay to lock on, make sure it attaches and equalize mass?

It's not going to be an instant thing. I keep referring back to Prospector because it's very similar in terms of how you'll be interacting with things, in that you'll be able to rock up, you flick to tractor beam mode and you fire out your tractor beam, and that part of it will be instant. There's going to be a period where it has to settle, and you might have to do some configuration to balance everything properly before you can start doing everything. So for a very simple use case of I'm flying up to something, picking it up and going, it's not instant, but it will be quick. For the scenarios of I've been called to this abandoned ship that's upside down in a canyon, I'd be flying over, getting there, working out the best way to do it, then doing that in stages.
