What kinds of things are we thinking a single SRV can carry?
TL;DRAn SRV can tow physicalized, immobilized objects such as vehicles, ships and crates, roughly one Cutlass per SRV and at most about a Constellation, though harder in atmosphere, with chaining possible for bigger loads.
The basic restrictions at this stage that we're applying to things: it has to be something that's physicalized in the world. So you're not going to be able to get a thousand SRVs to ArcCorp and move a building off the planet. It's got to be physicalized, so that's vehicles, ground vehicles, spaceships, cargo crates, maybe players. And then it comes to the other restriction we're looking at here, in that it has to be willing to be moved. And by willing, I don't mean, "Are you fine to move me? Yes, then move me." It has to be immobilized in some fashion, whether that's intentionally immobilized or accidentally immobilized, like it's lost its thrusters, and the amount of movement it's doing is within a certain parameter. Again, tractor beams require lots of power. To stabilize something spinning through space like that, you're going to need lots of power to do that. So those sort of things can be very hard, whereas if that ship is gently tilting around or it's a cargo crate tilting around, that's a lot easier for it to do. In terms of vehicles, we've said Cutlass is, in our minds, one-to-one. The Cutlass is where it can confidently do that in space and in atmosphere with gravity. Obviously, there's a million variables there. If the Cutlass is laden with 40 or however many SCU of just the densest material known to mankind, that's going to be a harder job, because the mass will affect it. If we're on a planet or a moon that has 10 times gravity, that's going to affect it. But all things being equal, one SRV to one Cutlass. So it can pull something that's bigger than it, but not humongously bigger. It's got a medium power plant, I believe. It's got some medium items in there because, like I said, it's all about the power. It's got big engines, like a tugboat of the modern world. It's a chassis with big engines attached to it to deal with that. The upper end for one ship, I would say, would be a Constellation. But that's probably going to be a hard job to do in atmosphere. In space, easier, no gravity, no friction. But in atmosphere, it's going to be hard. And then obviously you can chain more ships together to do bigger things.
