Bloody MOX, ay?

Now, the Longhorn runs on good ol' reliable H-fuel, powering the XV-690 engine. Clean burn, minimal waste, no contamination, works wonders in the conversion to plasma for the fusion core. Pretty standard for most Libertonian vessels. We can't simply just throw MOX in instead- its a whole different kind of fuel source- fission. I can't speak much on its capabilities, but I would guess the Longhorn is big enough to make the conversion worth it.

Best plan I got so far is to strip out the whole XV-690 setup, and throw in a VP-series replacement. Ya'll always tout on about how versatile they are, so we should be able to get a configuration worked out that'll fit in there, and meet whatever specs you need- Long-range exploration sounded like what you're after. Probably want good fuel capacity, and an efficient burn rate then, without losing too much speed or handling.

If you can bring over some propulsion systems to Susquehana, we can get to work on fitting everything together. About 300 units total should be enough for all 3 ships you have ordered.
