is finicky and requires grav tank engineers
to maintain.  All grav tank engineers are officers as it requires
a graduate degree to get into the profession.  Needless to

Why have a high maintenance grav tank when you can buy a blower
tank _and_ a STOL aircraft for the same price?	NB I'm not
talking points I'm talking $.
