That was interesting, and a surprising result. Thanks for sharing.<p>There is a bit of magic: the Epstein Drive, allowing for 1G continuous acceleration &#x27;torch ships&#x27;. IIRC if they&#x27;re gone I don&#x27;t think it breaks the plot much, but without them it&#x27;s hard to imagine that there&#x27;d be quite such a thriving solar system society; it&#x27;d be much less interconnected and a much smaller economy without the ability to support large-scale stations by shipping large volumes of necessary supplies (e.g. ice) around easily.
