Is the Sparrow Trainer worth ₡4.1 million?

It's a fair question. ₡4.1 million is serious money, and before you commit to a Pilot training craft you want to know what you get for it.

You get a 11 m ship that first flew on June 2186, cruises at 95 km/s and reaches 3 AU on one load of Methalox (liquid methane / liquid oxygen). You also get Halcyon's full yard support network from Luna to the Olympus Ring.

For most customers, the economics come down to the 0 tonnes hold and the 22 tonnes per 100 AU burn rate. Together they decide your revenue per voyage and your cost per voyage.

Add a crew of 2, only 1 of them pilots, and most operators recover the commissioning fee well inside the hull's design life.
