Long Haul Freighter

If you want to go a long distance you'll need a lot of support.
Nowhere more that space is the voyagers adage more true, "If you don't take it, you won't find it there."
Everyone thinks of water, food, radiation protection and general medical supplies. The thing most people forget is that people are a resource, you need them to fix, maintain, and problem solve. They put out heat and can even generate electricity in the right settings, put them to work on those long-haul rigs!
