Right? Also that. So yeah, it's still a thought, but it'll be more directed I think.
I've done some research on what they've done, and there's both the general lack of reasonable options to lift off through the atmosphere, and then the speed and distance factor, which is an additional problem. I've played with scenarios some, but like it wasn't my emphasis at home. I could fix whatever was wrong with the Falcon - well, I could fix some of what was wrong with it, depending - although the Falcon is hardly a good barometer on that front cause it is its own crazy thing. But like - fixing it and building it are two different things particularly when you don't have the same sources. I've got some theories, but I don't know if they'd amount to anything. Sorry... I'm rambling.
Ultimately despite the fact that I'd really love to have an X-wing, SHIELD gives me the option to help people right now and that seemed more important.
