How hard can it be to take the weakest ship in the game through one of the most pirate infested systems in the game.
This is a response to the armchair economist who complained about the new tax levels on Planetary customs offices with this 'gem' "To suggest that this will negatively impact the economy of eve would be like suggesting that flying a noob ship into a pirate choke point solo is a bad idea or that CCP has no real clue about how the game works outside nullsec." https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=450239#post450239

Episode 2 covered the 3rd round, just to be confusing. Contestants had to deliver a plane built around a single 'Goliath' engine, the Kerbal version of your typical high bypass turbofan engine. And without any other major restrictions we got a lot of fun entries which proceeded to fight it out for hours to find the winner.

New Mods added:

TAC Life Support (modified to make it work with the tech tree)
