Okay. I'll take your word for it. Yours and yours alone, maestro.
I still have a bad feeling about driving that slow, ungainly, slipping-sliding underpowered parade float of a vehicle from the warp gate to... well, to anywhere. It'll make the ANT runs of yesteryear look like happy fun time. The old ANT was demonstrably faster than a Sundie and the continents were smaller. It was also air-portable. I just can't see how this is going to work.
So I'll take it on faith. Multiple nanite-nodes scattered across the continent, perhaps...?
