"There are so many things waiting to be done!"
After the big plant harvest, with the addition of so many supplies, the Hope was over the suggested warp weight limit. In fact, if the Hope were to attempt a warp right now, the fate awaiting it would be instant explosion.
However, these additional supplies were necessary for survival of the Hope. They would allow the Hope 30 more years of survival in space without the need of another restock. That number was not one to be scoffed at; that was already half of a lifetime.
Therefore, the upgrade on the Hope must be completed to accommodate these extra loads. With an update on the ship’s energy circuit, not only could they support these loads, they could also space warp without fear of its dangerous side-effects anymore.
