Spaceships Orion oddity
I found that the overall amount of fissionable material may remain nearly constant across ship sizes of 2k to 8 mil tons.
Mundane explosives allow improvement of the efficiency yield for propulsion purposes. That means the price of refueling per ton should go down as ships get bigger. Sometimes bigger really is better. I find it funny that it's true for nuke powered spaceships.
