That's the joke... 9x(1/2)= 4.5. ;)

219) The way to salvage an enemy spaceship is not "steal everything that isn't nailed down or on fire, and come back with a crowbar and fire extinguisher for the rest"

I would assume it's just steal the whole ship

I was assuming that the ship wasn't in sufficiently good condition to accept a prize crew, and that towing was impractical. If at least one of those isn't the case, then yeah.

The ship was missing an engine and couldn't hold atmo, neither pilot had a space suit, and towing isn't so great for reentry.

219a) When dissembling a ship to fit it in the cargo bay of another ship, I must remember to label the screws.

If it can't hold atmosphere, then how is ANYTHING on fire ? Fire REQUIRES oxygen ... which is part of an atmosphere ...

Unless "atmo" is an abbreviation for something else ...

If there's any oxidisers around, you can perfectly well have a fire in almost any circumstance. If there's any chemical rockets around, there are oxidisers.
