You're asking us to determine the most efficient method of performing a fictional action using fictional ships based on a fictional engine over the course of a galactic rotation (230 million years). The entire concept is so far within the depths of Clarkean Magic that the question of efficiency is 100% irrelevant. Perhaps I should have voted to close as primarily opinion-based. Meh. | |

The roads are created on lake ice every winter and start melting near the end of the cold season leading to some highly dramatised closecalls with drivers pushing the limits on weak ice and chancing just one more heavy load. Should give you some story fodder at least :) | |

Edited warplanes to warp-lanes

| Jan 29, 2019 at 22:22 | comment | added | AlexP | You may want to standardize on a spelling; currently the question uses both warp-lane and warplane. Please note that a "warplane" is usually understood to mean a combat aircraft. When you ask for "the most efficient way" to do something you must define the metric: what does the "most efficient" mean? | |
