Saxum Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Interesting site; added some blocks to some of the things it was trying to do and a workaround for the scramble quote javascript. Rolls Royce argued that as no on-board staff are required, the drone ships will be able to accommodate more cargo in place of bridges and living quarters. This also means improved safety as the human risk factor will be eliminated. Yes including the human factor of on-board staff being drunk and causing accidents which has happened a number of times last few years.
