[oth]Time for another remass. A pod has dispersed a cloud of iron dust in front of us and we'll be using magnetic scoops to gather it up.

[oth]The method is called "Spray and pray", heavy on the pray. The cloud is moving slower than us. The dust slows us down as we gather it. A two for one deal.

[oth]Some ships are so good at this that they can arrive at their destination at the proper speed with a full tank.

[[enw>Spray and pray]] - выражение, изначально относившееся к ведению неприцельного или низкоточного огня из автоматического оружия: //распыли// как можно больше патронов и //молись//, что что-то из этого попадёт в цель. Ушло в массы и теперь применяется ко всему, где что-то используется наугад в попытке получить хоть какие-то результаты. Например, финансировать большое количество стартапов, надеясь, что какие-то из них выстрелят.
