All the convenience and ease of an automatic, with all the freedom and control of a manual. Super advanced hi-tech new materials allow nearly seamless on-the-fly computer controlled shifting even when travelling at warp 8. No smoking near the transmission though. Normally we wouldn't object, but...
No more watching your soup float around the room annoyingly - the built in digital gravity chip in this model (gravity is JUST a theory, btw) keeps that soup right where it should be. In your talon, that is. Ever get thirsty when out seizing things on a spacewalk with your artificial limbs? You won't get thirsty if there is soup in your talon, am I right? Of course I'm right, I'm CRAZY MOPPO!
We all know that the THEORY of gravity, like the THEORY of evolution, is just a theory. Nonsense in fact. If you can't actually see it, how can you believe it? And if you don't believe it, it is much less 'heavy' (no pun intended). Thus when exposed to the truth, a 250 megaton axle rod is actually very easy to lift. A sandbox is included because sometimes you have to stick your head in the sand to help this phenomenon work.
Recharge your power station while stopping on a dime with the power of several megatons of rapidly rotating molten uranium held in a rigid magnetic anomaly field, which obviously gives zero friction conditions, or something like that.
With this off-spacelane vehicle you can waste fuel, tear up native ecosystems, make a lot of noise, and spray pollution all over the place. It is awesome.
