I heard you’ve been tinkering with titanium composites—thought I might have some ideas for a sturdier frame.

Titanium composites, huh? I’d say the only “sturdier” thing I’d want in a frame is a design that actually stays on schedule. Bring your ideas—just make sure they’re not another gimmick that ends up heavier than the whole ship.

Got it. I’ll keep the frame light and strong, no extra weight. I’ll use forged steel and titanium sparingly, only where it really adds value, and I’ll make sure the schedule stays tight.

Sounds good—just remember that “sparingly” is the only place where a designer gets to flex their muscles without breaking the keel. Keep the schedule tight and the weight down; otherwise, we’ll just be chasing a fantasy.
