This is sometimes used to build a colony up in stages with smaller ships. As an extreme example, a ship might carry only 1,000 colonists and their equipment at a time, to a colony 1 week-long jump away from the colonists' origin, building up to 1,000,000 colonists over 100 back-and-forth trips over the span of 40-50 years (2,000 weeks, plus time to load and unload 1,000 times each). These same ships are typically capable of much longer journeys; only the logistics of scheduling multiple trips in a reasonable time span limits their range for such operations. {{Unpublished cite|author= [[Adrian Tymes]] }} | This is sometimes used to build a colony up in stages with smaller ships.
