"Hastily attaching pieces of superdimensional debris onto the exterior of the surviving starships will strain them. Their mass is not low. The more superdimensional goods we bolt onto their hulls, the more their acceleration profiles will become impaired. As a mech designer, you should be well aware of that. I do not think it is wise to be too greedy here. We are not talking about high-grade superdimensional matter. The vast majority of scrap consists of medium-grade variations, which are not as scarce. Our fleet has already suffered so much losses that we cannot withstand as much alien aggression as before. If we handicap ourselves even further by slowing down our navigation speed, the odds of failing to return home will increase drastically."
The Saint Commander did not ignore the value of superdimensional spoils, but she did not worship them either.
