At 8 SU per met (1 lightning bolt, 1 deferred cushion) its insanely
expensive in terms of operational costs. Put yourself in hibernation
and take the damn boat (hibernation being darksleep, soul in a rock,
whatever). Your not aware of the passage of time so its a non element
for you. And you don't need to be fed and you can be stacked like wood
which makes the trip cheaper also.
