After some haggling about getting a ship build as close as possible to original OV-100 specs, the Space Histroy Reenactment Group quickly came to the conclusion that it was hard to realize. So they settled into getting an OV-200 with some custom additions.
== Known Quirks ==
* ''Good Morning Starshine II:'' The Class Quirk for this model ship. Similar to the class quirk displayed by the [[Three Graces], the OV-200 Orbiters need music played at the beginning of each workday in order to function at peak efficiency. Unlike the Graces, the same song ''can'' be reused (no more than three times in a row per any given month), but each Orbiter needs a distinct ''genre'' of music played for the best possible effect. ''Pathfinder'' likes music from the later 50s and early 60s.
* ''Docking is a go:'' ''Pathfinder'' is not able to land in any hangar that is not on a planet. Instead she can only dock using the International Docking Standard connector.
* ''Gusmobile:'' Many people who visit the Pathfinder will bang their heads somewhere more then once during their stay, even through all decks are of normal height.
* ''What happens in Vegas...'' The ships AI, modeled after Gus Grissom of the original Mercury Seven, has an unhealthy facination with 'CSI'.

Now that's definitely keeping in tradition of The Graces. Smile
