Voice of practicality:
Also worth noting - grand theft on this scale, this late in the game, *will* do some damage to Fen/Dane relations, and will, in turn, result in many of the other fen rather disliking you. The fact that you naturally steal anything that touches you will result in them disliking you *more*. So far as I can see it, the major responses to your character will be...
- Will do their damndest to keep from getting too close to you. If they cannot move at least as fast as you can, they will gather together the most effective improvised weapons they can come up with as soon as you get near and warn you off. If you *do* manage to hook on to them, they are likely to walk through your ship looking for the initial car. If they ever find it, they will turn off the drive, in the hopes that this will stop the gluing effect. If this works, they will break the drive with a wrench.
- As above, but also want to hunt you down on behalf of various planetside interests/loyalties. They might not send anyone after you, but you can *bet* there's a bounty on your head - or three.
- Think you're cool, because of the way you stick it to the 'Danes - but still don't want to get too near to you.
It's also worth noting that getting bigger means you go slower. Swallowing a space station will mean you're pretty much down to a crawl. Swallowing a space station and then sneaking back down to the surface for a bit of late-night raiding? Well, they *may* not be able to effectively blow their way through the wall o' junk, depending on how thick it is, but they will certainly be hitting you with a fair amount of highly explosive rounds in all sorts of varieties.
Essentially, assuming success at the snatch-and-grabs, for whatever reason, I could see this character being a really interesting NPC/bizarre and dangerous encounter - particularly as one of the Strange Happenings In Season II - but with the degree of difficulty he'd have just in interacting with anyone, let alone makign money and acquiring basic food supplies, I'm not sure I can see why you'd want to run him as a main character.
