I also thought about high speed cross country transport. In either case you have trade offs, speed vs load capacity. That is why I suggested looking at the Tu-95. The speed vs load is obvious with that one. Personally I would compare with planes with partial or full pressurization like DC-7s or Lockheed Constellations. One day to cross the continent seems quite livable. Unless you are going to look at Concord or similar an electric Connie works well.

The other "issue" with too fast a plane becomes the issue where players may start just sitting an waiting for support. This is supposed to be a game of you are on your own. Even teams who have been out for years are still intended to be isolated. If you know big brother can be here with a war load in X hours, why do the hard work. Or the players or project director becomes the general always looking over your shoulder syndrome.

Just my $0.02.
