A fleet of OV-200s would be a fine idea. The price isn't bad, and the

Unfortunately, it'll never get up due to the lack of a launch escape
system.

Oh? Let me borrow the time machine you used to see the designs for
the OV-200 series, I need to check out some future stock prices.

Isn't OV-200 generally interpreted as 'shape, size, plugs, stay - but
make the rest better'? - which'd imply that the designs, at least as
regards LES and other such macro-changes, are pretty firm.

The concept of OV-200 has been interpreted in a wide variety of way,
from simply plug-compatible to plug- and moldline- compatible and
beyond.
