==== 1. Using comet ion tails as a ''distributed resource field'' rather than a target body - Treating the tail as a harvestable “gas stream” instead of trying to anchor on the nucleus. ====
# Multi-kite HV capture geometry - Configuring multiple charged sails with optimized spacing and potential differences to maximize ion capture cross-section while minimizing structural mass.
# Integrated capture-to-propellant chain in orbit - Specific architecture that: - collects - cryo-separates - electrolyzes - liquefies - stores all on a single platform tied to scheduled comet encounters.
# Event-based refueling protocol - Power/fuel logistics that treat comet fly-bys as scheduled resupply events, with associated orbit design and mission planning.

If you want, next step I can:
* Draft this as a short provisional-style outline (claims scaffolding + background + summary), or
* Run a mutation pass inside this concept: e.g., “same idea, but optimized for CubeSat-scale demos” or “same idea, but purely for xenon/argon collection for ion thrusters.”

Up to you which branch you want to push.
