Split your nanotech up into 5 gradient points:
Hard sci-fi, science-with-a-magical-blessing, science/fantasy, demiscience, fantasy beyond circumstancesAssume a rigid matter default engineering principle: most materials really ought to survive a planet-to-planet journey. From there, throw out everything not related to acceleration as potentially useless.1. Send a utility vehicle with a nearly or semi-fissile material to disperse clouds along the route
2. Wait for the data on material/radiation conditions
3. Send travel vehicle with a magnetospore bulkhead through the fogCreating optimal thrust still needs a ton of engineering, but the point is to avoid on-board mass during the primary acceleration process. I have not solved for breaking since crash landing on an alien world without any (other) survivors is technically a valid success case for a sentient nanite cohesion.Current iterational design is focused on a long thrust needle with multiple molecular conversion factor. No matter what I call the vehicles, I recognize the colloquial terms egg and sperm will be used. :I
