This brings back some the old memories;

The old L-5 Society was going to use a similar method to assemble material at LaGrange points in order to build 'O'Neill Space Habitats'.

 For really
 low-margin, high-bulk, non-perishable cargoes, I can easily
 see ballistic trajectories being used, with tugs pushing
 "barges" onto the right transfer trajectory, and
 other tugs catching them at the destination. The
 "barge" would just need to be a framework to hold
 the cargo together. Depending on your m-drive and
 g-compensator model, it would probably not even have to deal
 with acceleration stresses.

 Or it might be an in-system cargo hauler, where
 there's economic

 advantage to not having 10% of the hull taken up by fuel and
 the

 expense of a J-drive
