With Update 209 just around the corner, I'm doing one FINAL Economy Only playthrough in Space Engineers. Can we survive by just scavenging and trading the entire system before it changes?

In this run, I’m pushing the current Economy system to its limits:
NO Hand Mining or Ship Mining.
NO Building a new ship from scratch (merging, refurbishing and minor redesigns allowed)
ONLY Trading, Contracts, and Scavenging.

GOAL: Establish a worthy Large Vessel for battle and space exploration

Keen Software House is bringing major changes to the economy in the upcoming Update 209. I wanted try a final playthrough of Economy Only before the changes occur.
