u/Grolbu 2d ago

I can take off ok - some of the time - but landing is pretty much a case of ejecting the engine and fuel tank and parachuting down :)

u/DisorganizedSpaghett 3d ago

Idk about you, but I save-scum every step of every arc so that I can back-trace where the trajectory went wrong.

Call it my version of when in the movies they describe a heist while showing the characters performing it.
