Now hear me out, there's a giant fatass engine one one side of the ship and they gradually get smaller and smaller towards the other side of the ship.
So I really shouldn't fly in a straight line , there needs to be an option for me to activiate full power on all my engines and watch myself firing my guns in a 360 of disco lights.

You're assuming the mass distribution is the same as the volumetric distribution.

We clearly need a Death Blossom module, kinda like a DDD for sub-caps =)

You didn't request anything, you asked, and he answered, say thank you & close thread, then go back to spreading your arms out wide and running round your house making "neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew" noises.

You're forgetting most of the Catalyst's mass is concentrated on its starboard side - where its biggest engines are.

Huh, i guess. I just thought they always look relatively oversized and would involve blasting around in hilarious circles

It's a game who cares things go boom. I stopped caring about the mechanics and realism nine years ago. You will just get yourself worked up.

Good job on missing the very obvious point entirely I guess.

The ship sections with the larger engines usually contain a bakery and a pizza restaurant. Some have a 24/7 Doner Kebap delivery services which make deliveries all across the ship including the cockpit.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.
