It takes a lot of properly flown Auroras to make a next size up Aurora, a Constellation, fly perfectly. Then the logical move is to got for a next size up Aurora - the Bengal. :like:

That's great news! I think we should put an Aurora into a larger Aurora, the Connie, which we should put into a larger Aurora, the Bengal, and we should go to a planet's orbit to watch a shining Aurora while flying Aurora inside an Aurora, inside another Aurora, while an Aurora carries an Aurora, which carries an Aurora! 🍻

That's the TEST Tactical Entry technique! 🍻

That's right, they'll never expect a squadron of elite troops to come stumbling out of the roof hatch after you distracted them by landing so expertly

Imagine how will they be surprised when they see a squadron of Auroras stumbling out of an awesomely landed Bengal!

we now have a new flight school instructor

We should open a flight school inside the Bengal, so that our students are trained in a proper environment. Safety third! 🍻

Have you been wandering why the Constellation series have a manhole in the roof?
Did you feel that you may not be operating the ship correctly?
Don't worry, after some rigorous TESTing I've found answers to all those questions. See below.

I finally landed a Prospector on the wall of a hanger at Lorville. the trick seems to be to look at the keyboard instead of the screen. There were only two problems with the technique. The ship didn't explode, and I survived jumping down to the hanger floor.

Today I've seen my flight lessons are helping fellow TESTies to properly enjoy the game and fly safe.
As I was TESTing the Ursa (which in the end has successfully fallen through the planet surface) I've seen a properly landed Constellation Phoenix.
You can see an obvious design flaw with the Phoenix - there are no exit doors (docking collars / manholes) on it's sides, so you have to use the entrance to exit ship.
There is also a new feature uncovered with the Connie line-up: when properly landed, the lift becomes an extendable TV antenna, so that you can watch TEST-tv when taking a break.

This doesn't look right. Where are the dents, broken windows and flames?

Of cause we are not animals, so for a Phoenix there is a standard landing procedure and an elegant landing procedure.
The standard procedure is you keep the piano where it is, so that when you properly land the ship, the piano will indicate that with a soft and pleasant sound as it crashes into the ship's ceiling.
The elegant landing procedure is that before you land the ship, you throw the piano off the board, so that it's not damaged during the landing. This method is more difficult, as there is no sound indication of the correct landing, so it requires some skill. However, there is a positive note, which is played by the piano, as it gently warns any bystanders on the ground slamming into the ground just a foot away (takes practice). This, however, requires a supply of pianos, but hey, there is a pretty large cargo bay on the Phoenix. 🍻
