Ha... I thought I had more than 400km to fly to reach the shelter until I realized that it is on the other side of the Celin and crashed full speed into the surface in a true TEST spirit!

Not sure if that's a feature or a bug.
Both, it is a feature of 3.0 while me having some "bugs". Bugs were further exacerbated by earlier consumed beer(s) (I said it was in a true TEST spirit) :grin:
Looks like your dog tried to roll over and got stuck.

Awesome job - could you walk around OK inside or were you walking on the walls instead of the floor?
I am curious for SCIENCE!

I managed to land a freelancer on a light pole 15 feet off ground. Couldn't get back into my ship. Good times.
My first landing was as great as a flight instructor demo. Perfect but boring. Freelancers are easy.
My second landing was more uplifting since I slammed into the surface after re-entry and bounced 1km back up into the sky. Cutlasses got no acceleration to slow down with.
My 3rd landing was also a hit and run since I forgot that Heralds only accelerate forward well. Even pointed up like a rocket I was unable to keep myself from smashing into the surface.
So far no damage from any collisions with the surface. I was really hoping for a good Crashmas thus year :(

i could walk ok inside, but when i used the elevator i fell out when i was outside
I vote for gas powered magnetic grapple guns. With a 300 pound test mono filament.
I like.
I want one like Rufus used in Bill and Teds Bogus Journey to follow the Evil Robot Us's - Can't find a clip or image anywhere but is was basically a Neon guitar that he jammed into the top of their time traveling phone booth and then just got dragged along by a cable.
Yup, my first landing was in a Cutty. Landed it tail down, nose pointing up at 45 degrees. Rear hatch would not work, so I fell out a side door. I agree with Sunder, grappling hooks should be mandatory. Come on, even Stormtroopers, stationed INSIDE a huge Deathstar the size of a moon had them!
My first landing went only slightly better, but also ended in suicide. It was a Cutlass Black, and it did land right side up. but. The new Cutlass model doesn't have ladders to get in or out, so I landed and lowered the ramp. I didn't even bother to look at the height of the ramp off the ground, but it was higher than my ... toon? ... can jump so he couldn't get back in. Had to choose between: A) commit suicide out of embarrassment, or B) die of oxygen starvation in a little over an hour. He chose A.
