What makes a useless yet experimental airframe better? A second experiment! The Star Ski exceeds the Starskimmer’s weirdness chiefly by employing an escape pod system, using compact explosives to blast the cockpit away from the rest of the craft and allowing it to slowly glide down to the nearest suitable landing spot. The rest of the craft can also glide safely to an independent location, such as a nearby pond. Press 2 to dump the Flight Module, 3 to ditch the engines for a Land landing and 4 to use the parachute in case the cockpit grows too unstable to handle. Much like its predecessor, this thing also floats.
