    @Stingray you should try focusing on the maneuverable aspect more just for one plane please? (im not being picky id just like to see what you would come up with since you are the master of speed)

    Thank you this one was a surprise to me, using ancient "blocks+clipped engines" to strengthen the body to withstand hyper speed. Which has worked on posts even under the "new" Steam. @Nickasaurus
