Its true that drogue chute has little uses other than countering carronades will to smack us down to the ground.
Those suggestions.... i love them.. In my oppinion i would use the FUDGE out of them.
But not all maps have wind.
Also would kill the ship more, specialy in paritian... oh god... I dont want to think about it. But i would love to have a strafing ability with my spire XD
And stopping the ships calls for different stat mechanics. For example, some abilities share same stats but have different numbers on them Like moonshine and Kyrosine.
No stat really stop your ship, just engine output. Which does not break your ship that is allready going fast, it just makes you not be able to keep the speed that you were going up. Because your engines can only go so fast now.
Stopping the ship should then be considered into -% longtidunal, arial or whatever drags in all directions. Which i think is... counter intuitive? I cant seem why remember having minus drags would be OP. Cant remember but there is something. But if not, ide have that!
