Evasive Maneuvers

Indreams:
I usually tell my crew, "Hull and Engines", when I'm escaping.

Hull keeps us alive. Engine keeps us on the move. I usually ignore the balloon as it is highly unlikely I'll chute or hydro twice in one maneuver.

It's still best to make sure they repair the balloon when they can, otherwise you could be left with a half-empty bag of air that's just keeping you from scratching the ground while there is a wall of terrain in your escape path.

One of the most enjoyable ways to escape on a Goldfish, I find, is to charge straight towards the metamidion and just dodge past it, or even slam down onto its balloon armour, shooting you high into the sky.

Make you're gunner help with repairs. No reason to have someone on gun if I have no engines and am currently in evasion mode. Despite popular belief being a gunner doesn't excuse one from work.

Oh I know.  But I meant if you wanted to avoid a ram or something or other.  If it was full out panic mode I would get him off guns for sure.  Then I would escape behind some measure of cover, if at all possible.

Indreams:
I read on the old forums that the height ceiling was different for different ships. Is this still true, and is it exploitable?

I don't know this for sure, but I would imagine what was meant was a ship like the Spire would hit the flight ceiling faster that the mobula based on ship size and shape alone
