Messing around with the Mobula and my main criticism is...the guard rail in front of the wheel, it seems a touch too high. I don't know why, but I find it extremely distracting.

"Captain, they're above us!"
"Just a second...just...looking at this rail."

Crewing will be interesting - there are no shortcuts up from the wings to reach the main drive engine behind pilot station - getting down to the hull or balloon sure but coming back up - I only managed to get up onto the rear engine housing once.


As to strategic use -  I parked it in the wreck where Desert Scrap CP is staged - seems the perfect spot for it - rear covered, balloon hunkered down, 5 mercuries facing out.

Well, the only mildly interesting stunt I could pull off on this ship was getting onto the back end of the rudder, which is useless for engineering.

My main feature request for 1.3.1/1.4: Mobula rope collisions.

I dunno I can see the mobula paired up with a smaller ship like a goldfish, I just have this mental image of a goldfish flying backwards and using the open tail section as a kind of damage absorber.

Speaking of backwards, mobula is probably the worst ship to fly reverse. Balloon is super far from hull, and I can't find much parkour to do.
