    That worked way better than I could ever dream it would!
    Perfect example of the whip effect, it's probably the scale and the long stiff sections that made it go so slow as 280m/s.
    What I mean by slow is that it should have cracked the sound barrier but TFE "just" managed about 1008 km/h, not the 343m/s or 1234km/h for the Earth based sound barrier at 20°C / 68°F.
    The tail whip to the face was such a great example of the dangers of heavy articulated things in motion, way to take one for the team TFE!
    Capac's ship looks great, I just hope that he adds enough lift to all those storage containers, even with 9 it's a lot of cargo that has to break out of the gravity.
    That canyon jump was oh so perfect, with the one in a million hit to the trade station, was the epic cherry on top!
    So great that you caught the self ejection of the vehicle from it's wedged connection, that probably saved a lot of headache but also undone an interesting conundrum that needed solving.
    I wonder if the small flyer could have given enough wiggle while connected to undo the wedging, but we'll probably never know now.

Flawless execution with the "chain" followed up by hilarity with driving around with the "chain" to end with TFE getting whiplashed. Bet Capac wishes he was down on the planet for that.

    Selecting every hinge on the cable and just nudging their limits to 89 and then 90 would've probably been easier, albeit possibly explosive. And turning them on and off and all that.
    The winch really feels like one of the hijinks they'd put in that multiplayer overhaul testing trailer. Though I'm surprised it went so smoothly with the end missing any wheels, and a little T-frame on the end would solve the minor roll issue. Y'know, for 'when you do this again'.
    I'm impressed how stable the winch is on its side since the angles involved do mean it does just stay flat and keep the armor mostly off the ground.

    Turn the 1.6 km tail into a launcher whip to get the VG into space similar to how you and Shadow launched the RV in RVs at War.
    I was just re watching an episode of Survival ... Unlikley (Season 3 Episode 28) and came up with an idea. We need weapons, or ammo, that will disable a block, like a turret, but not damage it any further once the block is disabled. To balance maybe the weapon would take twice as many bullets as a regular weapon would to disable to the same point.
