There a reason this is in Playtesting instead of Off-Topic?

Their zero-g minigame seems a lot like the training in Ender's Game. Will be interesting to see how they handle having no thrusters -- I've prototyped grapple-only zero G movement and it's tough. You inevitably want to make small course corrections and a conventional grapple isn't really suited for that. Makes me think their grapple will have abilities that sort of mimic thrusters.

Double oops, I meant to send a private message to you. (Must have been over my limit last night.)

I believe I posted it here to keep it in the testing group awaiting approval to be a public topic as the 0g aspects of AoT are one of many features that are somewhat exclusive to the game.

Yeah I'm in favor of posting it publicly
