Earthworm: I said WC already has a simplified flight control scheme. All I said is add in gravity for planet-side missions. Nothing complicated about dealing with gravity.

Does it bother you that much that ejected pilots float in the air? Maybe they have an anti gravity mechanism like the coffins in the funerals have, so that they don`t get drawn into planets or asteroids or stars or anything else that has enough mass.

That's the easy answer. The real reason is because Origin in all honestly sorta skimped on the planetary missions and didn't add gravity. It probably would not have been easy to do and I understand that but if you are going to do something, do it all the way.

In a few missions where the Midway is in an asteroid field, I like playing asteroid soccer - fly into an asteroid (not at full speed!) and push it into the direction of the Midway. I aim for the plasma weapon, but I don't think it can receive damage that way. It's also funny how AI doesn't recognise asteroids, in all the games where they are present, it's funny watching baddies splatting into them of their own accord (and not so funny when your wingmen do the same, even in formation). And you can travel thru asteroids in autopilot.

And about Paradigm boosts, on the times I have invincibility on, when they crash into me I get thrown at over 3000 kps in an instant. Whoa!
