That was a neat video, good editing skills OP. Repped!
Thanks. I didn't create it though. I wish. My editing/software skills are no where near that level.

Dolphin
Orca
Beluga
Federal Dropship
Federal Assault Ship
Federal Gunship
Hauler
Adder
Fer De Lance
Eagle
Imperial Eagle...
The list goes on, half of the ships have at least some form of control surface that would make sense in atmosphere. Convince me otherwise, please
You also forget that this takes place in 3304, so I'm confident that aeronautical science and engineering has far surpassed anything we can dare to imagine today.

Fluid dynamics is pretty well understood today. However, we do have matter-blocking shields in 3304, so in theory one could have a dedicated, specialized low power shield that puts an aerodynamic bubble around a starship so it can fly well no matter what its shape is.
They have a hard time in mid G worlds just keeping straight while landing. That's without atmosphere. I cannot imagine trying to fight 1G plus the windspeeds against a T10 hull.It doesn't matter if they're aerodynamic anyway. Their thrust is powerful enough and presumable responsive enough to keep them stable and moving around without relying on aerodynamics.
Some might be more efficient than others, capable of higher speeds in atmospheres, etc., but all are capable enough, even as flying bricks.

I type with an accent and it’s not role play or a joke...it’s just a habit that I’ve had fer a very long time and it doesn’t bother me enough to change now.
And I’m from Belfast in Northern Ireland so close enough ^
Aerodynamics shmaerodynamics.
I don't give a crap about science, I just want fun stuff to do in-game.
I am not a native English speaker and need to know why people on this forum sometimes say "Ye" instead of "You".
To me it invokes a feeling of cringe due to them trying to role play a 17th century sailor.
Is my assumption correct or do I miss the joke.
