So as far as a giant ship goes, it depends on its overall mass, but also its thruster layout, and also its purpose as well. So it can be a big ship, but big ships can have many roles. You can have an explorer ship, you can have a cargo ship, you can have a fuel ship. So there's certain characteristics we always try and apply to those types of ships and maneuverability. So if we take the Hammerhead, for example, that's actually quite maneuverable because it's a combat ship, whereas ships like the Starfarer are much slower and cumbersome because it's a big, heavy fuel tanker. So we try and put that feel into the ships, that character. And each ship's got its own unique identity based on the balance, but also where the thrusters are on the ship as well. So that defines how it feels, and how close the thrusters are to the center of mass on the ship can have an impact on the feel of the ship as well. So there's several factors that come into it.
