Post Dropships and FacingAngle
Heh again with the questions, I know. I was just wondering how would one tell if the ships is tilting, could I use FacingAngle? Or do DropShips not have a facing angle? is there a horizon angle I can look at?

RotAngle returns radians.

Post Re: Dropships and FacingAngle
Thank you very much, the follow up to this would be if I can control the thrust in the thruster individually? Would it be done by accessing the emitters, and then bursting? with AEmitter:TriggerBurst ? Another approach could be attaching a self.AngPID onto the dropship in order to rotate it? or can I just update RotAngle directy?

EDIT: Found about the pid,silly me. The PID updates the RotAngle, it just accounts for error. I feel it would be cheating though to just force the rotation instead of making the thrusters try to overcome it. Unless the PID would just try to use the thrusters.
