In this video I would like to diagnose what made the original hovermode fail. It was a great idea, however the high thruster power and lack of inertia and fine control for the pilot appear to be what caused it to fail.

The arguments I would like to make is that if CIG models atmospheric flight (close to the ground) is modeled realistically after helicopters (and their speeds, accelerations) then a realistic and engaging hover experience would automatically fall into place.
