Hmm, well, having the engines farther away from the central axis might make it more manoeuverable (as you could steer in certain directions merely by applying differential thrust), I'm pretty sure it would also cause the ship to be less stable (...)

| (...) If you go by pure physics, the fact that you're in a vacuum would make everything more stable, since there's no real resistance. Besides, a sophisticated self-guided missile should be able to auto-correct the thruster outputs based on constant (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
