sails not to scale, they'd need to be massively bigger
also spin-stabilised??

@izaya
Does it have stabilizers on the masts?
@lucifargundam stabilisers?
was thinking they'd be a good place to mount orientation thrusters if that's what you mean

@izaya
Makes sense. I'm no astro-engineer but that sounds solid(no pun intended).
not sure how much putting thrusters on the masts would hurt the mass budget though, could probably do the maths but >.>
