"Look ma, barrel roll!" Having run the SRV edition, we decided it was high-time to launch one of our most requested rewards: a ship-based stunt contest. Whether you're speed-landing a Beluga on a high-G planet or reversing a Cutter inside a mailslot, we want to see what you're made of.
As well as some chunky top rewards for amazing manoeuvres, we've got a Fleet Carrier's worth of smaller rewards. So even if you don't consider yourself a stunt-master, give it a (trick)shot. We'll accept videos of any length, and they can contain more than one trick. However, please highlight the moment in the video in which you perform your very best stunt and consider adding some accompanying text to let us know what makes it so impressive.
In your post description, please tag us at the end of your post! We're @JustAbout__ on YouTube, @justaboutcommunity on Instagram, and @justaboutcommunity on TikTok. We'd also love it if you included #JustAbout.

I hope this counts 😅
SLF fighters are still technically ships and I've been always enjoying watching Farseer Inc. structure and the surrounding terrain but never had an opportunity to try any stunts in that location. Turned out SLF is small enough to fill in gaps between bridges and metal frames at the top of them.

Discovered that big objects such as stations have collision boxes that match exactly with the model, and that the Cobra MKV has quite a smaller profile than I previously thought... Also, quite the landing.

I recorded this video doing some maneuvers with the Federal Corvette
It's a bit heavy and difficult to maneuver, but I managed to do some cool things, I even went inside a capital class ship lol

It seems like the mail slot flipping side of this challenge has been well and truly covered by some of the other excellent entries here so I decided instead to go back to my old "Extreme SLF Docking Challenge" for this.
The idea is to recreate that amazing docking sequence from Interstellar.
The steps are as follows: 1) Position your mothership at a decent altitude above a planet surface. 2) Turn off flight assist and apply some pitch/roll/yaw to get the ship tumbling in an interesting and challenging way. 3) Turn off the ship's thrusters (so it can't try to follow the fighter). 4) Deploy the SLF. 5) Request docking with the mothership and then try to get your fighter back on board so you can turn the thrusters back on and save the mothership just before it crashes into the ground.
Here goes! (the main action starts at around 1:34 when I begin tumbling the ship).
It's not perfect. Although I manage to dock the fighter about a second before the mothership hits the ground it does actually then hit before I can get back inside. I think an ideal run would have me turning the thrusters back on and regaining control just before that happens. I had another run where I managed to do that but it actually looked a bit too easy and not quite as entertaining as this one.
P.S. I did mention that I had another idea, and it would have been flippin' beautiful too, except the game threw me a curve ball I hadn't anticipated. My idea was to set the mothership drifting (FA Off, engines off) towards one of the those installation tunnels that has closed shutter doors at either end which need to be shot at in order to open them. I would then deploy the fighter, fly ahead of the ship, shoot both doors open (flying through the tunnel to do), then loop back around to follow the mothership as it floats through the tunnel, and then reboard the mothership the other side. Unfortunately it turns out that the moment you deploy the SLF the mothership grinds to a halt! Don't ask me how since it's engines are turned off but alas that rather killed the idea. Shame ... it would have been a really cool stunt.
