However, I am bothered by the flight path of the shuttle during Needa's visit to the Executor. It seems a bit arching and ponderous to me (for all 7 seconds it's on screen). Is that flight path final?
Yes, it's final. Ideally i would have liked the shuttle to have taken a path that would take it underneath the Executor, but with its angle that wasn't an option so i just had t go in the direction of the original shuttle
