![[Detail] The PDCs have counter-thrusters when they're firing](https://dubvee.org/pictrs/image/e23395c9-416e-4fbb-9dcf-3e1f43c01a40.webp){kind=link}
Just noticing this for the first time. When the PDCs fire, there is a counter-thruster to keep the recoil from affecting the ship’s attitude / maneuverability. I love little attentions to detail like that.

That was around Ilus when they’re trying to tow the Barb to a safer orbit because the protomolocule changed the local laws of physics such that all of the ships’ fusion drives no longer worked. The drive could have tried to compensate for that, but with fusion not working, it wouldn’t have.
Plus, they could probably disable that somehow if they needed to (or Naomi or Amos could jerry-rig it for the same effect).
