We are talking about a game were lasers are blobs flying slower than even sound, ships travel through a parallel dimension, fighters in a vaccum handle like they fly in atmosphere, nebulae that are thiker than most planetary atmospheres, ships with engines as big as whole buildings fly with a constant 30 km/h ect.... and you say a very manouverable Aeolus is unrealistic (in answer to a joke....)?
Considering the size of the Aeolus such a handling would actually be closer to reality I think, since it can have its manouvering thrusters very far from the center of mass due to it being rather long in comparison to its total mass. But it wouldn't really fit into the game or most mods that way.
