Thanks! I had the idea to let the player ride the rocket, but I didn't have the time to figure out a workaround to make sure it still had physics interactions with other pawns while simply blocking the player. The other concern I had was that, with outdoor levels like these, letting the player ride the rocket would allow them to bypass most of the level. I would definitely like to try it out, at least!
Yeah, the lighting is awful, I need to give it some attention at some point. Glad you liked the idea, though!
