Atmospheric Drag

This mod implements drag when within a planet's atmosphere.

Using a speed mod upgrading top speed to 250m/s or greater is recommended for best effect. You will still be able to feel the drag in vanilla but your ships will most likely still hit the game's low hard cap therefore ruining a lot of the effect.

This mod creates a VERY different feel for planetary travel which adds much more depth to gameplay on a planet.

- You will need strong forward thrust to reach significant speed inside an atmosphere.
- The drag allows you to bank into turns and pitch up and down to help re-direct your momentum
- Drag makes it more difficult to get to space due to overcoming drag upon ascent.
- Drag will help with reentry of heavy ships that can't slow themselves down fast enough
- Traveling at high altitude or in space around the planet will be faster and more fuel efficient due to lower or no drag.
- You can somewhat glide your ship in a free-fall by leaning in a direction while falling

Forumla for Drag is:
D = V^2*A*P

D = Drag (applied in opposite direction of velocity)
V = Velocity
A = Surface area algorithm considering all sides facing the linear velocity
P = Atmospheric Density (100% near surface 0% when you reach edge of atmosphere)
