There is something very frustrating with the spin inertia, almost impossible to regain control when things start rotating...

Here is a tip for a recent C64 game that uses one rocket like lunar lander:

I tried it just now (took me a while to figure out how to run this). From what I'm seeing this game has what is equivalent to attitude control on autopilot, meaning you stop spinning right away when you release the input. It is definitely easier to control, but removes one of the main challenges of drone flight.

Ok, yes you are right... rotational inertia is the challenge in Rocket Drone for sure.
