Few things here:

First I'll make it clear that I still don't like it. I used a little piece of paper cut and folded to size ain't no sticky tape going on my PSP.

Tested it with both games at Phantom only and found the following, new records discarded, obviously.

Don't underestimate the advantage doing this will give you, its noticeable on both games after some testing.

Pure seems to benefit from it the most, I don't know why you feel it is a task to keep the nose down all the time Medusa theres virtually everything to gain in Pure from it. Ships are faster in general, the acceleration doesn't feel so excruciatingly painful, my ship seemed to recover quicker from weapon hits and I was breaking records across the board and ship handling was better. Also helps make landing smoother after a drop.

Pulse I'm not sure if it's more of a hassle or not, you need to either nose up or quickly correct your steering on some mag strips, lets take Moa Therma white, enter the first mag strip with the nose jammed down and the ship instantly slides down to the left and into the wall. Also feels like it makes the already twitchy mag strip handling even worse so it's overall harder to control the ship on one. Again you can see the noticeable difference it makes to the ships speed in general. Weapons also appear to have severely reduced stopping power, recovery times are quicker. Landing off jumps varies it doesn't always help.

I feel like it required more skill in order to use this on Pulse, at least with an Assegai I didn't try any other team.
