This might just be me, but I've found that rolling the craft around, not on, but in a circle around either prograde or retrograde, with out a heat shield, I don't overheat and die like I should. This might just be me, my computer and the mods I use, but I was wondering if anyone else had it and that if it is more than me, is there a way to change re-entry heating to kill me like it should?
