So these days water acts more realistically which is good but think about real life now. A pilot who knows he can't make it to an airport/aircraft carrier chooses an island.Why? Because grass has less friction than water which means less of a chance of death. In Ksp a player who is flying above land and is losing control and knows he will have to make an emergency landing will try to make it to the water. Why? Because water is like a soft mattress and the ground is like a pavement that is made up of klaws that grab any part and destroy it no matter how soft the landing is. My idea: make the ground less lethal and keep the water.
