@WorldEngineer To be more specific, I put 8 fins around the outside, and then when I pressed a button they all launched hundreds of meters away and exploded when they hit the ground.

I do not think it was a fuel leak.

@spyder I wonder if there's any way of reskinning the Steam app to remove all those.

It's harder to avoid all the reference in the Steam store or any other pages, but you can probably remove all the menu options you mentioned there

FEichinger

@PrivatePansy Doubt it. You could remove some of the links, maybe hook up some sort of JS to run through the browser pages, but that's about it.

That said, you can always just run it in Offline Mode, that makes most of it inaccessible anyway.
