If you have a lot of it, you better be a very skilled pilot. Why, because you will be fighting it and correcting for its influence constantly. It can scare you, it will fatigue you and even make you want to call it quits (once you are on the ground of course).

Can you change one to the other? The funny part is, the rifle is made up of tangible working components. All of them are a noun except (unitl now) the rifle chamber. The chamber was a service, a job, something you had done. Don't believe me? Walk into a gun store and ask to buy just a rifle chamber and see just what funny looks you get. The ACE system finishes or completes the rifle into a true all-component status.
