SpaceX can throttle much lower than that . We don ' t know the actual lower bound on the throttle range but we ' ve been told 60 %, but that ' s of 19 the total thrust when landing on only the center engine . That ' s the equivalent of less than 7 % throttle and it ' s still too high to hover . Orbital boosters just have such better mass fractions by necessity that a near empty rocket at landing requires an extremely small percentage of lift off thrust to hover . Hovering is indeed terribly inefficient but it ' s very helpful for refining your control software during the development phase . It ' s taken SpaceX more attempts at landing to get it down but their control software is now much better than Blue Origins . <| sep |> Elaine and Princess Meiran might have a place on your pvp team and are essential for pve . Shanti would be a nice backup striker against light GK ' s someday . Kirin ' s also an option , but he needs a very special team setup to support him . Picking up a single copy of Cynthia and Celus is really good for pve too . A Linmay dupe would be great if you want to run her instead of Sammy . Otherwise , any desirable dupe is a solid pickup .
