Edit made to "[Organisation] O'Neill's Angels":
[start]
Unfortunately the design of the rings wasn't good enough. Even though the hardened, embedded, waved micro-circuitry is a brilliant piece of design work, the designer wasn't as good as "Braniac 5". Flight in space isn't a problem, zero-G manoeuvring works perfectly, flight in significant gravity wells, not so good. However, the flight is just good enough to manage a controlled crash into a gravity well. It's unclear whether the Angels know about this problem (actually, they do, as they tried flying before leaving Earth for O'Neill Station).
[end]
Adds a new paragraph just before the final sentence on the flight rings.
