If you think they can only be used for zero-G maneuvering, I'll go with that.
Arthur has certainly not got the genius of Braniac 5.
I'd prefer it if they could be used to at least perform a controlled crash into a gravity field, even if you can't use them to take-off - maybe some sort of gravitic dissipation/defocussing trick?
I think we can go with this...
