AI Blocks auto-leveling while piloting

Hello,

It would be fantastic if Keen could either add a new AI block or add a setting into one of the existing ones that would allow for a grid to simply keep itself level with either the planetary gravity or to the ground level beneath it, while still allowing the engineer to pilot the vehicle with that setting turned on. This would be groundbreaking for mechs, hover vehicles, rovers, and even normal ships in planetary gravity, as many of these can struggle to keep themselves balanced without thrusters in every direction.

This type of setting is already available by using the AI Flight block, partnered with the AI Offensive, AI Defensive, or AI Basic blocks with a chosen target or waypoint. However, while those specific AI blocks have their AI behavior enabled, the engineer inside of the vehicle will be unable to control thrusters or gyroscopes, making it nearly impossible to use that feature for stability while maintaining control of the grid.

So again, if this feature were added to a new or existing AI block, it would allow the grid to stay balanced and upright simply by using its own location as the waypoint that determines its angle balance compared to the ground, while still allowing the engineer to pilot the vehicle in any direction without having to worry about keeping that balance.
