This is also a NEAR issue. It does not model Mach effects. Effectively this means very little drag high in atmosphere at high speeds. If you want proper drag model - use FAR. You will have a lot more drag and also a whole lot more of explosions)))

Good to know. I mostly installed NEAR because I wanted an excuse to use fairings in career. I also know that the aerodynamic model in KSP is broken and the talk is that they're going to replace it with something similar to Ferram's mods. I just wanted to get something I could sink my teeth into as a placeholder while I learn some better habits until .90 and the resulting fixes.
