I remember you saying that Mechazilla will catch Super Heavy booster + ship, wondering how the ship will caught using the Mechazilla? In other words, what will the Mechazilla latch on to for catching the Ship, will it be upper flap wings? As for Super Heavy booster there's fins

Booster has 2 pins for lifting & catching, although maybe it’s better to modify grid fins to take more load. Something will need to flip out from leeward side of top of ship to do same there. Maybe it’s part of fwd flaps, but prob not. Diff solutions for diff load paths.
