New alternative to Litchi for those that are into missions.

Here is an issue I have with Litchi, and that is decent rate. I have one flight I'm setting up where I want to drop from 400 ft down to 55 feet in about 1200 feet, Litchi will not do it. Now please don't throw the rules of three at me because those rules were made up for passenger comfort, my drone doesn't have any passengers. (1000 feet for every 3 miles).
I've set DJI at the max and that is 21 fps. At 15 mph that would be a decent rate of 6.3 fps dropping 345 feet and Litchi won't do it autonomously. Any ideas, and I think my math is right, maybe ?
 
I wonder if DroneLink has any plans to introduce gently curved, convergent, non-traditional (non-linear/non-parallel) flight paths into its mission planning capabilities in order to a) provide a much more diverse view perspective and b) help mitigate the well known Structure-from-Motion doming [elevation] errors?
I've provided an example of such a curved flight line mission plan for your consideration.Purtuniq - Quebec - Canada Image.jpg
