The first 4 minutes of the Ship's burn appeared to be nominal, with all 6 Raptors running. There is a small dip in the graph around the 5:45 mark, but I think that was a data error, as the fuel quantities get right back on track afterwards.
To start, I will say that this is probably my most interesting graph by far, as we can see both tanks start at less than 100%, which is most likely due to boil-off during the last minutes of the count. Then, both tanks start dropping at the same rate up until about T+1:00,
First, we can see that for most of the ship's burn, there is a long period of consistent increase in acceleration. This means that the Ship is firing all 6 engines at a constant throttle level, and is not trying to control for g-forces.
First, we see a constant acceleration of ~6m/s^2. The best reason for this that I can see would be limiting aerodynamic loads on the early ascent, which is necessary because the flaps move the CoP much higher than it is on other rockets, which do not do this on ascent.
