I have downloaded the game today - and it is great. Held me for hours playing.
But one thing is increasingly annoying me - some kind of weird, involuntary, persistant wonky bouncy movement of the ship.
The propulsors activate randomly, making my ship dance around. I can barely aim.
It does not seems to be any command i am sending - in fact, i have already put my hands off keyboard and mouse just to see it. It just keeps doing that “dance”.
Two other things i have noticed about this:
1- When i open the input field of the chatbox the movement stops completely. But of course, i can not send my own commands aswell, so that does not even work as a temporary fix.
2- The more manueverable a ship is, the more intense is its “dance”. I actually lose all the control for several seconds when i get my hands in a interceptor, while i almost do not notice the movement when playing a protection frigate.
I am not sure whether it is a bug or a problem with my computer/internet connection, but i’d love to know
The ship overcompensates for movement in various directions, causing it to oscillate. I cannot tell if this is by design or a bug, but flying in expert mode prevents it. (Though it means you cannot easily aim off-centre.)
Seems like latency issue. Press f11 to show your ping. Server selection is currently in testing now, may be you were assigned to the wrong server across a world from you.
As for me, ping 30 is usual, but sometimes, it rises to 250… This is a beta, just report about wrong server selections with logs. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
