Lateral movement feels like I'm moving in molasses

The few hours I got to play before servers went down for this patch zipping along strafing around frigates in my interceptor felt so damn wonderful like I finally found a space game worth my time in the few out there, then after this patch I loaded up a match and jumped into my interceptor and started with a and d and space and alt, and my ship felt like it was going nowhere. WHY was lateral movement made to feel like I’m NOT in space anymore?

May be because your lateral movement is relative to the ships mass and the thrust of the maneuvering jets.  Since the RCS is not as powefull as your primary drive system.  Makes sense really…
