[4.20 Beta 3] Spinning the vessel wildly when hit by a container

Post by Wultan » Sun, 28. Nov 21, 17:08

If I fly with my rattlesnake through a former combat zone with many loot containers and switch on the loot magnet, it can happen that the ship is hit by a container and then starts to circle like crazy.

This only happens with my rattlesnake (I don't have any other L-ships) and activated loot magnet. This does not happen if I leave the loot magnet switched off.

It hasn't happened to me yet with S or M ships.

It happens to me as well, and is not specific to Rattlesnake or this version of the game. I believe OP meant spinning on itself rather than circle.
I believe this is enabled by the new more powerful magnet for capital ship introduced in a recent version (but not 3.20).
This more powerful magnet is so useful, I'd rather risk my ship spinning wildly from time to time rather than losing the magnet :-)
It's not very realistic but doesn't last long anyway.

Stop moving, then the spinning effect do not happens.

You don't need something as bulky as a container. Today I was laying out nav beacons in a Katana and started moving before it had properly exited the ship. This sent my ship into a wild spin.

I believe this is fixed since 5.00 beta as I never encountered that issue anymore despite using magnet on a lot of cargo.
