Gripe / bug / user error: erratic steering

[UK_Eliter]

Hi all

For years now, but possibly only when flying with some ships - I forget - there has been a steering anomaly. I am unsure quite what the anomaly is, but, in some wise, when I try to make my ship pitch or roll sometimes it does not respond. Perhaps it is a problem with the Fer-de-lance 3G that I fly and that, er, I coded. Might anyone advise? If others have not observed this behaviour with their (i.e. other) ships, I can post the relevant shipdata.

I like to think that it was this problem that just now got me deaded when I misjumped, between two anarchies, and had to fight a few thargoids and several uber-assed pirates . .

Flying by Keyboard? Mouse? Controller? Joystick?

And are there other OXPs involved which might involve the steering? Eg. Hard Way, Bullet Drive, Shaky Drive (all affect Torus Drive steering), Ship Configuration (can affect regular maneuvering)...

Hi Cholmondely

I am flying by mouse (!).

I believe I have no relevant OXPs, except the one supplying my ship. I do have BulletDrive, but the problem is not - or I have not noticed it when - using the torus drive. I have Military Fuel Injectors too - but dito (and I looked within that latter OXP and found nothing that might cause the problem).
