Hi,
Oolite sometimes does not react properly to joystick speed settings. This especially becomes visible if the game is slowing down.
I had a look at PlayerEntityControls.m and it does check for speed settings below 0 and sets them to 0 in that case. However, that code block is not active for joystick speed settings.
It should be copied right after line 565 or the code being cleaned up to only check this once, regardless of the type of speed control mechanism, as there are already several those checks in, just none for stick speed control.

Fixing this should solve that slight reverse-thrust problem that Well-spotted, Screet!
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
