That was the weirdest thing I've seen in this game.

I was just playing a game where it happened to my ship. Another wierd thing I have seen is rings without planets in the center.

I've seen both invisible ships and stations/planets.. Happens every time I load/resume after I get whacked (usually by a kamikaze pirate ramming me).
Looks like a bad re-initialisation after reload.

My biggest beef to date would be the ship-turning. Why in god's name when I start turning one way does it suddenly decide it prefers to turn the other (often to meet a ship or planet?)

I noticed that too, but only when using the keyboard.

Darkhan<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I've only noticed it with the keyboard too, and it only happens then if you're trying to do a really long, sharp turn. If you don't do such hard turns it doesn't happen (say take a hard right for a bit, then let off it, and when you start to slow down in your turn rate, then start turning again). It usually works fairly well.
