I found a solution that stopped my drunken bumble bee effects for enemy ships. Here's my story.
I had the same problem when JTL first came out. I had a abit motherboard then with Nforce 2 chipset. I then left swg in Dec. During my time away I've upgraded to a AMD 64 system using socket 939. I came across this post last week before reactivating my account and thought great no more drunken bee's due to bug with my old nforce2 chipset.
When I got back in to space for the first time upon returning to swg I found to my horror I still got the druken bumble bee effect as soon as my cross hair got near the enemy ship. Anyway to cut a long story short I disabled my joystick in the game options on the launch pad and setup mouse control using the virtual joystick option in the in game settings. Upon doing this I found I don't have any more drunken bumble bee effect on enemy ships. Everthing smooth and back to normal and very playable once again
So it appears for me at least it was my wingman joystick enabled in the game options that was causing it. If you're using a joystick and have drunken bumble bee's enemy ships try disable your joystick and use the virtual joystick mouse control and see if it helps.

I didn't played JTL for about 3 month. Just been "working" on my bounty hunter if I had time.
Yesturday it worked fine in space combat but today it started with this bumpy space battles.
That is quite anoying.
I'm not going to buy a new MB or anything if this is the only way to fix the problem.
But first I will check this Joystick/Mouse thing, if it works.
I'm using a MSI MB with nForce2 Chipset.

OK. The virtual joystick workarround works :-)
Thanks for that.
But now I have to find a way to get my Joystick working properly.

Getting rid of the Joystick is *NOT* a solution.
I suggest if you want this to be dealt with as TH suggested, post it in the LIVE ISSUES Threads that are posted after each update.

It works fine as soon as the Logitech Wingman Profiler is running.
Without it it's bumpy again and so on...
So it works for me now but it's an issue which shuld be fixed.

I didn't have the bumble bee problem until I stuck a new video card in my computer. Fought with it for a month before I, on the suggestion of a friend, checked the settings on my AGP port. I opened the port to maximum (256MB for my mb) and the bees disappeared.

mmm i have an intel chipset and saw this once. haven't seen it since. i'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue. as a coder, i would assume more things would be apparently wrong than just some bouncy ships. it could a thousand different things. replacing your hardware fixed it obviously, but i would think that is just a side effect.
