Corvette seems to have been upgraded in difficulty with the latest patch.
After attacking it, the whole ship starts bucking up and down and rolling left and right making it VERY hard to hit the turrets and stay away from teh top turrets. Keeps doing this all the way to it's jump point and makes it really hard to hit the subsystems without missles.
Kudos to the devs for this, nice addition. Had 3 people attacking it and it was a lot harder...and it got away....

I find that kind of stupid.
Capital ships should not move in awkward jerky movements, looks very unrealistic and sort of devalues the whole importance of the Star Wars feel in the games.
Starfighters doing rolls like that I can understand, but ships of that size no.
Either upgrade the armor or something, but dont make the expansion look as silly as the ground game.

It does look a little odd I think it makes the mission a lot harder.

Nope. It still does it's usual deadly twists and turns on occasion, as it has for a month or 2, but nothing so constant as what you sawnormally.
Gone up against 2, one yesterday, and one today(and soon another today); and so far, they've performed as expected.

Could just be an odd AI reaction to something.

Nah, it's the devs' fault.

Well this wasn't on occasion and it is happening any time anythign is attacking, doesn't twist and turn occasionally anytime anything is attacking it, it starts twisting and turning and keeps doing it for about 2 min. After it stops and you resume the attack, the first shot that hits triggers it's twisting and turning, it's very hard to hit the darn subsystems.

Try more than one vette? You know.. to see if you could duplicate that behavior?

when it hits a waypoint, the escort gunboats start ramming into it and it causes the odd movement, its done that for as long as i can remember, it just doesnt seem to stop now. its a bug. if you ask me they should just change the position of the gunboats so they cover the bottom better. that would fix the collision bug we have and make it a bit more challenging.

Is this with a constantly attacking group, or a bomberstrike; or is it a solo attack?
Doing it solo I've not seen that result, though it may be because I back off and let it calm down. Trigger happy group members and bomberstrike fighters don't do that; and after what I saw with the BS2 I launched at one last night, it might be linked to this issue.
Are you getting well out of range and powering down your engines when it dances around?
