Thread: Nova Courier booster deccelaration bug?

I took my new Nova out for a spin the other night to get a feel for the way she handles. I was working on some booster manuevers when I noticed that she would move in the opposite direction whenever she deccelerated from a boost. I would pitch her up during a booster acceleration, and once the booster cut out she wouldstart to pitch down even though I had the stick pulled all the way back. The same thing happened when I tried to yaw or roll. Is this a game bug?

Yes, affects the Decimator and YT-1300 too.

It's been going on for a long while. I always thought it was just the boosters adding a jump of speed to the large ships, but when the boosters shut off, the ship slams back to its original speed, and takes some wacky manuvers because of it.

it happens to all Multipassenger ships - Nova, Decimator, YT-1300 and the Luxury yacht.

When the boosters turn off in any ship, it reduces the performance of the engine during the slow-down phase. I used to think that it make the performance so bad, it went backwards...which is why you get crossed controls.

Not too sure about that anymore...my Deci had a nice engine and it still happened.
