Instantaneous angular velocity vs ramped angular velocity from gyros

Gyroscope acceleration to the gyros force should be instant, not ramped. This is not about the force the gyros deliver to a spaceship its the speed at which they ramp up and ramp down.

Currently, gyros deliver force and ramp down over a quarter of a second. As a result, when a heavy ship has a bunch of gyros on it to make it turn faster, it will turn and then correct and snap back in the opposite direction as the gyros reverse spin to counter their turn. This makes the ship seem like its fighting your controls and makes large ships with many gyros very twitchy.
