Multiplayer Large Grid Major Bug on Official Servers!

Server: NA#1

Grid Name: Comfort Eagle

Hello! I complained about a glitch in the past but did not offer you guys a grid to see it in action. Now I have a large ship I have just completed in the early stages of this bug/glitch.


First signs of this glitch which affected at least two of my large grid ships in the past are found when q/e rolling the ship. It will roll a bit in the opposite direction once you release the key. This is contrary to normal game function.

I'd like to offer you this ship for analysis before the bug worsens. From experience I can will tell you this ship will eventually become stuck in position and possibly even completely cease to exist. In one case the ship affected could not see other ships, and upon exiting the cockpit, the ship was gone, and my engineer was in a different place. In other examples, this glitch also affected my engineer, leaving me trapped inside an invisible box. Twice, I have had affected ships refuse to slow down. I have power cycled them, used thrust override, cycled dampeners over and over, even let the ship fly until a server reset. It did not fix the issue, and ultimately the ships never slowed down and were lost. They would respond only slightly to thrust input, slowing down roughly 5 m/s before returning to their previous speed immediately after releasing the wasd keys.

I just built this ship by hand from a projection which was attached to a small reactor separate from any other grids. I did not start the build with the grid set to a station, but did half way through. In the past this has affected grids built from projections attached to large stations, and from grids built with a large array of welders.

I do not know what causes this glitch, but since my first encounter, it has affected roughly one in five of my large grids. It has never affected a small grid, but I do not build many small grids in multiplayer, so it certainly could.

If you would be so kind as to maybe copy it to a new grid or something for me, or do something to make it go away, I would greatly appreciate it!

News! I seem to have defeated the bug by merging the ship in question to a new grid. For now everything is ok! To think I lost or ground down several huge ships because of this in the past... If you'd like an example of this ship, I suppose you should refer to the backup save circa my original bug report if that's possible. I will update this post if the bug returns.
