Momentum is incorrectly refrenced on local space and not Global space

Ships that have lingering momentum seem to reference only local space and not global space. This can be seen in the video bellow.

A simple ship with all thrusters in all directions except for backwards is used.

  • Thrust forward and then stop thrusting.
  • While coasting now, start to slowly turn your ship
  • Notice how you can now have a thruster facing the original direction where you where going but the movement is relative to your local rotation and orientation vs globally as you would expect.

I would expect the ship to cancel out the momentum when one of the thrusters got closer inline with the momentum vector.
