Inertial Dampeners aren't working properly

Raptor2213 shared this bug ago

Reported

Fired up the game, and fired up one of the test ships. Turned off inertial dampers so I didn't have to keep holding down the thrust button. Went out a ways and then turned around and came back. Lined it up and hit thrust again. Found my trajectory to be drifting off to the side, so held down forward thrust and turned dampers on - still drifting without correction. In SE1, turning Dampers on while holding down a thrust direction would normalize the remaining thrust.

You can see the ship 'drifting' to the side, even with Dampeners on.

Hello Raptor2213,

I suspect that what you experienced might be due to the ship itself rather than Inertial Dampeners. Blue Ship AE-1 which you have used in the video is a big ship and its side thrusters are not strong enough to compensate changing direction in short time on full speed.

Please try the same scenario as in video with Blue Scout N-S1 which is available to subscribe in KeenSWH Steam workshop.

No, you can clearly see that they just aren’t firing. Also, if this was an issue with them taking time to compensate, you’d see the drift slowly getting better. The drift was consistent throughout.

Hello Raptor2213,

Please use the contraption in the save file I've provided. I used it to check for drift on my end. Please record new video from this try.

Unpack the file in to this folder:

Seems to not be an issue with small grids. I did another test with a different large ship and this time when I turned dampeners on, it also killed my forward momentum for some reason - this isn't a thing that any small grid does. This issue ONLY appears to be impacting large grids.

Hello Raptor and keen.

i have this problem too. before i make a ship i have to check in what direction i have to build . i use my thruster test world. i have put it in the workshop. ( no mods world)

its as if the cockpit is not the block that determine the direction of the grid.
