Drifting off alignment, moving in odd directions while orbiting, etc

For some reason since the last patch I am finding that multiple of my characters are randomly drifting in space, against orders. This is also happening with some other people in corp but not all of us.

Some examples of what i have seen in the last two days.


  • A character is orbiting a gate at 500m; randomly will start drifting in space with no commands issued to the client.
  • A character approaching a gate and stationary (holds last command once you reach there, ie if you are bumped it will go back to the gate), randomly will start drifting in the direction it was facing, off the gate.
  • While undocking from station in a pod, i hit CTRL + Space. instead of stopping, the character immediately did a 180 degree and was traveling back into the undock ramp at full speed with no acceleration.
  • A character aligning to an object from 250km+ will suddently start drifting off alignment but still in the general direction, preventing instawarp to the object.


With all this talk of the new movement in space controls... is it possible some of this leaked into production? This is since the last patch file. Or perhaps from the last patch "Fixed an issue causing clicks made below the speedometer to change speed."

So far i have been unable to replicate the cause of this.
