Why does my ship align to fictional spot?

If you are in a cloaked bomber and align to a spot and put "Full Stop" on your ship, why does your ship stop, and then align to some totally random spot in the universe?

I propose this be removed. Since bombs shoot out at the alignment you are facing, you must always be 'in motion' to shoot a bomb.

I don't even remember posting that 2 months ago...

I 100% appologize.

I know during one post a while back I crashed and then I couldn't log back in, but I am to blame.

Sorry for the double post - by me.

an oops woulda been sufficent. :)

And we supported the idea..might as well bump THAT one as opposed to this one.

There is no up or down in space. But a galaxy can have an up and down side. Maybe some guys and girls just decided that one way was up. And subsequently all stations were built around the idea that one side was up and the other was down.

The ships that were built followed this concept and even adapted to levelling to this imaginary planar. A sense of up and down makes things feel a little bit more natural for humanoids.

While you're right that there are ways around this problem, I agree with the OP that it's counter-intuitive that a stopped ship realigns instead of simply stopping.

The real issue is that a stopped ship realigns parallel to the galactic plane - straightening out, as it were.

If I had to guess, this is because of the way movement is handled in Eve. You literally do not have direction unless you are moving, so your ship's model returns to the default horizontal position.

What should happen is that the direction component of the last movment vector remains, leaving the model properly oriented, while the velocity component is reduced to 0.

+1 from me

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

For the love of god...there is another thread for this already posted by the same person that posted this one over a month ago. Use that thread...let this one die. This was established with the second post in the thread. READ before posting!

Thank you.
