Hi,

Try the following:
Get into a BS, fit a MWD search for a Station and orbit it at 30.

after you get to full speed aktivate the MWD and watch hat ship change directions. Now wait till the ship is at full speed and deativate the MWD and watch the ship again change directions....

Please CCP fix that. I want to go faster in that direction and not to change it.

Thx in advace.

I agree the ship should not change direction ever when orbiting. To orbit an item means to go around it in a circle on a flat plane. It does not mean to move in one direction then do a 180 because of a speed change. It also does not mean to get a quarter of the way around and inexplicity turn 90 degrees and go flying off in a completely new direction. Finally it does not mean to fly around doing figure 8's in front of it. All of which now occurs.

For a while whenever i was doing missions w/ my bro while he had a phoon, he would orbit me, and consistently in the same part of his orbit, his ship would always do a 'backflip'...still not sure why that was programmed into the 'orbit' command.

But i agree, the orbit path should stay the same regardless of speed change (so long as the ship is manuverable enough to hold particular orbit distance at its given speed.

i filed a bug report some time ago. I hasn't yet been "filtered" yet

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value
