I noticed that when you try to orbit something with MWD on, your ship will orbit the target clockwise, while with MWD off you'll orbit anti clockwise.
So that means that if you turn off (or on) your mwd while orbiting, you will be still for a second, that could mean you will lose you ship.
Is that intended or it is a bug of the orbit routine?
You could of course orbit manually and solve the problem, but why would one write the code for this feature in this strange way?

Edited by: Camios on 24/10/2009 13:26:49 Correction: it does not always happen. It is quite unpredictable.
The fact is that when you issue the orbit command it does not care about what flight path you were on, so you could get stopped issuing the orbit command (it could happen or not).
And the orbit plane could be different if you fly with MWD on or off.
That is in my opinion a very silly thing.

nope. if you are going one direction with orbiting, stop ship and hit orbit again, you will be going in the opposite direction. |

That is strange, isn't it? And it means that the orbit command is a feature with strange and unpredictable behaviour, that in my opinion could be programmed better.

Yeah I've noticed this many times, does the same with AB. Orbiting with AB off, turn AB on, ship decides it would be an awesome idea to pull a 180 and start orbiting the other way.

It sounds like turning on your MWD or AB is recognized as the ship starting a completely new orbit.

This ^ if you think about it, when you slam your AB/MWD on when your orbiting at 1000m, your speed and agility must tell the orbit to adapt too the new speed, therefore new orbit.
Unsure if thats right

Actually if you use the orbit command, you shouldn't even dare to change your ship's speed. Any change of speed (including turning on or off AB / MWD) will change the relative angle of the orbit you are doing around an object.
I'm not an interceptor pilot, but I heard that it requires a lot of attention while flying. That leads me to believe that good interceptor pilots control their ships manually by clicking in the direction they want to fly.

What is sad about this is that most players are going to spend insane amounts of effort whining on the forum until this gets "fixed" and nobody is going to spend half that effort learning to orbit manually.

Clockwise and counter-clockwise... IN SPACE!
