I've been trying to figure out why when you change orbit distantes whydoes your ship decide to do a 180 and change direction...
meaning you slow down and become vunrable to attacks that speed would normally 'shrug' off. kind of irratating when your in a frig and you need to get in closer to get under tracking and then you pop :/

I bug-reported this a few months ago. Was told "working as intended, not a bug".
I guess the reasoning is the same as with the AP not being able to wtz. ...

This. Learn to fly manually.

In a certain way, yes.

I always felt we should be able to choose our angle for orbit as well as orbit distance.

In what way? Can you elaborate more, please.

same thing happens when your propulsion mod turns on or off.
if you neut an orbiting speed ship, and his mwd turns off due to lack of cap...he slows down really quick, because he is actively decelerating.
Originally by: CCP Whisper No it is not an official statement. Not everything surrounded by blue bars is an official statement which can be quoted as fact until the end of time. Deal with it.

Just a matter of time for someone like you to post, I guess.
AP not doing WTZ: rewarding players actually playing the game when doing WTZ manually.
So you got he choice here, as well: play the game actively and avoid getting hit or suffer the consequences of beeing lazy.

This is not logical.
How is changing the orbit distance not playing the game actively?

Yes it is logical from a game balance PoV, if you actually cared to read. Having the game setting the correct angle for approaching a target to maximized transversial velocity on the click of a button is very much like having the game beeing played for you. All while you don't have to think or intervene in any way - instead of using RL player manual skills (as far as applicable in a game like Eve).
A good and experienced interceptor/tackle pilot should always be better than a noob pushing a button. simple as that.

Whether or not it is logical from a game balance PoV is irrelevant.
It was you comparison to using the autopilot that I find find illogical.

He meant in the way manually warping to 0 rewards you for being there, the orbit button mechanic rewards learning manual flying where aplicable (say in an interceptor you also don't just hit 'aproach' but spiral towards your target to keep your traversal high)

I flew the same 'ceptor for 11 months, during my stint as a merc. Had the orbit set to default 'primo' distance, but never did I do long approaches using merely the orbit. THAT is where manual piloting applies.
If you're already within 5km of your orbit anyways, just slap the button.
As for your original question, changing orbit giving you a new angle has been there since forever. Because Eve is not a sim, and your ship's computer is an idiot. Also, any change to speed (switching AB/MWD on or off, changing set speed within the dial, or getting hit with webs/scrams) will change your orbit.
