Ship controls lock up when using swarms.
I'm on a T-mobile note 5 using a moga power pro controller.
When bombing things with my rag or taur, be it a queen, crit skirm, leviathan, Deneb battles, or just another players trident, I lose control of my ship until the missiles hit. I mean I lose all throttle, steering, turbo, target selections, or ability to warp out until the missiles impact. Other players bombing in the same sector have no influence on it. My game doesn't lock up. I'm still flying forward and see other things flying around me normally. I receive hits just fine, and according to other players, my ship doesn't bounce around like I'm lagging. I just totally lose control of my ship. The same thing happens using my ipega controller as well. WiFi or cell connection doesn't seem to effect it either. Phone freshly restarted or been running for hours doesn't matter. Issue occurs with both locust and chaos swarms. Does not happen using stingrays. I'm not really sure what else I could change as a variable. I've tried reducing video settings with no effect as well.

Thanks for the report.
That's really weird.
Can anyone else reproduce this issue?

After further testing, i got the same lockup to occur with stingrays as well. It seems that tapping my fire buttons repetedly is causing it. IE 1.5 second delay between vollies but im tapping my fire button ~8 times in that interval. It seems that there may be a huge backlog of instructions hitting the game from this.
Do you have any plugins installed? If so try without any, and see if you still get the same issue. I play on a phone with a controller from time-to-time and have never noticed this happen.
If you find it works fine without plugins, try putting them back 1 by 1 to try determine which one is causing the issue. If you are running plugin free, then I have no idea.

Skytex: We tried duplicating this in-house, and could not create the problem. Like Yoda says, please try it without any plugins.
