For the love of god please fix this already.

Problem: It is possible to make ship alter direction after jump animation starts (in ways not possible via normal flight controls, i.e. inertia-less trajectory alteration)

Solution: Stop it from happening.

err... you got any footage of this? I'm not sure what this is...

The problem is characterized by a sudden shift in trajectory that is not possible via normal flight controls / physics, and it occurs AFTER the jump animation initiates. It happens quite often when people are running away from pursuers.

I don't have any footage but it's been happening regularly for at least a couple years now and it's annoying as fuck.

This sounds more like a bug, which should probably be reported as a bug with more information.

I'll move this to Bugs before long..

Player jumps then after effects start they turn direction as they jump basically I've seen this happen

(Still not in bugs section inc!) Also yah its pretty easy i abuse it a lot more than i like to say. Right before you warp under a second look away and turbo, you war going forwards and drifting at a awkward angle fast.
