for a short window of time, when a person docks or undocks from their cap or a station.. the capship can be rotated with any kind of weapons fire.. even rep beams.

so for example.. if im running from a swarm of arklans and i dock in my ship, their gat fire will rotate my cap ship around 45 to 90 degrees.

another example, if i undock from a station and begin firing rep beams (or anything) at my own ship immediately after the trigger delay ends, my ship will begin rotating.

if i undock from my capship, spin during the trigger delay and open up on my own ship with energy fire, it will also rotate as if repelled by the fire..

its only a limited time (2 to 3 seconds after docking/undocking anything) then the effect of fire returns to normal. it makes maintaining ship vectors quite difficult at times. its been my experience that weapons fire or even explosions dont rotate the ship much if at all, let alone to this extent.

edited to reflect rotation, not movement.
