Speaking of not atmo-dive, yeah I've noticed it seems to only happen in certain situations. I did some recent tests with a 300m/s ship flying between two planets in the same system. If I asked the crew to "orbit the planet" they seemed to be a bit suicidal. If I asked the crew to move to the closest station, they flew quite safely. Same tests with 900+ m/s engine and the issues were reduced quite a bit.
Now here is how you know it's something lag/de-sync related and is the actual issue. In Hazeron Starship, I have yet to atmo-dive after two or three thousand hours of play and I still have not atmo-dived yet even after in the single player.
It really could. Any kind of "aid" could be exploited. I was actually thinking more about this. QuakeIV, what if it was only on ships that had no players berthed? Pure AI crew only?
Or no invincibility but just give pure AI crews rapid stopping power? Because if the issue is actually lag/de-sync related it's going to be a very difficult issue to resolve.
