Disable auto-dampeners when exit in the thrust configuration menu. (Press R on a thruster, or use the ship radial menu)
Why sit in your core? Give it a feature where you could set it too a speed and have it stay at that speed, even when you leave the core. Add to that a function where the engines on a ship with no active AI will shut off and the ship will be brought to a stop if there is no player within say 2 kilometers. That should make it pretty easy to get your ship back if you glitch out of it while it's moving, and unless said ship is a 1:1 scale replica of "Spaceball One", it should never go off while you're still on board.
Sometimes it still goes down even when auto-dampeners are off. Ive taken to putting a display module with the speed command displayed on it because of this. I have to say it adds a nice feel of RP though
Just for fun and to make it easier to maneuver small ships to dock/float around that dont have slow acceleration.
Does that also keep the speed boost from overdrive? not able to test it right now, but I will if I can get on soon.
This is not in the game. Being able to set the MAX power of thrusters in a given direction is not the same as the applied thrust. For small ships it can get a little silly to fly in a smaller space. I think that we need some level of throttle control but I feel it is something that will just happen naturally as the game progresses.
