Shoutout rail shoots ships upwards and forwards and not only forwards, bug?

[dvdbot]

I've noticed when using the shootout rails the ships flies mostly up from the pickup rail instead of forward, because of this I'm not able to shoot a ship towards a warp gate or something because it cause up instead of only forward.

It also seems to happen sometimes when undocking from a rail block using logic.

See GIF for more on what happens.



I was trying to build a system to transfer docked entities from ship to ship, for example cargo transfer.

I noticed this the other day but I had set my drones to formation mode and this used to make this happen.

It could well be a bug or a way for the devs to break chain drives?

I just tested this myself using nothing more than a core, 3 pickup rails, and a shootrail at the end. Sure enough, every core+docker unit I set on this track shot out and up at a 45 degree angle....sigh
