Warp drive with ion engines: issues since upgrade to release 1.0


 1.8 years ago

Hi,

Since the upgrade to release 1 the heavy tinkered ion engines I ammused to have 2 problems:
- if thrust is too high, the carft spins without control and cannot maintain direction or lock
- if time warp is more than 2 even moderately tinkered ion engines make craft spin without control
Is there any new parameters to set to prevent the above ? Or are FTL flights definitely a past thing? Or is there any other solution now?

    @SamTheFox thanks for the answer but reducing throttle diminishes acceleration and hence the speed. And the fact that time warp cannot go beyond 2x hence reduces the chances to achieve desired speeds. Thos did not happen till release 0.9

    the ion engine must be very powerful, roughly enough to travel across the entire system in a short amount of time at full throttle

    the spinning can be reduced to a tolerable amount by, for the lack of a better word, flicking the throttle bar to 5% and back down to 0%
