Turning speed
As of v0.94 turning speed now depends on ship dimension. The turning speed per axis now depends on the dimensions of the Ship. This means if you build a long stick for example, you will have a good speed to look around, but less speed to roll. This means that the only logical way to build a ship is to create a pencil, as nobody cares about roll speed. This can now be offset with the new Thrust Customization feature [1] However, the pencil build is still mechanically the most optimal. [2] The maneuverability of the pencil design requires many ships to defeat it
This feature can be disabled in server.cfg by changing:
TURNING_DIMENSION_SCALE = 1.1
to:
TURNING_DIMENSION_SCALE = 0.0
Also, mass does still play a factor, but much much less than in older builds.
