Maneuverability. Any tips?
This game feels awful. It is like driving through a sea of molasses without a steering wheel. I am in the Republic of Ireland EU and all I hear on the voice comms are American accents. I am fairly ce...

@SD13_CAGE Yes, I see the AVIATOR button layout now. It would seem I was set on DEFAULT - so I'm presuming I have been at default all along. You made a very knowledgable analysis of a possible cause... but no the issue persists. I learned a lot about the AVIATOR thumstick error though - thank you! For my current issue...I tried giving myself more turning maneuverability via a more relevant LOADOUT by sacrificing my speed and engine power. So I just sit in one spot a shoot enemy vessels like a turrent gunner....until I a spotted just sitting in one spot!! :D I conclude the issue is definitely caused by local upload/download server-based ping rates. Connecting to the USA kills EU players. An EU player needs highend highspeed broadband to any way counter this ingame issue. I really need local server support for Ireland/UK.
FLYING THROUGH TREACLE!! Or flying underwater - not in a vacuum or gas - that is how this game FEELS. I get the developers wanted us to feel that delayed wobble motion as seen in the Trench Run in the original STAR WARS movie when any ship tries to target another... that as you tries to line up for a shot - the target has already moved away in the opposite direction!!! VERY VERY frustrating gameplay though on a console. I wish it could just find a target and shoot. NOT spend my time chasing moving targets about only to lose them because they are flying MUCH FASTER than I can line up for a shot. 🕹️

Just a heads up: the speed at which your ship turns heavily depends on your throttle setting. You turn the fastest when it is set at 50% throttle. 100% makes you turn slower. Sitting still however is the worst, you can barely turn at all.- @court_jester77x Thank you. Yes. I do try varying throttle settings yes. But strangely sitting still allows me more time to line up on a target and guess their track. There is much more chance of a hit!
