We cannot talk about what happens some time later. With current gameplay there is absolutely no need in Arccorp or in PU.

infact I have noticed that this porblem is less evident when I reduce Thrust
Well wish game development worked that way. Every part of the project has importance not just the one in front of you that is playable and the lore of a certain section of the PU universe is just as important because it reflects that area and adds life to it.
My point exactly right now to have a smooth experience you have to play very sensitively so that the thrusters don't do too strong maneuvers. The system just needs tweaking which a lot of people are hoping for in the next few patches.
Not everyone hates current gameplay
edit. should have written that i also don´t love all the gameplay what i see in videos. Just that it´s not all black and white.

So SC has made the majority of its cash by selling more powerful ships.
I have an Aurora only which makes me a little fish.
But I wonder why people have bought so much into the expensive ships. It could be as they have a load of cash and wish to put it somewhere and they love SC. For many that is it...
But I am guessing for many it is simply they want to be a big fish and blast the little fish with no problem. The issue with that is where does all that pay to be bigger end. After release people may be offered even bigger ships and bigger guns and no end of other pay to get more powerful and then all those that are big fish now will then become little fish to many others unless they spend even more cash.
So the logical conclusion I have is that unless you have a pile of money to hand SC because you really want to then cool, but if you are doing it to be the big fish then well you may eventually be left wanting...
Perhaps it is wise not to be wanting to be a big fish and happy to be little fish.

Yeah that´s probably 2-3 weeks away like CR said this week (i also agree with those who say that it was not smart decision to release original build without customizing option). We just have to wait (i know i know i sound like broken record).
Oh, I definitely see a lot of "improvements" implemented in the patch. The radar is still absolutely unreadable due to your ship being too large on the radar and occupies the largest part of the radar, enemies are as large so it is impossible to understand where the enemy is using the radar. And somehow I cannot see those "arcadey" arrows showing the direction of enemy anymore. So now I cannot even understand where my enemy is. Really nice CIG.
No, but the helmet animations are in. Much more important

Yep, definitely... how was it possible to even play without them?

As if the animators do flight tweaking...
Looks like different things progress differently. Like in any game. Like in ED, big things take more time.No, but the helmet animations are in. Much more important

It seems to me that CIG has big problems with priorities. Instead of fixing controls, which are the most important part of the game they think how to roll out MP. What is the sense of rolling out MP if you cannot play the game due to crappy controls?
As i mentioned before different parts are being worked on by different developers. Not every developer is in charge of enhancing or developing controls. Just as the animator who has the job of adding a helmet animation can't work on the controls...

Does not change a thing. There is little sense in these patches as long as the game is unplayable due to control issues. As well as the new patch clearly shows that CIG's QA department simply sucks all the time!
As i said i agree that it was stupid decision to release game without ability to customize controls.
Just a sign that it was not (and is not) ready.
Wow dude just because a patch didn't fix a part of the game that you are bothered by you saying their entire QA department simply sucks?
That's even worse than saying instead of working on the flight controls the helmet animation got added in.
Contrary to you i see many many people playing AC since weeks both on youtube and twitch. They seem to play it and have fun interesting how is that possible?
The largest problem is that IMO HOTAS has never been in QA department. It seems to me that no one has played with HOTAS at all as I have no explanations why throttle becomes inverted in decoupled mode and why it is always in forward only mode.
