Broken graphics make the game unplayable!

Dear NafFdev,

As you will clearly see from this image below the words I am typing, the level of graphical infidelity has reached immersion-breaking levels of ineptitudinous rediculicity!

Yes I know! Shocking, is it not?!?!

I am somehow expected to believe that this happy little planetoid is going to toddle along its orbit, in a completely straght line, for another couple of miles, or whatever, and then suddenly and without warning, take a sharp right without even bothering to indicate to any following traffic its intention to do so!

I will have you know that I am no slouch when it comes to the intricate workings of physics, having tripped over my own foot several times in the past and fallen, predictably, to the ground on each and every occasion! I have also taken the liberty of conferring with a notable expert on the subject, in this case, my cat, and we have found ourselves in total and unequivicabubble agreement that orbits should be roundly curved in a disculous and circularatory fashion.

This will not stand, I tell you! Absolutlely NOT STAND!!!!

I have forthwith started uninstallation proceedings, with the full and unintelligible intention to take this matter further. YES! I will be writing a formal letter of complaintinous and accusatory drivel to my MP! Furthermore, I will be closing my Steam account, seliing my PC, cancelling the internet and disowning my own children!!! I expect that, under the obviously embarrassing circumstances, the so-called Mr Braben will be returning his clearly undeserved O B E Kenobi, and letting her gracious majestical see that it is recycled over to someone more deserving of its honourousness!

All those in favour of an end to this kind of nonsense can haz all ma stuff!!!

Yours incadescently,

Generally speaking if you feel that strongly you should also threaten to cancel your subscription to something. Often it’s “Private Eye” but any rag will do. Or write to your MP.

Perhaps do both?
 
Wipe your drive multiple times with a government-grade data scrubbing program. Boot and Nuke it, it's the only way to be sure...
 
Speaking as someone who has never played with "Orbital Lines" turned on due to how it destroys any sense of realism, I have no idea what the OP is ranting on about. :S

Are they saying that they are incapable of making a proper approach to a planet or station unless they have this "Training Wheel" feature turned on? And now for some reason, the Training Wheels have partially come off the ship?

My advice would be to turn that garbage off and use common sense instead. :)

My advice would be to follow Mark Twain's advice.

Unbearable! But did you check if it's not your glasses?
 
But are those orbit lines just an approximation for display in the HUD ? - In which case that could be accurately simulating the software for the HUD of the ship.
Or is that the actual path that the planets/moons take ?
If it's the former, that's genius, if it's the latter, I rage quit... ;) (well until tonight, most likely).
 
Unplayable for the planetoid. Imagine you're a happy little planetoid toddling along your orbit, as you say. And suddenly you have to take a sharp right angled turn. If I were the plantoid, I'd flee immediately to Star Citizen, where planetoids are treated better. Allegedly!
