With flight assist off you do maintain your momentum. That's kinda the point.
There is a fix for this as I had exactly the same problem its to do with port forwarding on your router......raise a support ticket and they will sort it out but require some additional info about your router....
Sort of, if you turn flight assist off while boosting it seems to only retain about half of your "boost momentum" for some reason. For example, if your normal top speed is around 200 and you can boost to around 400, if you turn off flight assist off while boosting your velocity will still decay to around 300 even though in terms of physics it has no reason to.
It does still allow you to retain more than you would otherwise though.
I've been asking this. Too realistic for this game IMO.
Actually in the real world, that is precisely what it would do. Just keep sailing along at whatever speed it was traveling when the engine was taken out.
With our recent Pluto probe, the reason we didn't do an orbit insertion mission instead of a flyby was because of all the additional fuel that would have been required to SLOW the ship down enough to attempt an orbit insertion maneuver. Much easier and cheaper to just fly by the target and then keep right on going out into eventually, "interstellar space"!Cheers for the info CMDR, but this is not a fix. Ive tried this method already (pointed out to me by a couple of other people) it didn't work for me at all, with a couple of others it worked once or twice then stopped, and for others it's worked. Its more of a workaround that "may" work.
I have already sent off a ticket regarding this issue with the relevant information they required, start of June that was, with a reply "we're looking into it".......August tomorrow, be nice to hear some sort of information 2 months on imo.
I've noticed this as well. Only happens with npc Vipers, sometimes it takes 5- 8 mins to catch one using 4 pips to engines and thrust whenever it's available, and that's using an A-grade FDL. Something is wrong here.

So, umm, do I have this right?
1. 1 merit for killing in 'strike zone, sweep zone, etc' to support expansion.
2. 5 Merit for killing in enemy system for, say, undermining.
3. 0 Merit for killing a 'hostile' enemy PP ship that interdicts you outside of your PP territory.
4. 30 Merit for killing where?
Am I missing any?
I am just trying to figure out the x merits for killing in y situation part. I understand fortifying/prepping.

I also noticed that with some, not all, Cobras. This definitely happens frequently with Vipers. They go into a flat spin over 404 km, because my FDL is boosting 404 and unable to catch up.
All I want to know is if these "hot fixes" will hit Xbox when 1.4 drops. Can't wait to actually be able to farm a military strike. Plan on hitting rating 5 in a matter of a few days, right now it is an absolute struggle to increase ratings without getting a massive bounty in that system xD
Nice one.
