Launching from Hopkins Port, Wolf 562 System, ship sticks in reverse, no forward drive, crashes around the port until destroyed, a half a million creds glitch...ouch!
Main menu>options>controls and check which is the keybind for reverse than go in game and strike that key soon after taking off. Maybe you stroke it before and did not repair about it.
It happened to me with rotational control inside stations. Soon after taking off everything started spinning and I didn't know what to do until I found the correct key to switch it on again.
Might be similar to a bug I had about a day ago when I was stuck accelerating and could not engage reverse. I had to unplug my controller and plug it back in.
Whilst on the subject of creds, I can't for the life of me get anywhere close to making 1 mil an hour as many have suggested on these forums. I'm lucky to make a mil on a days graft! Am i missing something?
Research an imperial slave trading route, one where you're doing just one jump. The last one I ran was what I consider an average route and I was making 3mil an hour. Convenient for the area I was operating in at the time.
There are higher paying routes out there, but you need to travel around and do more research.
