Occasionally, speed indicator climbs and climbs, but ship goes nowhere #338

@BenjamenMeyer captured this phenomenon here: https://youtu.be/dD2Ev-hVD-Y I have also encountered it.

I never seemed to be able to get the speed down to zero. Couldn't figure out a retro burn either - I know I tried.

In most cases stopping the engines will reduce speed to zero without issue. Will provide more details on the video when I'm at a computer instead of my phone.

This might be a dumb question, but: Does this just happen when the ship runs out of fuel?

BenjamenMeyer commented 3 years ago

@stephengtuggy I don't think I was out of fuel at least. But could potentially be a factor, especially if what is displayed disagrees with what's under the hood

This might be related to #105

hmm... ran into this again; I was out of fuel. Looking at how fuel is consumed there's too many places. We need to simplify this; unfortunately that probably means it won't get solved until 0.10.x.

I think this might be somewhat linked to the loss of some of the movement. Playing today I noticed the autopilot get stuck trying to turn, only the game had loss the ability to turn left/right for some reason; rolling and moving to realign the ship on the target fixed it, but the autopilot was going nuts.
