#682 Velocity anomalies

[Anonymous]

I turned on SPEC, the velocity was hanging from huge to zero etc, some times per second (maybe only if I started SPEC with zero ship's velocity). SPEC didn't work properly - turned on, SPEC didn't change ship's speed, only the number below current speed was increasing. SPEC start work properly after turning autopilot on, and after stopping the ship (backspace). In addition, ship was continuously increasing (near planet), wasting fuel, regardless of velocity control (+, -, backspace, etc.). I rather used travel mode. Finally the game crashed.

After stopping or just setting zero speed?
Huh.
Usually spontaneous changes to actual velocity (rather than warp rate) happen if you set reference to something that moves. In which case it's a good idea to reset the reference, or set it to the nearest base/planet.
