    SERVER NAME: not applicable
    SEED-ID: any

    Reproducibility: Yes
    Severity: Minor

    Type: SV flight model

    Summary: SV's steering becomes progressively lighter when cargo weight is increased. Expected behaviour would be getting heavier as load increased.

    Description: Any SV I build in game, with weights and volumes switched on, when I start loading up with cargo (20t of iron ore) the SV is much lighter to steer when empty. When SV is at its weight limit the steering is incredibly flighty and somewhat hard to control.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    >Start a single player Survival game with weights and measures on
    >Construct an SV (I used thrusters only for steering, no RCS blocks)
    > Use mouse to steer (pilot mode off)
    > Load up a large amount of heavy cargo, stone, ore, etc.
    > Use mouse to steer (pilot mode off)
    > Compare loaded/unloaded behaviour.

    Is there a specific ship you tested this with? Loading a controller can shift the center of mass of the ship in a way that allows the thrusters to generate more torque, which would make the ship turn better. Just want to verify that this behavior is more than that.

    Hello can you please attach a copy of the save game with your character left sat in the cockpit of the vessel ?
    How to attach a save game to a report:

    Go to:
    For SP
    SteamLibrary\steamapps\Common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Saves\Games
    1. Right click on the save folder & place your mouse cursor over 'Send to' create a compressed copy of it (or use winzip or 7zip)
    2. Drag & drop a copy in your reply box or use the upload a file option on the forum.
    3. If the folder is too large use a file hosting site like mediafire, dropbox or google drive & add a share link to it
    Thanks
