Apparently so if it's attacking backwards.

Probably shouldn't matter, but observation is proof of effect.

What's it doing? Mooning the enemy?

I had somewhat similar problems with a ship with wide-set and very powerful thrusters as well. Incidentally it was also an ED209-derived hull configuration. I think I was able to fix the problem by flipping the last one or two thrusters on the outboard long stack to reverse position.

Generally a ship that inches forward just by wiggling the nose back and forth [Vandenberg Shuffle] will also tend to moon the enemy. You need a hair more reverse thrust and a bit less forward.

Not to be confused with my Megalodon. Mine's , , and made of solid armor.

Glad I could help you fix the mooning-the-enemy problem. New Rule of ship design: if it can Vandenberg Shuffle, it's likely it'll moon the enemy as well.

You need to export your ship from inside your game, go to edit it by hitting 3 and then select the ship you want. Then once you are inside the editor you can click export at the bottom left.

That will create a .lua file on your desktop which you can attach to your forum posts either by editing them or creating a new one and clicking Choose File, navigating to it, selecting it and then clicking add file once you've selected it.
