The Kraken

[Bluejayek]

I have noticed that the kraken is not entirely dead in this version.

No, I am not talking about the Space Cthululu where your ship explodes xcoming out of warp, but rather the classic Kraken: Phantom forces on your ship when moving at high speed.

Specifically, when flying a ship consisting of a Mark I pod, 5 3200L tanks, and a nuclear engine very near the sun, I see a small version of the kraken. The forces are easily compensated by ASAS, but nonetheless they do still exist. Has anybody else noticed this?

I have to say though, it is MUCH better then 0.16. Sundives with large ships are now actually possible. Thanks squad

If you're using P-Warp, then it is an unavoidable side effect of doing so. Also, if the forces disappear when disabling ASAS, it'll just be the normal oscillation behaviour ASAS has exhibited for a long time.

The effect persists with time warp off, engine off, and ASAS off. Its definately the kraken.

This is happening when going very fast far from the sun as well, so it isn't something exclusive to sun dives.
