Known Issues:
Gameplay
** Gameplay divergence can cause situations where it appears like a ship is being hit but not taking damage, when the shots are actually missing the ship
** Weapon trail trajectories are inconsistent for targets that aren’t being looked at resulting in game divergence
** Weapons fire can appear offset from weapon muzzle when fired while moving
** Combustion Pistol cannot be equipped
** Entering or exiting a ship will cause other clients to see the character T-pose
** Characters rolling while prone are not seen by other clients
** Characters will sometimes fail to animate correctly when exiting the pilot seat after landing
** Character will occasionally spawn in as a pair of eyes
** Client crash may occur when pressing ‘x’ to respawn after the pilot is killed by flying into an asteroid
** Interacting with various elements of a lobby has a chance of causing a client crash for invited players
** Unable to exit the cockpit if one of a ship’s landing gear is missing
** Inverted controls do not work in default turret camera view
** Character will sometimes not have a head when viewed by other clients
** If two players enter a new public instance as a team for Capture the Core or Squadron Battle, they will be put on opposing teams

** The character’s hands will be broken when driving the buggy
** Ships will sometimes sink into landing platforms in Multiplayer Free Flight when using automatic landing
** Landing mode gimbal locks weapons to the direction the Look Reticle was pointing when landing mode was activated; deactivating Landing Mode will correct them
** The character is using the running animation instead of the floating Zero-G animation when a pistol is equipped
** Landing on the landing pad using Assisted landing will launch the player forward as soon as the landing gear hits the landing pad
** Occasionally the player will hear a banging in the ship whilst flying, whilst in third person view graphical glitches appear to the source
** Stretched polygons will sometimes occur in Dying Star after a short time in the map – possibly related to having an AMD CPU & GPU
** When strafing up to take off from a landing platform, ships will sometimes roll to the left or right as they strafe upwards
** There is sometimes a second or two pause when a ship is destroyed and/or respawns
** Ships will sometimes begin to teleport after a spawn pause

Ships
** All ships aside from the Hornet are missing ship trails when carrying a Core

** Weapons impacting shields are playing incorrect impact audio
** 300i, Avenger, and Hornet will sometimes tilt back when landing on landing platforms
** 300i, Hornet, M50, and Cutlass main thrusters are not animating during flight

** 300 variants (except the 350r) have three engine / thruster hardpoints, letting the player move the engine off center or attach three engines

** Look Reticle/Crosshair is sometimes missing upon respawn, cycling camera views will usually correct this
