I think I posted this a long time back in beta, but it still warrants posting again, since I've not read any comments on it, and it's obviously not changed.
Ship flight needs to be graceful. Look at any ST footage of a ship turning in space, and you'll see they slowly accelerate in the direction they want to go, and then decelerate to stop. When they turn, then slowly turn faster, then back back the other way to slow their turn in that direction. I know the code supports this, since you can see it -very- slightly when ships turn. But instead of taking half a second to hit full bank, it should take one or two seconds. Yes, you can still make fast ships like the Defiant, but it doesn't have to jerk around like it does now. It'd make for a much more cinematic experience.
And yes, I know you have bigger fish to fry right now. But still, point to be made.
