No control of ship after STF respawn

Noticed this prior to S7 too, but as I don't do many STFs it didn't bother me much. Now seeing it almost every respawn on Onslaught. When you respawn the ship will stay at an angle and go dead straight, you cannot slow it or steer it for up to 30 sec at least.

    I have this issue too. I do a lot of STFs, and it used to happen occasionally, but now it happens all the time. I can tell it's not just that my commands aren't getting through, because my ship doesn't always coast in a perfectly straight line; it kind of twitches to one side or the other like it's malfunctioning.

    Same problem here, happened right before I got one-shotted by a cube that doesn't do any more damage in S7 than it did in S6 :rolleyes:

    The current workaround for this is to target an enemy ship and then untarget it. This will let you regain control of your ship

    I've also had this problem, though it existed for me since before Season 7 launch.

    Hitting the 'escape' key once after respawn, clears this problem for me.

    I've had the same problem, in STFs as well as in PvP.

    It seems like what it's doing is setting me to 'follow' my current target. A couple of times I've actually ended up butted up against my target as a result of this. I'm not sure if that's the same thing that it's going for others, or not.

    I actually found it somewhat helpful in PvP, since I kind of suck at maneuvering and using skills at the same time (sad, I know).
    - LTS since shortly before the F2P announcement, and very happy about it.

    I worked around this by activating polarize hull and evasive maneuvers. VERY annoying.
