So I recently bought myself a Junker Salvager and immediately set out to test its' abilities..... there is something seriously wrong with the way it behaves in asteroid fields.

First off, flying into a mineable fragment whilst moving seems to cause it to divert its course in a random direction - and I'm not talking some small bump as you'd expect - it's as much as a 45+ angle diversion. Quite annoying if you're flying manually for whatever reason.

I suspect the issue may be the complicated shape of the ship, with all those arms jutting out, 'catching' these mineable fragments inside the ships' collision box and messing with the physics engine.

I've also noticed the ship is incapable of averting asteroids when on autopilot - much moreso than other ships of the same size (ie. my old Pirate Transport). It appears to not 'notice' asteroids until it's basically on top of them already.

Now, I had a look through the coding for this ship and I couldn't find anything which immediately raised a flag, so as I mentioned above I think it's either the model or collision box at fault.

It's very frustrating flying this thing through what it's meant to be the best at collecting, and I spent so much money on it.:(

I can't be the only one who's a bit miffed at the way this ship behaves?
