Speed and Drifting.

[GhothaAyala]

The Bug:

Speed is stuck on max (80 not cruise or thrust).
Pressing S slows down to 0.
Releasing S speeds back up to 80.
Z, the button to kill al thrust and allowing drift does not work.

Scrolling mouse wheel down sets the speed to 0, all effects above are reversed.
Pressing W speeds up to 80.
Releasing W slows back down to 0
Z still does not work.

Observations:

Afterburner, TAB works perfectly.
Cruise also works as intended, (F2, Go To). In this case Z just cancels cruise speed.
Ship is capable of variable speeds, as noticed while docking or moving in formations.

After logging out and back in I've not been able to reproduce this bug.

Butthurt comment:
I lost my first RP fight because of it. :<
(Like if I ever stood a chance anyway. xP)

Press X, then Z, then Thrust.

So far the bug description reminds me of "Go To" without cruise.

Yep. Having the Goto or Dock selected without cruise can do this. Having any control "stuck" can do this as well. I had this happen one time when a key I'd bound to roll right got physically stuck due to potato chip interference.

have had it sometimes too. with nothing stuck on a keyboard. But for me it solved by clicking something ingame.. then f2, f3 and then select free flight again. For some strange reason that always fixed it for me.

Indeed,the F2 or F3 method describe above always worked when my Engine Kill would suddenly stop working, I've been using it for a long time,actually.

Reminds me of that turret zoom bug when you can't zoom in steps anymore, and always get into full zoom when scrolling.

None of the above seems to work guys, I can't really say it happens because of having go to or dock, I've tried inducing it like that to no result.

Z, X, Thrust did nothing to fix it.

And assuming I did it right, clicking on stuff and then going into cruise and dock also did nothing.

Only them that seems to fix it is restarting the game which is a bad thing to do just before a fight or in the middle of something meaningful.

Doesn't happen on my Sair's only on the Freelancer, maybe something to do with the Raven's Talon?

Do you have a joystick or game pad connected to your computer perhaps? I had this once with an older joystick that had a throttle control, forgot it was connected...
