Thank you! I didn't know of this function.

Ah, the reticle. Yes that is an issue with pillar designs. You can manually change this by holding 'alt' and moving your mouse around. Down for moving the reticle down, left for left and so forth.

I usually do this for pillar ships, in the case of this line of ships I move it down and a bit to either side so I can still see my targets ahead of me when aiming.

This is unfortunately not something I as a build is in control of, so I can only tell you how I deal with it. The game certainly favours standard ship building and designs. Anything tall will have problems in this regard.

Hope it helps.

The handling is fine. I have no objection there.

The reticle according to the game is not where it should be (it's 1/2 above it) and therefore does not dock with the stations. Only this model has this problem. Everything else is great about the ship. I tried everything as I assumed it might be missing things after downloading etc but it kept showing the same behaviour.

When testing this ship I had no problems docking with stations, so not sure what that is about.

As for middle, are we talking center of mass? Or handling? Because the handling is as one would expect of a pillar design ship.

Cool ship, but can't dock stations. Also the midle of the ship is somewhere in nowhere leading to cluncky controls.

I, uhh... don't think you'll find many of my ships to your liking if you consider this poor >.>

beautiful ship, poor mobility

Beautiful compliment to your earlier designs, well done! :)
