ship "nods" as it is turning left or right?

When you say "nods" I assume you mean the front of the ship dipping "down" before beginning the turn? I believe this is due to the pathing algorithm trying to find the quickest way to get your ship from the direction it's currently pointing to the direction you've asked it to face.

 

I have had this happen on very large ships where the front dips "down" then the ship rolls "left"/"right" and finishes by bringing the front of the ship "up" to face the intended direction. This is due to the pitch thrusters/gyros being more powerful on your ship than the yaw thrusters/gyros. Therefore if the ship simply tried to use your yaw to turn left/right it would be slower. It's quicker to roll the ship and then use the pitch thrusters/gyros.

 

Be aware on very large ships this may cause you to hit other objects if you're not paying attention when the ship executes a "nod" turn.

figured it out, this ship was like 2/5 gyro, and 1/10 thrusters, so the thrusters and gyro were fighting over how to steer the ship, so i got rid of most of the gyros (now the ship is like 1/100 gyro and 1/5 thruster) and its got smoother turns now.
