OK, I've tried to go on BC again (which is kind've a rare event nowadays), but whenever I go on it there always seems to be some problem or annoyance that puts me off playing BC for any longer than 10 minutes.
Today I felt like fighting the Klingons, so I got a 'straggle' of Fed ships vs. a bunch of Klingon ships...*thinking* they weren't supposed to be cowards, so I would get a good fight from them!
What I ended up doing, is spending most of the time playing "catch-up" with them, trying to keep within weapons-lock - and I was the Defiant of all ships! The battle always seems to be fought over huge distances for some reason.
(Secondly, on an off-topic note, I didn't realise how weak the Galaxy class is against a few Birds of Prey, a Vorcha class and a couple of others - and that was *with* help from my fleet of about 5 medium/average-range ships)
So next I decided to fight the Romulans - I thought that if I picked bigger ships, at least they should be big enough to see/hit, especially the Warbirds!
But they were even WORSE! I didn't even get the chance to fire a single hit on them; they seem to have a suicidal urge to lunge themselves at the fastest possible speed towards the nearest star!
These are the sort of "battles" I seem to be having (Using Kobayashi Maru btw) - a battle to keep up with them!

Go to your mutators and deactivate GravityFX. Based on your picture the ships are being pulled into the sun/s.

Aaaah, I'll have to try that - thanks alot.
But why isn't my ship affected? As you can see, my speed is 0 kph.

I think its cos technically your ship isn't moving of its own accord. BC is very odd as well as old so I don't really pretend to understand it. There is a very good chance what I've suggested is completely wrong.

If you disable your station keeping thrusters in the gravityfx menu you'll find you get pulled in too.

try fighting in systems without huge stars. If you don't turn GFx off completely, turn down the gravity. I've found that it can be a very fun utility to use, but if it's not set right, that kinda thing might happen.
