I have been playing with two new ships.  That massive Apocalypse beta (20km) and another one slightly larger than the Orion (4km ish)

Both of them have obscenely powerful weapons.  Every time (at least it seems to be then)  it wobbles.  As in it travels nicely forward then as it fires a beam weapon in wobbles at the front, in the case of the 20 km ship, it wobbles at the front about 2 km up and down, quite quickly which looks stupid.  The same also happens in with the other 4 ish km ship.  Is it because the weapons on it are too powerful.  On both ships they are VERY powerful, or are they travelling too fast?  20 - 25?

I need help!
Thanks

When you give large Capships the attack order, they frequently start into this "jitterbug" effect. The trick is to use SEXP tricks so that the ships never use the Attack order for more than a second or two, and the rest of the time either follow waypoints or use the Stay Still AI Goal.
Beam-fire is also very useful for scripting capship movement.
