Is there a way to make a shieldless ship more stabile, when she is under attack?

Stable how? Stable as in, ship won't rock when you get shot, or stable as in, ship flies into you and knocks you around even though its a fighter and you're flying the Osiris? Cuz if it's the first one, I'd like to know that myself. And if it's the second? Adjust the three handling stats (angular drag/torque/all that crap I can't remember) by adding a few zeros on the end. Here's what mine looks like, and I'm piloting a HUGE arse battlehip:
steering_torque = 500000000.000000, 500000000.000000, 500000000.000000
angular_drag = 1300000000.000000, 1300000000.000000, 1300000000.000000
rotation_inertia = 200000000.000000, 200000000.000000, 200000000.000000
You may need to adjust the strafe_force to compensate, but I'm not sure. I do it for good measure.
I really do hope someone finds out how to make it not shake so damn much. What are these stats, in case anyone knows and is paying attention to this post:
surface_hit_effects = 0, small_hull_hit_light01, small_hull_hit_light02, small_hull_hit_light03
surface_hit_effects = 150, small_hull_hit_medium01, small_hull_hit_medium02, small_hull_hit_medium03
surface_hit_effects = 300, small_hull_hit_heavy01, small_hull_hit_heavy02, small_hull_hit_heavy03

Gaphical effects mostly unless i miss my guess.

I've ment the first thing. It's primarily problem of battleships, which are huge and slow, and can't have mounted shield. Dreadnought and Luxury Liner are smaller, but with Rheinland Battleship...

Also when a tiny fighter knocks into you and you are in a massive battleship you are sent flying ages and facing another direction. That realy gets on my nerves because i end up killing the thing that knocked into me. We all want to be able to fly through manhattan, without some angry police chasing you half of the way.

Try to fly in an asteroid field with my usual cruising speed 600...

DarkRevolution: Change your handling settings to the ones I provided, or if you enjoy the handling your ship has, just add a couple zeros to the end of every number .
And what do you mean, Caid? My battleship has shields. Though I don't want them too powerful, and it bothers me when little blasts rock my ship like it's 1999. Does anyone know how to change this?

That's the thing I want to know...
