It's one of the bugs people have been trying to solve for six years. Thomsen's Ships mod goes a way toward fixing it, but it has never been truly solved.
Heh. Struggled with that a long time and gave up. I was very relieved later to learn that it was a bug.

Probably the first thing we should warn new players about.
