The main problem of all student pilots, both real and simulated, is over controlling.
It sounds like that's a big part of your problem based on your description. I suggest you consciously apply a lighter hand.
Your enemy is pilot induced oscillation which is tipping your ship too far, then over correcting to throw it further in the opposite direction, followed by over correcting further, followed by a crash. Start by not tipping so far in the first place, then consciously stop your corrective control right before your ship passes through the recovery attitude. Most beginners hold full opposite control until well after the ship has recovered, causing a panic response to fix the new emergency. |

So your problem is definately over controlling. You are holding control input well after you ship has been placed in an attitude to move how you want, so when it does start moving its now headed right into the ground.
Try to consciously anticipate what your ship will do once it overcomes inertia and neutralize the sticks much earlier.

Not crashing nearly as much able to avoid buildings and make course corrections. Just wish people would stop shooting me. Clearly my guns aren't pew pewing so leave me alone :P
I know the frustration. I was practicing deep in my redline when some jerk ran up and hacked a blue turret right on our line which proceeded to cost me an ADS.
I strongly suggest you play around with both the "Lunar Lander" and "Asteroids" games in your web browser.
Both of them will train your reflexes ISK free, and the latter will give you practice in evading RDVs. Just picture each asteroid as a drunken RDV and you will get a feel for the start of each match. |
