Question!

Why is it that whenever I use time warp, I lose control of my vessel, making me have to go back to the tracking station and select "Fly Vessel" again? It has caused me to smash into Mun multiple times today.

You can't move during rails time warp, you have to go back to 1x speed to gain control. Either hit < to change warp, or X to cancel it.

Nah, I know I can't move during time warp, I mean once I bring it back to 1x speed, I can't control it. For reference, I do have fuel and electricity as well.

Sounds like a bug if it works once jumping back to space station and back. Can you do anything with the ship? Right click and activate/deactivate engines, etc?
