Gyroscope and pitch/roll/yaw related issues
I'm not sure if this is a documented problem. I keep experiencing a bug related to gyroscopes and/or pitch/roll/yaw.

I've been playing the red ship survival start.

The red ship began to slowly pitch. It had two working gyroscopes. I ground them off and added a new one and the slow pitch stopped.

Next my astronaut view would pitch down and and look at my feet, or just pitch down continuously if floating. I would save/exit program and come back in to save and it would stop.

While yawing the red ship I heard some kind of sound, and the ship would not stop yawing. I left the command chair and the ship stopped yawing but I started yawing. Same as previous, exiting and reloading stopped this.

I have built several small ship miners with 25 drills plus 50 med cargo in both survival and creative mode. I have 3 gyroscopes on them and they respond quickly enough for their size.

pitch/yaw/roll do not work using the keyboard unless I am also using another type of thrust like forward/back/strafe/up/down.

mouse pitch/yaw seems to work fine, just slowly.

On my other small ships the keyboard pitch/yaw/roll work, but they are much smaller than the miners.
