[Ships] Longhorn dies to certain planets in autopilot

[MasterL410]

Type: Ships/Systems?
Bug: When the Longhorn tries to go around some planets in auto-pilot, it can not slow down fast enough and crashes into the atmosphere.

Reproduction Steps:

• Own a longhorn frigate-thingy
  
• Choose to dock/go-to to e.g. a Mooring Fixture of a planet. But your ship is on the side or behind the planet, not in a straight line.
  
• Your ship will cruise up fast, then slow down, crash into the atmosphere, start exploding and only then make the turn. You die.
  

Additional Information: This was tested undocking from Rhodes Shipyard and then choosing to dock on Planet Crete. But I am sure there are several other planets where this will happen too.

Same happens with suns (for example red dwarfs). Succesfully tested incidentally.

[Lord Caedus]

This is because it has a ton of mass and moves very fast. this is not really a bug, but more a peculiarity of the ship.

Don't F2 and then go AFK.
Problem solved.

Capital ships have been dying to autopilot for a year now. Adding mass causes this. There is an argument to be made that you shouldn't afk when flying through a planet, but the autopilot should still not kill you. I'll mark it as work in progress, it's not a simple fix or we'd have done it by now. We have some ideas how to address it.
