When AI is killed, coins inherit players ship velocity. That means it moves aways from player. In my opinion, coin's velocity was intended to be inverted so it moves towards player, but it was overlooked in code. |

As my math teacher always used to say, check your signs. |

They shouldn't even use game physics to fly to the player – it's very unreliable. |

I think there were suggestions years ago to replace coins with bounties on AIs. Same way as bounties currently work, you would collect monies right after kill. |

Or like they do in Diablo 3 (and probably a lot of other games) where the coins just fly directly to the player without having to use the game physics. Right now they have inertia which is really difficult to program properly. |

I don't know what I'm remembering but I've definitely seen games where coins fly to you, they just don't restrict themselves to game physics. |

Bump, please fix. |

Warping to coins make them spray all over galaxy with max speed. Please fix this shit. |
