Both seem to be at work in Eve. Clearly there seems to be a force a resistance similar to water when moving around. And our orientation in space is based on the systems basic orbit of its host star. ---

its annoying. when you got a enemy dead center in your crosshair and you reach optimal fire distance stopping your ship and beginning to fire and suddenly you are facing a totally different direction ---

Rumor has it that long ago…EVE Online was supposed to be a SUBMARINE GAME. The concept was scrapped in 2003 as Space Ships are far more interesting. The developers just haven’t gotten around to fixing it yet. ---
