In Pure, it seems that the pivot point is at the nose which could just be a camera thing but, when you notice it, it feels like you're steering a tiny spot at the front of the craft and the rest is just swinging around to catch up, rather than feeling like you're steering the whole craft. The handling in Pure, for me, works well but the nose-lock is a little odd.

Having said that, I can't imagine they'll overhaul the physics for Pulse, given that Pure was so popular and messing with physics is a whole can of worms. Yes, I'd love the feel of 2097 back but I'd also be very happy with more of the same.
