I've found that when entering new skyways through the safe currents I can often be launched outside of the safe zone. Even if it's not a new skyway this still happens. If I pull out my map to make sure I'm going the right way and I happen to pass a turn in the current, my ship may very will be sent out into the monster infested skies. I've had several experiences where this happened and I haven't been able to dodge monster encounters every time. Every so often I can see the sparkles from entering and exiting the current while still in the middle of the current itself. It's a very annoying happening so I hope it's fixed soon.

Yea I have learned that the hard way. Whenever I want to check my map or start chatting with someone I now slap the space bar to stop my ship so I don't go careening of into dangerous sky's. Perhaps it is a link to the dangers of texting and driving?
