Does "SweepCollideable(...)" not support OBB? I know const.h says SOLID_OBB is not implemented, but from what little I played with it, SweepCollideable seemed to correctly orient the entity's bounding box before doing the trace.
As far as VPhysics, what about using PhysShouldCollide( IPhysicsObject *pObj0, IPhysicsObject *pObj1 ) to catch physics collisions in the space ship entity to alert you that a collision is taking place and then override the response (return false, halt its velocity, and create opposing reaction force) to make things "less crazy?"

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] We are attempting to rewrite our prediction code in order to make collisions less crazy. We might just drop the idea at this point. As for custom physics, this is the implementation we currently have, however there is no way to trace a collideable at arbitrary angles, so its not possible to get accurate collisions without using VPhysics. So while we can write our own fully custom physics, we can't write any sort of predictable collision algorithm without making the space ships bounding boxes.
