I've done some experimentation with kinetics and it appears that units with Follow kinetics applied to them display an odd behavior: whenever the unit with the kinetic is facing between 270 and 360 degrees (in global rotation), it will slowly rotate clockwise until it no longer faces between 270 and 360 degrees, even if the caster of the kinetic remains idle. The rotation stacks on top of rotational transforms inherited from the caster of the kinetic, thus the relative rotation between the facing angles of the two units does not always remain the same as it was at the time the kinetic was applied.
This occurs even if the turning rate and stationary turning rate of the unit with the kinetic are set to 0.
I believe this is a bug, but I lack verification from others. I could find no previous mention of this on the site, and I hope perhaps someone could shed a little light on it.
