When turning left and doing any shooting, launching, or going foreward, you can only do 2, so turning left and firing main wep, or turning left and using thrusters. You can use multiple with right, but not turning left.

Are you playing on a laptop? The problem is most likely a limitation of your keyboard.

I have the same exact problem, but using autohotkey to move the fire button to shift solves it nicely. I suspect the spacebar is somehow tied in with the left arrow key on the circuit board.

No, I'm not on a laptop, but I might try it with a different keyboard.

It is indeed a keyboard limitation in all likelyhood; I've had this problem on two laptops before.

You can test if it really is a keyboard problem here

Go for a full 'n-key rollover' capable keyboard, if you want to avoid such irritating situations. Razer Tarantula, Filco Majestouch, Steelseries 7G, Topre Realforce, and so on. SideWinder X4, Microsoft's latest keyboard, should also be an okay choice.
