Large grid ship loses altitude in gravity well when small ship is connected

How to replicate:

Attach a small ship to a large ship via connector/landing gear/magplate in a gravity well and turn of the thrusters on the small ship. The large ship will begin to lose altitude, and even rotate based on where the mass is located.

I believe this is a similar if not the same issue as the years old bug of subgrid drift because of inertial dampeners not taking into account the mass of connected grids.


The exact problem is also explained in this video by captain Robertson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoPMQv7VEjk


This makes an essential part of SE excedingly annoying since transporting your smaller vessels with your large ships is troublesome since you cant park them unless the thrusters of the small ship is kept on. Even then, the velocity gauge will still show some speed.
