Inertial Dampeners cause Ships to Rubber Band while Connected

Tyler J McIntyre shared this bug 4 years ago
Outdated

I have a setup for my atmosphere mining ship that has it dock to a connector. If the engines are on the ship will literally shake itself apart. I lost one ship to this already. If you turn the inertial dampeners off the problem goes away. Looks like the ship keeps trying to pull away from the magnets in the connector while it's docked. The solution is to either quickly turn off the engines after docking then quickly undock after turning them on, or to get close and turn the dampeners off, and hope you can dock without gravity destroying your ship instead.


**IMPORTANT**

Is it possible one of the DLCs somehow introduced this? I've had this setup for days and everything worked fine, but I really like the game and decided to get the DLCs and instantly had a problem after installing.

Also happens with small grids that are attached to large rotors. But I'm not sure this is a bug, since grid does move and as result it tries to compensate. Perhaps grids that dock to something should have an option in controls to disengage dumpening?

Example: in 'Remote Control' instead of 'dampeners' checkbox use a dropbox (combobox) with options to 'turn off', 'off when docked to other grids', 'on'?
