Mass disappears when merging

Hello,

When I go mining, I take a miner ship (a ship with drill and some space for ores) and a Freighter (a ship with multiple cargo containers to hold the ore), and to save time I usually attach both ships using merge block to and from base.

I realise that when I load my Freighter with ores and then connect it with my miner, the combined mass of the grid (i.e. both ships now merged) becomes the sum of the ships while empty, instead of the empty mass of ships PLUS the mass of cargo inside. Put simply, the mass display is as if the Freighter was empty, when in fact I have 500k+ kg of iron ore inside.

Both ships recognises the mass of items placed inside their cargo container correctly when they are separate.

I hope this is something not reported before and fixed. I somewhat feel exploiting this cheat when I am hauling a lot of mass around and not being able to recognise the effort put in to design the propulsion system of my ships.
