Trouble maintaining bearing with docked miner

Fallen Eternal shared this bug 16 hours ago

Welded up a copy of the bullfrog SM-31 and attached it to top of the Sledge. Every time I thrust forward or backward, the ship pivots up or down respectively so I cannot keep a bearing. Side or up/down thrust seems ok. If I sustain thrust the ship spins up or down and my view moves to a strange place in the cockpit. if I 'tap' the forward thrust and steer down, I can almost maintain bearing.

I turned off the gyros and thrusters on the attached miner, no difference. I reversed the direction of the miner, same effect. I grabbing the miner with the sledge instead of the other way around, same effect. Maybe this is expected from the new physics, but it seems strange.

Towed the miner direcly behind the sledge and the steering was a little sluggish but it worked closer to how I'd expect it to behave. So maybe this is just the new physics.

Nope. When get to 500 km/h forward, then turn on intertial dampeners, the ship spins like crazy. That should not happen since now the mass is linear it should have slowed linerarly.

This is the same issue i'm having and attaching to ships is how i first noticed it.

It applies to Any mass connected via landing gear or connectors.
