Cannot Fly without Inertial Dampeners on

Hello there, one thing I have noticed is that while flying in a planets gravity, the gravity seems to be stronger on the ship(Or even the player) if Inertial dampeners are turned off.

I haven't tested it on another ship since I have only had my miner rig for a while. However even just the player, nothing in my inventory aside from my tools, if I turn off inertia dampeners and try to fly off the ground I cannot move at all as if the jet pack isn't providing enough thrust.


Now onto my Miners data. dry weight is about 45kg, and has three t2 hydrogen thrusters plus a few tier 1s to keep it aloft.

With its cargo containers empty without dampeners it can lift itself off the ground slower than with the dampeners on. I have mined enough ore to get her cargo to 50% capacity which puts her just over 100kg. With dampeners she is still a little sluggish but is able to keep herself aloft and airworthy. However of course if I turn off dampeners she is grounded.

V.39 same problem, the ship or jetpack don't have enough power to lift planet ground without dampener being ON.

I've had this too and personally I think it's keen trying to outsmart us. When you turn off the dampeners it uncaps yourspeed and lets you fly way faster on battery and without the stupid hydrogen boost. Maybe it is a bug where the jetpack just isn't set right to the gravity and what not, balance and stuff. But i wouldn't be surprised if it is just to try cap us, in which case is ridiculous cause i liked flying without dampeners. You can always have control over the fine adjustments and things and if people want to do it let them. More dangerous anyways it's their choice to risk flying without.
