Atmospheric ships with a subgrid wont hover with interia dampners enabled
Submitted
ive built atmo miner with subgrid drills wont stay in the air without manual control
if i press space, the ship will ascend so it does have enough thrust, and if i disconnect the subgrid, it does hover successfully, so i suspect the dampners are not including the subgrids mass in calculating how much thrust is required
here is the steam workshop link

(fyi, the ship is only a test bed, so please dont judge me on the looks/layout of most of the ship, i just wanted to make sure it could fly before i continued to design it and i noticed this problem)
I have the same bug You can't vote. Please authorize!
I encountered the same problem, and in addition the ship is very difficult to fly and is very unbalanced. The thrust seems to be applied to the center of mass of the ship only (without subgrids).

This is the same in space. It shouldn't matter how a subgrid is attached, as long as the thrust is applied evenly to a grid regardless of actual thruster placement. If you magnetically, landing gear or connector connect a subgrid to a ship, it's mass should accelerate and turn as though it's a part of the main grid. If they implement unbalanced thrust where you need to place thrust in the center of mass to accelerate in a straight line, then subgrids certainly should be calculated in that.

The ship I was testing was my vertical miner (see attached image). Since the rotating part with the drills is at a great distance from the ship center, the ship is barely flyable.
