Static Platform vs. New Grid Identical Blueprint Affecting Drill Physics

Description:]Drills behave differently depending on whether a ship was originally built as a free-floating grid or spawned from a platform blueprint.


Reproduction Steps:

  1. Build a drill ship from a fresh grid in space.
  2. Test the drill on an asteroid—it works smoothly.
  3. Create a blueprint of the working drill ship ("Grid" blueprint name).
  4. Place the blueprint on a static platform and remove the linking block, converting it to a ship.
  5. Make a new blueprint of this ship (which now has "Platform" in the blueprint name).
  6. Spawn this new blueprint as a ship and test the drill.
  7. Observe jerky, strong drill physics when contacting an asteroid.

Expected Behavior:

  • The drill should behave the same regardless of whether the ship was initially a free-floating grid or spawned from a static platform.

Observed Behavior:

  • A ship built from a new grid drills smoothly.
  • A ship spawned from a platform-based blueprint exhibits strong, jerky physics when drilling.
