Phantom hydrogen consumption
I'm on Kemik, flying back to Dustspire Junction, running low on hydrogen. I'm over the pad when I run out. I hit P but the connector ports don't line up (I have landing gear that locks first). I go inside and trade some loot for 1500 kg of ice. Walk back to the ship and drop it in a cargo container. I climb back into the cockpit and see that I now have 6% in the tank.
Now, before I hit P again, I watch the tank drop to 0%. The ship is parked. The brake icon is lit up.
Where did my hydrogen go?
I go back and buy some more ice. Return to the ship, unpark,. turn off all thrusters, park and drop the ice in the cargo container. Back into the cockpit to see I now have tanks at 9%. I turn off park, turn the thrusters back on, and consumption is back to normal.
So, turning on park with empty tanks and hydrogen thrusters on sets consumption to some monstrous value rather than to the expected idle rate for connected thrusters. I say monstrous because the hydrogen disappeared faster than when running at maximum acceleration.
Please fix this when you get a chance.

I have the same bug
I think I have the same issue. Or different. But here it is:
Big ship in space, hydrogen tanks in Auto, Dampeners OFF, all Hydrogen Thrusters OFF. Hydrogen tank leaks hydrogen by ~19/s
If I undock, all small crafts docked to this big one, problem disapears.
If I switch off all thursters and dampeners on small craft, problem disapears. (important thursters have to be off, but this did not help somtimes, had to swtich off dampeners also).
Switching power supply of docked ships dose not help.
So in my opinion, it looks like game is calculating a thrust to counteract a subgrid. But Subgrid has all thrust off (power off) and main grid also has thrust off (thrusters off) so it just uses hydrogen anyway.
So saying it in another words: A phantom action from a subgrid is counterreacted by a phantom action from a main grid resulting in real hydrogen consumption :D
