Aquila instability with small craft docked to it.

After completing a mission I docked the small fighter to a connector I created on top of the Aquila (see picture). Aquila is 250 t, small craft is 16 t. The small craft is completely powered down (confirmed in the control panel with all blocks showing red bar).


Simply rotating the Aquila using the mouse (gyroscope) side jets all fire and move the ship significantly sideways with a high fuel use. Even when controls are left idle the H2 level in the Aquila is going down and simply turning the ship uses up a lot of H2.


Simply turning a ship with gyroscopes shouldn't fire jets at all (even with dampeners on) and an off-center mass may cause a change in center of gravity around which the ship rotates the ship should not make significant movement changes.


To repeat: simply dock a small craft to the Aquila. Turn off power to the small craft. Then simply turn the Aquila with the mouse with dampeners on.
