For more information see here Bug Report Template Build: current as Monday night 12/22/2022 Mode: Mode: SERVER NAME: official server invader If applicable: MODIFIED PLAYFIELDS: Reproducibility: Severity: Type: Summary: Unmanned SV decided to flutter about the area. Description: So this bug was mind blowing, I'm parked on a planet with my SV, I placed a pentaxid tank in it and it started to shake. Stepping out to see what was moving it, it starts flittering about the landscape popping high up into the air then coming back down. I was pretty much staying around the general area but not making perfect circles, I chased it down and caught it when got close to the ground on one of it's passes and I was able to jetpack to it and get a p menu off to turn power off, it fluttered about for another 3-4 minutes before finally coming to a rest on the ground. My first guess was I had an admin messing with me, but it was flittering about so unnaturally, like a balloon to the whims of the air, that I dismissed the idea that I don't think anyone could make a ship dance like that. This was on the invader/defender official server late evening 12/22/22. It wasn't like it got hit and bouncing away from where it was hit by whatever, it would go up twirl around a bit, maybe start to lower, then change direction and go up some more then float back down. Ship was built from blue print of a freshly created SV creative bp I made this morning. I've never seen a ship do such a thing before even with lag you see it shift position a bit or settle a bit different, this was full possession and needing an exorcism level of flying around the area. MY character was not experiencing any noticeable lag, and world chat was responsive and no one else was complaining about anything else going on.
I originally posted this experience on the forums, here is feedback from another player regarding their experience with something similar: [5:03 PM]Insopor: I can all but confirm it's a bug from when you placed the pentaxid tank. It probably recalculated the geometry of the SV and then decided it was in the ground. I had the same thing happen a month ago when I docked to a CV. Whole thing just took off and floated away. [5:10 PM]globeadue: now that you mention that, I came back later, and all the plants and rocks in the area were floating up in the sky, didn't relate them at the time since I see that happen occasionally but makes the theory that the server thought ground level was up in the sky and was fighting my client to place the ship "above ground" or some such, I'll update my bug report with these notes
