Bug #4912
1.0.2.842 - Ships connected by docking ports/asteroid grabbers gain random accelerations
100%
Description
When flying a ship that has multiple docked or asteroid-grabbed parts, it slowly accelerates and shakes itself to pieces. This happens without any input and with SAS off. It takes a couple minutes, but after a while the pieces of the ship fall apart. This bug has been around since 0.90, it was not in 0.25.
I included a persistent.sfs with two ships that do this fall-apart when loaded.
Below are pictures of a ship before and after the shaking- it is connected by docking ports in a couple places.

Please retest in the latest build, claw issues should now all be resolved.

The ships in the save file still fall apart, but newly launched ships do not, both docking port and claw connections. I'm guessing something changed with the physics such that the old ship connections became invalid.
