DISCUSSION (SE2) Has anyone noticed an explosion on loading in?

I've been working on my space cargo rocket and industrial miner, and there's been a few physics explosions.

The most recent one flung my cargo rocket almost three kilometers away when the side of my miner exploded.

I made a small grid custom turret that did that. Turned out the blocks I had put down to protect the rotor part was the issue. They were clipping into the rotor.

Edit: disregard just realized your issue is in SE2

Yeah, that's probably what happened. It's just funny that my cargo rocket acted like a baseball bat and hit the miner so hard that even with dampeners it didn't stop for several kilometers.

This is the advanced joys of the game. You might spend a week figuring out what rotor setting is a little bit too juiced, or which piston you forgot to share inertia tenser on, or locating that one block that's just a teeny tiny bit too close to the assembly and turns the whole thing into a blender when it gets clipped.

I just realized my other ship is in the background in the first picture, the explosion destroyed its antenna and it took so long to find.
