So I am not sure if this is 100% a bug. I think that part of it is and part of it isn’t but I need help confirming what is happening. So while building the home planet I made it have a very dense atmosphere. So I tried reentry and it got some damage but not significant. The tanks were empty. It hit around 5 kilometers and then suddenly started going upwards. It doesn’t happen when there is fuel in it that I believe. Is it possible that the air is denser than the craft and the velocity isn’t displaying right? It says I am going down.

@Arstotzka not necessarily massless I mean. It things that are less dense will always try and go up. Same reason why hot air rises. So it is possible although I don’t think the game simulates that.

I tried to land a base on nebra, was successful but would go up during landing when I had chutes out, I do believe it is a bug,

@pedro16797 can this even happen? Does an extremely light craft float in atmospheric conditions on this game? I will test the planet without atmosphere to see if it still happens. I am trying to confirm what the problem actually is. So bare with me.

Yes. Like a blimp or hot air balloon. Theoretically a vacuum filled dirigible would float on a dense enough atmosphere like a boat on the water, and even an earth-atmosphere filled dirigible could float like a helium balloon in a dense enough atmosphere.
As far as the game goes, I'm not too sure what's going on. It might be some sort of atmospheric buoyancy simulation effect. It might just as likely be a water buoyancy effect bug where the game thinks your craft is underwater and rising to the surface despite in fact not being underwater
