So my kid was playing and while attempting to hijack a ship it took off into space. Once he killed the crew he was unable to fly the ship due to having too low of a level. Being overburdened he dumped all of his gear and then fast travelled back to his destination. About an hour later he returned to that planet and found the ship floating in space and when he boarded everything was floating like the power was off. Pretty cool for sure.
Just happened to me. Didn't notice going up. Did notice that "eh... why is there a planet out there...?" when I took over the cockpit.
Yeah I noticed that too was kind of cool, but how come we can't get to space that way normally haha
