Behavior:
When you launch yourself onto your space platform, you can exit the rocket just before it gets accepted by the space platform hub, and as a result gain control of your engineer on the platform. While in this state, you cannot land, destroy the platform, or do anything except walk around as a result of having no items. You can then enter the hub like you would for another vehicle to repair your state.
Expected behavior:
I should not be able to exit the rocket at any point.
How to recreate:
Just before the hub animates to close around your rocket, hit your hotkey that you'd use to exit a vehicle. When timed properly, you should then be controlling your engineer on the platform. Too early and you don't exit, too late and you enter a satellite view that also prevents you from exiting. Once you're looking to do it it's not difficult to time in my experience.
I did this on accident my first time launching to the platform, and found this state extremely confusing. It also strikes me as a bug, because it appears as though there are mechanisms to stop you from exiting the hub after you are fully accepted and landed onto the platform without intervention.
This streamable link has a recording of me demonstrating this.

Can I ask for revert? This feature(bug) it unintended but similar to that you can jump into the car in original game when rocket launches.
