The title of this bug is wrong. It should be: "Vibration caused by Hover jack a.k.a Magnetic Hever".
I think it is the right moment to fix this bug ;)
Or at least to improve the feature.
I would like to see:
- the oscillation of grabbed objects to be reduced
- objects to maintain a fixed position relative to the hover jack instead of the planet
- the energy consumption of the hover jack to be increased corresponding to the mass of the lifted object. Also a visual effect to show the force range and power consumption of the hover jack would be cool.
- the hover jack to have also a reaction force on it's side, just like the hover pads, to fulfill Newton's 3rd law of motion:

When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.

And some ponies for Andreas.
