Did a search, didn't see anything related so here's what happened.
I was piloting the assault ship (it was the enemy's if that has any relevance) and I was letting it float down so that someone below me could hop in. Well what they did was use the grapple to grab onto the ship and they reeled themselves up close enough so they could hop into one of the gunner positions. So we went over to harass the enemy base and everything was fine at that point but eventually the vehicle was killed and we both dropped out. But this is where the weird thing happened.
As the other guy moved, I got dragged along with him like I was grappled to him but there was no grapple in use. It wasn't there visually (and graphics were set high enough so it should have been visible so that's not it) but we could both feel the effect of it. We could play off the momentum that was transferred to get some speed up but we basically just stumbled around like a couple of prisoners trying to escape a chain gang. Eventually we both died (since we couldn't get that far away from each other the same shot killed us both) and everything was fine after respawning.
If I had to guess as to what was going on, I'd say that the grapple from when the guy initially went into the vehicle was still "active" even after the vehicle was dead and the link somehow drifted to me.
