Full of little quirks like this:

I felt certain this was going to be the issue where you're in orbit over the planet and suddenly your ship shrinks down to microscopic size.

think they are the same thing. basically instead of your viewpoint and the ship moving together, your viewpoint moves around as normal but the ship remains in place and you watch as you either dive into the atmosphere or you go zooming off to another world

Not the same. My viewpoint doesn't move from high orbit. The planet remains in position as a backdrop. It's exactly the same visual effect as when the ship flies away in other animations--the ship gets smaller at an ever-increasing speed, except the ship doesn't turn to show its exhaust as it flies away. It just shrinks. I'll see if I can capture it next time it happens. It didn't do this until after I got an SSD.
