[Bug] Pods with nose and tail cone, without fins, drives CP ridiculously forward #2291

Describe the bug

A user on our discord server posted a design featuring side pods having a nose cone, a body tube, and a tail cone that results in CP ridiculously far forward.

The .ork as posted just has the CP a little ways forward of what you might expect, but as you increase the radius of the pods the CP keeps moving forward to well ahead of the rocket.

If I create a "rocket" with just the parameters of the pods, I get a N/A for the CP. Maybe there's an "almost" divide-by-zero causing issues?

To Reproduce

Open the .ork and look at the CP
