Movement works perfectly, except for one direction

Question

I’ve set up a movement system that I use between my player character and an air-ship, which in godot is a CharacterBody3D.
its set to MotionMode Floating.
Now to my Problem, moving Forward/Back, Left/Right and Rotation is working perfectly, i can also float down but Up wont do a thing, despite the editor showing the velocity being changed correctly.
Any ideas on what i can do to fix this / might be doing wrong?

here’s the relevant Code:

extends CharacterBody3D

signal exitShip

const SPEED = 300
var shipMove: bool = false
#var input: Vector3
#var inputUi: Vector3
var shipMovement: Vector3

func _physics_process(delta):
#region MOVE n’ROTATE
if(shipMove == true):
var input_ui = Input.get_vector(“ui_down”, “ui_up”, “ui_left”, “ui_right”) #arrow keys
var input_dir = Input.get_vector(“up”, “down”, “right”, “left”) #WASD
var direction = (transform.basis * Vector3(input_dir.x, input_ui.x, input_dir.y)).normalized()
shipMovement = Vector3(direction.x, direction.y, direction.z)
print(direction)
rotation.y -= input_ui.y * delta * (5)

  if direction:
  	velocity = shipMovement * SPEED * delta
  else:
  	velocity = Vector3(0, 0, 0)
  print("x ", velocity.x)
  print("z ", velocity.z)
  print("y ", velocity.y)
  
  move_and_slide()

okay, as one could’ve expected…
the ship is colliding with the player preventing it from moving up…
not sure why this happens since the player physics are disabled and its parented to the ship when controlling the ship.

I’ll disable all collisions on the player when entering ship mode,
that should solve my issue
