I think i broke Gravity

might be a "weirdness" due to referentials points of view... In the kerbocentric referential frame it might look like this, but it should be an ellipse in the munocentric referential frame... Try double-clicking the Mun to change point of view and see what the actual orbit looks like! (backspace to reset focus)

I bet on a highly eccentrical munar orbit

I don't. I bet on an eccentricity of almost exactly 1 - that would maximise the amount of time the craft spends in the Mun's SoI while still flying by it, which I'm pretty certain is the cause of these "spaghetti orbits".

What Conics mode are you in? I know 4 does some pretty weird stuff

Conics?

No idea

Anyway my Lander there is barely out of the muns orbit probably 0.1 m/s less and it would be an elliptical orbit around the mun.

Looks like the Lander grazes the gravity field of the mun further along and this was the result, nothing strange happened afterwards, it was like a mun flyby that lasted a few seconds then I was back in a kerbin orbit.

Tbh I think it was the kraken creating a new gravity field with its tentacles.
