Trains and large transports are docked but NOT docked

  • I experienced some weird behaviour of my train and also my large transport.


    ok.. they both can not handled by small stations, bases or planets without mooring. (thats already known)


    but the sentence 'your request to moore is granted, proceed to moore 5 sounds nice to me..
    the result of docking on altona station (hamburg) with a large transport is the following



    transport is docked, with hitting F1 I get the the options menu, which is also nice. but since Im obviously docked, I still can NOT buy or sell anything, since I dont get inside the station.
    besides.. I was able to dock on Bonn Station in NB including the option buying/selling or doing whatever in there.


    almost the same happend to my Soulforge Train in NY.


    since I figured, trains are able to dock on bigger stations, I was heading to trade a bit in order to get some money. (since I lost a few million, during the changing of the large transport including the removal of my turrets (10mio each, are GONE) :P


    I tried to dock at newark station in NY.


    the same picture appeared.



    the Train is docked.. I also get the options menu but I can not do anything, since the train is still outside the station. not buying or selling anything.


    in order to get the control back, I had to hit F1 .. selecting a new character and choosing the same char again. the time till the option for choosing a char comes available seems to be very long and in the meantime it tells.


    the requested whatever seems to need longer than expected. Hit Esc to cancel.


    finaly I get to choose the char I want to join the game with, and the Train shows back up in space in the position he had, before the docking procedure started.


    is this really supposed to be like that? or is there something wrong?


    any help or clarification from QUALIFIED users or even OP would be very apreciated :)


    ps:
    if this is really supposed to be like it currently is, then the last changes on the ships took away a lot of trading opportunities. (just my two cents)


    thanks in advance

  • i tested it yesterday morning with a large train and a large transporter


    my char went straight to the mooring point, and docked without probs
    (it of course takes some time for it to dock as it has to get extremly close to the station)
    and that is how it is supposed to be

    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.

  • if it last more than 1-2 minutes, you are stuck it what people might call a docking loop... and all you can do is open your main menu (F1)
    but otherwise... just give it a moment and it should load..! lag can be an issue to cause this.

    May the shwartz be with you!
    :D

  • as the mooring is not working atm and the trains currently use false settings for docking (since i disabled some stuff 2 hours ago) i really suggest not to use trains, transports and other capital ships until ive finished some tests and fixed the problems
