Sent back to the last place docked after using F1

    Hi.


    I've recently encountered this "bug" (I am not sure if it is a bug at all) and I got sent back to the last station I docked (10 systems away) after using F1 in air (I was checking up on a wreck, tried gunning it, didn't drop as it's already been looted, logged out and left the game or changed to another character, I can't remember exactly which), and I also remember some other players having the same "bug" several (but not many) times over the few years I've played CF multiplayer

    so my question is:


    Is this a bug? If it's not a bug, what actions would lead to me being sent back to the last place docked?


    P.S. I wasn't in combat, unless shooting a white wreck counts as "combat"; already asked 1-2 GR - they didn't know the answer, so I'm lf someone who might know the answer to this problem here


    Thanks in advance,


    D

    does not sound like a bug

    Only dead fish swim with the stream.
    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,
    Twenty percent skill,
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

    happened today as well... when i logged in for the first time after 2 days, i got instant disconnect dialogue, closed FL, reopened the launcher, entered and i was again in the last place docked.


    i did have loot (1 blackbox) aboard all this time, does that have anything to do with this?

    not sure what happened, but when you logout when you are not docked, then your position might not get saved. And as long as your position is not changed and you are destroyed you are warped back to the last station where you docked.
    You might get killed by NPCs if you just logout in space. We have a timer that defines how long you need to finally logout - till this time elapses you might get killed.


    So any of that has probably happened to you.

    In order to avoid a similar situation I can advise the following:
    To logout in space after transition to any Jump Hole or Warp Gate (F1 and through the main menu), to wait about a minute and it is possible to come. It with bigger probability will be kept by Loot and your location.
    IMHO

    CF Chars: Valerich, Tr.Valerich, Valerich_VHF, Valerich_BS, Valerich_RS, Valerich_... etc

    Edited once, last by Valerich: it is added ().

    just side note: parking chars in space for sure is not a way how things should be done regularly. Players doing this for loot wrecks, escape rp situation or 'ambush' someone, or sw bcs rp is going on on other place (this are just examples) breaks server rules. Is good to have this in mind if you decide leave your character in space.

    I saw this happen, the message stated that you were killed by an npc. You then changed characters several times. I did not see exactly which system you were in, because of the changed of character, but it was one of Dom Kavash systems between Hyperspace and Gurm, because I had seen you in these systems prior to the incident. It was probably Mitra or Ptah, based on your last location I had seen.
