DN Trade line behavior

  • Since there is no "Ticket System" yet (obvious to me at least :threeeyes: ) I put that here in "public".


    Encountered a somewhat annoying behavior of a DN (Inquisitor) regarding Trade Line docking by autopilot.
    Somehow the autopilots "aiming" is "offset" as might be seen here
    [xattach=4668][/xattach] and here [xattach=4669][/xattach]
    and then the Trade Line doesn't "initiate".
    It happens also even if I'm "properly" aligned from about 5-6 k away (like "targeting" the Trade Line from the one before,
    where I got stuck.) This happens also on the Sol s as well as on the Coalition Trade lines
    [xattach=4670][/xattach]
    even though to a lesser extend there.


    Curiosly it happens to a much lesser extend when fyling in Cockpit view
    [xattach=4671][/xattach]
    WITH autopilot engaded.
    (If I got stuck in this mode, then mostly not in flying autopilot, so then error of my helmsman in proper aliging and in time
    initiation of Trade Line sequence ^^ )


    This disalignment NEVER happens with Jump Gates or Jump Holes.(Only when "hit" by some incompetent civilian or other npc :P )


    Perhaps due to "offset" of dockpoints on the ships model :?:
    Do different Trade Lines use different dockpoints :?:
    Do Jump Gates use different dockpoints :?:


    (Haven't tested it on other DN or BS due to "financial reasons" ^^ . ... YET :D )

    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!

  • TY, missed somehow.

  • It is common trouble with docking battleships/dreadnoughts ... on some places is dock on 1st TL real pain. Autopilot is mostly useless here, 3rd person view (and sometimes turret) + experience is the best way how to dock in reasonable time on TL in 9/10 cases. For BS/DR with wider front profile it is worse as for these which have "smaller" circle profile.

  • Technically, it got some technique how to dock with the TL. As for me, this is how i do... will try to explain it somehow below.. hopefully you can understand it..


    i always use cockpit view
    now, let say approaching the TL from several angle with free flight mode...


    TL at bottom left - position your DN a bit to the below and left of the TL face
    TL at bottom center - position your DN below a bit of the TL face
    TL at bottom right - position your DN a bit to the below and right of the TL face
    TL at upper left - position your DN a bit to the up and left of the TL face
    TL at upper center - position your DN up a bit of the TL face
    TL at upper right - position your DN a bit to the up and right of the TL face


    engage dock when you're about 200 distance from the TL face...


    DONT UNDERSTAND.... ????
    practise practise and practise.... hehehehehe...

  • Yes, practice and STRAFE, so you hit TL dock straight. DN/BS are very good at strafe.
    Distance to Tl should be greater then 2k, otherwise it will be hard.
    Tip: If you miss the 1st TL, don't bother to try again. Just aim at next TL and navigate to the right position to dock (I use same techniquie with Train).

  • Unfortunatly DNs are unable of "engine kill" and lack Thrusters.
    Would make "aiming" whit STRAFE easier - at least for me due to
    considerable "Train"-training ^^ .


    And I am with The Original in that flying such a BIG trum is easier
    in Cockpit view - DN as well as Train (just my humble opinion).

  • BS/DR ofc can use engine kill :D:rolleyes:

  • uhmm, must have used the wrong key-map then.... :S
