Never dock a Springblossom in a Large Split Shipyard.

[Malaclypseredring]

I just docked in a large split shipyard in Zyarths Dominion using a docking computer.

Upon "undocking" from the shipyard, The Springblossom is unable to exit the station because it can't fit through the hanger doors.



Now I have to buy another ship(not really a big deal, but still) just to leave the sector and not have collision/explosion/gameover upon undocking my M6.

You have been warned.

Or undock using autopillock. (Navigation menu - move to position if needs be)

[BeidAmmikon]

Yes, either 1. command it to dock at another station or move to a position, or 2. buy a cheap fighter, transfer yourself into it, exit the sector, undock the Springblossom, enter the sector again, get inside the Springblossom and get rid of that cheap ship.
Of course the first solution is the cheapest, both credits- and time-wise.

Same sorta thing with Hyperion Vanguard, and Boron Super Shipyard.


After trying to wrench myself loose, I used a jumpdrive.

Yeah, this happened to me

I managed to undock after a number of attempts by punching the turbo boost to blast clear of the doors before they closed on my Springblossom.

I think it's because you dock into the wrong docking ports. You dock into the fighter bay (which is internal to the shipyard) instead of on the outside docking clamps where an M6 is supposed to go.

That happened to my springblossom. It wasn't until I auto docked to another station, that I was able to get free.

I'm not sure if the spring blossom can handle the initial impact, but the hyperion can survive the first impact of hitting opening doors. If you get lucky and strafe down...you might survive.

Wierd,I never had problems undocking from that shipyard with my Springy.

This happen to me with a Vidar! I was running TC 2.0, never had the problem again since I updated.

Yep, I had this problem today. Got out by doing the buy another ship trick, but will try the autopilot trick next time.

[Terre]

Commanding the craft to idle will allow it to leave the shipyard, l, c, 1, 1 is the keystroke command combination I use.

[Kor'ah]

I just pop up the sector map and autopilot dock at another station in the sector. Overide autopilot two seconds later once clear of the SSY.

Docking and undocking at stations is one of the few times autopilot does something right....Most of the time.

Happens sometimes yes. but more likely is to die when you undock from your HQ. argh!
