Albatross too fat for certain stations [SOLVED]

[Lenient]

Hello there, I'm having a bit of a problem... my Albatross that I got from the HQ plot is stuck in the Yaki shipyard. It also happened in the Split shipyard (Zyarth's Stand).

It explodes as soon as it undocks. My auto-saves aren't old enough so I can't go back to where I hadn't docked it yet. Any solutions? This is an unmodded game. In addition, it wasn't possible to make a freight exchange with the Headquarters. I bought a Ryu to transfer the cargo but it did not work. The Ryu had sufficient cargo space (25k for the HQ).

I hope this doesn't mean I'm gonna be without a headquarters for the rest of this game.

[EDIT] Sorry if I wasted anyone's time, but ordering the Albatross to undock while you're being OOS works just fine!

It's even easier - you can be on board. Just don't undock manually, instead issue the command to move to some point in that sector. It will undock without any issues.

Or just select "Idle" on your ship's command list, and it'll automatically undock safely.

What were you trying to transfer, and how? You should be able to use the 'adjust station parameters' to move wares back and forth between ships and stations you own. I don't think you can store station kits in the HQ, though.

You actually can store station kits in the HQ.

Another option is to fly out of the sector and order the ship to undock and move away. Once it's clear, come back. Since the collision meshes are disabled while you're not actively in sector (mostly), it won't collide with the station and explode.

I had two TLs docked at the station, the Albatross having the undeployed HQ in its cargo hold. I couldn't transfer the HQ kit to the Ryu.

No you cannot transfer station kits between TLs at Outposts/Docks/Shipyards in vanilla, but you can transfer them to the Xenon Hub (since you have it if you have the PHQ) and then back to a different TL.
