Yeah, I got burned by saying that very quickly. I bought a new Sequana in Rebirth and rode it out of the station. Fool thing clipped right through one of the commerce docking port towers.OneOfMany wrote: ↑Tue, 20.

An 18 wheeler does not drive with its center.
One thing is for sure - ships can't just pass through stations in Rebirth. There's a pirate station in O.L. that's stuck right between the jump beacon and the stations of the Ratfish zone. Even when out of sector, trade ships will ram right into it! The station will then start cutting the trade ship apart. There's a mod now to move the station up a little and now my trade ships zip right on past.
Still, clipping seems very rare now. The capital ships just don't get in a position where there's even a check to be made. They ram right through asteroids without even taking damage.
