I explode upon undocking

[NeoBahamutZERO]

Alright. I'm running the game vanilla, no adjustments or alternate scripts or anything like that. I'm in the Teladi Shipyard in Ceo's Sprite. I docked, and I'm sitting in my Xenon PX Corvette. Problem? I can't undock. Everytime I go to undock, I get caught in the door and explode. I've tried stopping, I've tried rolling, nothing works, but I think it's a problem with the size of the PX... What do I do?

I'm running the most up to date version, through Steam.

I thought you weren't supposed to be able to dock corvettes in the first place? Or am I getting mixed up.

[NeoBahamutZERO]

No, no, you can dock corvettes. I'm not sure what kind of ship it is that you can't dock... I dunno. The corvette ships aren't that large that you wouldn't be able to dock them, though. You might be thinking of some sort of TL or something. M0? T0?

The only workaround I can think of is ordering another ship to dock at the station, hop into that one and get OOS. Only then, once collision detection is off, get the PX out of there. Since SETA doesn't work on stations, order something like an M5 to dock, or just buy one from that station and get moving.

It'd be nice to get to the bottom of the problem, maybe you could watch your PX undock while in your other ship to see the collision.

Hi,

I seem to recall that we had a similar problem in Reunion?

I have noticed a repeat of a similar problem in TC, when I hire a TL to transport a station from Argon Prime Shipyard it destroys itself when undocking.

The fix turned out to be one that was used in Reunion, undock the dammed thing when you are OOS in another ship.

I'm surprised that this old bug seems to still exist?

That's... really inconvenient. But, ok, I'll try it. Lesse here... Buy a harrier... and... leave the sector, and then tell it to leave, and... viola! Awesome, problem worked around, thanks.
