8M Dock not being used by AI

[argon_emperor]

Issue shows up on any station that uses the 8M docks (most notably Argon/HAT trade stations

M sized traders just mill around constantly waiting for one of the two docks to be freed up from the 1M6S docks, never seen a single AI land at either of the two 8M docks
Anywhere upwards of 10 traders waiting around the trade station for a free docking slot

Have been seeing this since game release 1.0

Game is currently modified, however this issue still shows up even when on an unmodified game

After I saw your post I was monitoring HAT and although they do prefer the 2 smaller docks, I do see ships landing on the 8M docks as well.

Maybe it would be interesting if you can provide a Save game with the problem you are mentioning.

hey

what i have noticed when ships are landing specifically AI
they queue a landing order most noticed it with station build storage
when the order is initiated there will be no landing on the pad until the X ship will arrive and deliver what is needed (and queued in the turn)

for example if ship 1 is on the other side of the map ship 2 and 3 will wait close by to ship 1 to arrive
also note that if you are in the area of the landing pad some AI ships might get stuck in textures of the station (happened to my ships as well while just standing there and letting the AI pilot land on stations)

i think you still should provide a savegame if it will help for developers to counter this issue
also if my suggestion helps still provide the savegame for the devs as we all agree it shouldn't work like that

cheers
