Required Information in all Technical Support Requests

Please ensure that you provide the following information for all questions posted in this Technical Support forum.
  • Version and language (e.g. 8.00 Hotfix 3, English, etc.).
  • Whether or not your game is modified using any third party scripts or mods (see note below).
  • The game start you originally selected for the game in which the problem occurred.
  • Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time.
  • Any possibly relevant changes you have made to your game, system, or software before the issue occurred.
  • Where appropriate, additional symptoms, error messages, links to saves, screenshots and crash dump files (see this Wiki entry).
  • Your system specifications in the form of a DxDiag report and vulkaninfo (see this Wiki entry).
Failure to provide all this information will make it pretty much impossible for people to help you and may mean that it takes longer for your problem to be identified and hopefully solved. So please don't waste your own time and everyone else's by just posting something like "My game freezes. Help!!!".

If you are supplying information that will not conveniently fit into posts in this forum (approx 70,000 character limit per post), in the worst case you can split long text files across 2 consecutive posts, or ideally you can upload the data to a reputable public fileshare site (a few examples are Google Drive, DropBox or PasteBin, etc) but please don't use sites that spam advertising or require registration for downloads. Please use in your post the open public sharing link to your file(s) that will not require any account or registration for others to download.

Note: Support for third party modifications must be provided by the authors of those modifications, and any requests for such support should be posted in the appropriate thread in the Scripts and Modding forum.

[#5795][9.0] On H Drone Carrier the drones often can't reach the frontal tube

Post by FatalKeks »

On Xenon H Drone Carrier the drones often can't reach the frontal tube while docking. This leads to the last drone trying to dock but never making it while in-system.
Unplayable. Refund requested... :P

You can see the drone failing to dock.
This bugs me since the H was initially introduced.

I noticed this as well. The last drone or two queue up to dock on top of the deck, instead of directly in front, and try to enter the tubes from there and continuously loop. An easy fix would be a behavior loop timer that changes the behavior after a number of seconds and force them to chose another queue.

I have also seen them get stuck trying to dock inside the frontal tube. It seems like a problem similar to what carriers with internal docks have always had, ships can't seem to figure out how to path properly to enclosed areas of capitol ships.

Maybe if the front drone docks of the H could be brought forward to match the depth of the side docks that might solve the issue.
