Docking issue in Earth sector

[viking42]

Hello,

When automated ships try to dock or pass the jumpgate in sector hearth, they have an uncontrolled behaviour, fly around in hectic moves and always finish killed, even if im not myself in the sector.

I have seen quite the same in aldrin but after 10 minits, the ships achieved to dock

Any idea why? already seen it?

If you aren't in the sector there is no collision detection, so this is very strange. Are you sure there are no over zealous pirates camping the gate?

Nope,

and im fully patched, and it happens only in earth sector, all ships sent there to dock finish in a collision

If your ships go outside the authorised area in Earth (which is quite small, and the autopilot is pretty much guaranteed to breach it) then the Terran Lasertowers will blow them away.

I saw the ships going the wrong way, away front he station, making erratic moves, once in earth they cant do anything by themselves

Carlo the Curious put it aptly -- the autopilot is too stupid to stick to the safe zone.

As it is, sending a ship on autopilot into Earth space is equal to bombarding it to rubble yourself.

Don't know if Egosoft is working on fixing this, though I suppose it should be fixed.

yes, myself if im in a ship on earth, i have to do manual pilotm otherways its just bumping around
