Hammer Torp. Fab. fail tail

Post by Terre » Wed, 3. Jul 13, 22:02

X3::AP Eng. 3.0 + BP

Trying to leave a hammer Torpedo Fabrication Facility in a Springblossom was proving fatal, when doing so manually - had to issue an order to idle to escape.

The factory model needs attention.Note the clipped tail section.

That is a well known long term issue with all sorts of wide-bodied or long M6 and various docks and stations (in both TC and AP). At least you are aware of the workarounds even though the issue is decidedly not DiD-friendly.

Basically, added ship models outgrew some of the original station designs and also some wide M6 models are unable to undock from adjacent arms on a normal external dock should you be unlucky enough to get another docked nearby. M6 internal docking on some TC/AP docks with tunnels and doors was another ship killer without use of workarounds when undocking.

Maybe something for 3.1, seeing as some of the docks were fixed in 3.0.
