According to the BETA patch notes, the docking bug should have been fixed for large stations.
6.20 Public Beta (4) Changelog:
"Fixed ships not being able to dock to very large stations in some locations."
"Fixed ships not being able to dock at some stations with covered docking areas."
Unfortunately...
I've had problems with my "star bases" since version 6.00
Sometimes my ships don't dock, sometimes other factions don't dock and remain in docking mode and then fly on the spot. After a certain time, masses of ships accumulate in one place.
In version 5.1 it all worked perfectly.
Where exactly am I having problems?
Now also in the current BETA 6.2 (with all DLC's):
"Starbase I":
works correctly. No docking problems
"Starbase II":
also works correctly
"Starbase III":
My own ships (L-Mining & Gas) are not docking. I get around this if I revoke all orders and then reallocate them to the base (to the manager). Then even ALL dock at once.
At the next docking (after collecting minerals/gas) the same errors happen again.
Other factions have problems as well. Also smaller ship classes (M/S)
"Starbase IV":
My own ships dock perfectly. Collect, dock, collect, dock and so on works fine.
Other factions have problems. These Ships are all in dock mode and remain in place. If I deselect all these ships in the "logical overview", they will dock in the next round. But other newly arriving ships have the same problem again.
"Starbase V":
Freshly built. Has never produced before. Only power cells are currently for sale here. But even with almost zero traffic, you can see that even these few ships (L/M/S) have problems here.
ALL starbases are built identically. When I discovered the problem, I installed 12 additional 6S/3M docks in the middle of each base. Unfortunately, that didn't work.
It's funny and strange at the same time that starbases 1 & 2 work perfectly, base 3 then has massive problems and at base 4 only foreign peoples have problems. I see no difference there?
(I had already saved and loaded in the beta to rule this out)
Here are 3 saves (Download button at top right):
save001.xml.gz is my current score WITHOUT a beta save. Version 6.1 Relase (as of today) -93,1MB
ONLY for comparison if necessary (old saves):
save007.xml.gzis an older save from version 5.1 Relase (05/21/2022, where everything worked until 6.0) -97,1MB
save009.xml.gz version 4.00 Relase (06/21/2021 "Starbase IV" only, but no problems up to 6.0) - 71,6MB
No matter which saved game I load, problems appear "now" with 6.xx.
Important:
My saves have NEVER been modded over the years, nor have they ever seen a beta before!
Thanks to you in advance and sorry for the bad english
