Could they not wait a little longer?

26kly from Sol, station not even complete.

Could they not have waited for DW2 to move on before they filled the system with cruise liners spamming local chat about their in-flight entertainment?

It's no great feat to get out here any more, but really?

Spamming system chat is one thing. Stealing my landing pad?

C'mon.

Happened in PG exactly once for me, in nearly 5,000 hours. I have never seen an NPC steal a landing pad before.

Have a little respect. That cruise liner is in the top 1% of cruise liners. It deserves to be treated more generously.

This guy doesn't think so.

Apologies for the VR screenie - grabbed it this morning on my way back from mining the CG

You might still be able to dock there. Have you tried?
Your ship will clip the docked vessel though.

The gym is closed. We apologize for the inconvenience. Check out the observation deck though.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not fundamentally anti-Open and currently actually flying in Open again after a very long time spend in Solo. I'd really want it to work properly, but that's disheartening.

It happened to me in solo albeit in an outpost.

Orbital outpost? And after docking clearance? You do know that NPCs can block landing pads in these outposts like players can do in Open, right? It's actually only the same case of what we are talking here *if* you already got docking clearance. And does this happen frequently or only happened once?

Ah ok, I thought we were talking before clearance. It has happened to me once or twice in open I believe.

That's an NPC taking his pad though, not a player.

This bug happens more often in player populated ports. Though i did have it happen to me before in colonia.

With 400t of CG ore on board I flew back out, cancelled docking and requested it again. Had I been carrying nothing I cared about I might have given it a go.

when said NPC ship landed did she get out with 2 kids in tow taking them to school, oh and also very overweight and wearing leggins that are too small and stretched so much they have gone see through....

Seems as others also mention related to open, something goes bonkers in the spawning.

I had a run in with an Orca in the mail slot (my fault - it was dark outside (thanks to another poster for reminding me of night vision) so didn't see it until last moment) which ended up my being 'taken care of' by the station gunners...

It made me chuckle anyway...

Unfortunately this is not a vivid imagination. there are people out there that do this. wait until you do see them then you will be asking the same thing.....
