Booked shuttle will not land...

I see / experiment this bug since day one I play, over a year and half now - book a shuttle, and you see her coming and then just hanging over the landing pad...
Cancel the booking, call again... sometime this work, sometime you need to call 3 times... cuz the damn thing won't land !

Will be this bug solve in our lifetime, guys ? Anyone has some info ? I know it is not a game breaking bug, but it is annoying, still, since so many patches passed and the Edevs seems to not care about... and yes, I filled a report on it, long time ago...

Never had it happen.

I believe I have heard of it happening when the CMDR manages to annoy the faction that controls the base, that is the shuttle gets refused landing permission because the base is now hostile to the player, in that case walk away from the base and call the Apex taxi in the wilderness, but I have never had it happen to me, mind you I avoid killing base personnel.

I have had it happen to me. Several times but rarely. Usually it works on the next try. I’m not sure but I seem to remember a possible correlation to doing damage to the station. Like killing a sentry skimmer, blowing up a red barrel or similar, but it’s been a long time since it happened to me so the above may not be accurate.

I do no do damage to the station, but yes, usually I call the shuttle from inside, to make a faster escape... maybe because I am inside a building ? could be the reason of the bug ?

Happens regularly to me, probably because it's extremely rare that I go to a settlement without pillaging the place. I just move 500m away and relog and that seems to clear it up.

Fun fact: The shuttle does not need to land for it to be boarded. If it is hovering, stand under it where the blue cylinder comes down from the ship and access as usual.

I don't think it lets you even call a shuttle from the wheel when the base is hostile, you get a message instead telling you to go 500m away or whatever it is.

happens frequently if you are doing things in the settlement, powering down f.ex. though it does happen (seemingly) random aswell. Cancel it and recall, works 100/100 times.
I can't say if you are having the same situation, but the only reason ever I can't call in the shuttle is if the base is hostile

I had several situations when I was forced to call 3 times... first two times come and just hang up at 200m alt...

Fortunately it does not happen often. It is hard to judge how high the APEX is hovering though.

Not really, if you jump aiming at ....:ROFLMAO: ( follow your advice ! )
:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
In a side note, I experimented to stay outside buildings when I do the call - seems to NOT be related, the bug occurs the same. All this usually occurs in Anarchy systems, and after I started the removal of PRegulator countdown, tough...

This happens to me all the time, and I've had up to 4 successive book/dismiss cycles in the same settlement, mostly when I call it from indoors although not exclusively so. The pad number doesn't light nor the pad beams, the Apex is usually 90 degrees of yaw out of alignment with the pad and on the rare occasion where there are aggro'd ships, it'll sit there in mid-air taking shots until something blows it up unless I notice and dismiss it, all the while the Apex screen telling me that arrival is "imminent". I've noticed that calling the taxi then disengaging the settlement's power regulator (populated or otherwise) will cause this almost 100% of the time, but despite avoiding that it still regularly pulls an inaccessible hover about 150-200m high, usually two or three times in a row. This never happens while I'm out on the pad waiting for the Apex, and mostly on long-range bookings (making a local booking with an intended redirect always seems to do the job though). It's an interesting circumstance to be sure.
