why is the T9 heavy always scraping the bottom of the mail slot on star ports with auto landing.it not a big problem with me personally. But (yes there is one) if you try to land one with auto dock computer it always seems to catch the bottom of mail slot. i never had problems with Dolphin or any other larger ship.

yes i know you can switch it off. but (oh there another one.) i'll like watch the ships go into dock .and taken photos and you can't do that unless your buzz aldrin :)

example star ports : Rhea style star ports

Seems to be random, introduced a few patches ago, not fixed in the last beta. Not a big deal tbh, potentially 1% damage on a turn around, that is like 0.00000000000001% out of the profit. Bug report it though, I'll do the same next beta.

Btw, always hand fly those refinery stations, auto pathing isn't great. Good idea to hand fly those freighters every now and then

Pilots federation should introduce mandatory 3 month manual docking proficiency checks, just to make sure cmdrs aren't getting complacent ;)

i don't think it actually the t9 causing the problem. it seems to be the auto dock computer mis aligning with the base floor and i also think the ship is colliding inside the star port 3d mesh it self causing it to jerk up slightly.

it not causing damage to the ship has per say. it just a glitch in the ai docking computer code. :D

yes i can fly manually too. but i'm too busy & lazy hold the beer in 1 hand

Shields? 10,000cr damage (or just fly manual) or no shields and a extra 70 million credits in the cargo hold..

what are you hauling? atm I'm stacking missions with 740 cargo space and making 25-30 million per run plus without needing to do a jump. I do get interdicted 3 or 4 times whilst supercruising between ports. If i fail an interdiction those anacondas pirates would kill me easily without a shield, 5a shields and 4 shield boosts only just about gives me time to get away

I can honestly say that I cant remember the last time I lost an interdiction or died to an npc. Interdiction's over the past 4+ years have got easier (have never won against a cmdr)

What is frustrating is the sheer number of chain interdiction, am sticking to mining until the carriers arrive.
