Can't safely launch / dock with my carrier

My carrier seems to be travelling at a few hundred m/s. It nearly killed me to launch from it - couldn't figure out what was wrong and it actually did kill me trying to land on it. With my throttle zero'd I'm watching it sail off into the distance right now.

Bugs like this and regularly not being able to jump my carrier due to a lack of time slots is making me really want to drop this game again 😥

is there a station or something nearby? To my knowledge this happens when something else is nearby and you get attached to the wrong sphere of influence. This usually "fixes" itselft once the carrier and the station have either drifted apart far enough, otherwise you can jump the carrier to a different spot.

It took me two evenings of trying to jump to get it to move in the first place. I'll have another look later and see if it could be station proximity related. I did notice it was only about 700km from the nearby station tbf so that's probably a good shout.

Looks like you were spot on Helmut; it was the proximity of the station. Waited a day and the station was a good way again having orbited and all worked as expected.

It came close again and this got tricky so I jumped to another nearby body and back (which seems to be working with the normal 15min carrier jump limit now) and that pht me far enough away I could get in and out safely 👌🏻
