Died Hotdogging Round Jamesons Memorial, Respawned at Neumann Camp

Duckfather · Mar 7, 2018

As it says on the tin. I just bought the farm at Jameson Memorial station while hotdogging through the infrastucture in an iEagle for laughs. An expected outcome of the aforesaid laughs (and great fun it was too

). But why have I just re-spawned at Neumann Camp when I took off from Jamesons in the first place? I've not even been there in the last 8 months or so, so it wouldn't even be a potential 'last dock' point for me. I've also not been naughty and have no bounties or contracts out on me.

It's no biggie as I can get back home, just unexpected. Anyone else seen any wierd respawns like this? Is this an unexpected (by me) game mechanic or a bug I should report?

Yes, it was mentioned in the 3.0 notes that this could happen. Adds some uncertainty when you suicide your ship deliberately.

Hmm, that could be an issue for people racing in stripped down ships without an FSD. If they respawn at a base without and FSD and with none for sale (and no shipyard to transfer ships to), they'd be effectively trapped. Their ship might not even be able to equip an FSD because of small powerplants!

i had something like this, was flying around in Yembo near some planetary station where i docked.. hit the ground to hard with my courier, ended up 800Ls in an outpost..\

this feature adds nothing for me, just annoyance..

This - I have a Imperial Eagle just for this purpose that I could see getting trapped.

You now respawn at the station closest to you (usualy one in the system you died in), not sure why that should be a problem for a stripped down racing ship without jump capability. if you can't jump between systems you can't go to the system in the first place, in which case you go there with a diffrent ship that can enter/leave the system and will be there for you while you transport the racing ship.

But of course things can get complicated in various ways when you do crimes.

this is not the case, i died 10km from an planetary station where i had docked, and spawned 800ls away at an outpost.

might have to do with C&P changes?

pffff... surely hope not, that would be another annoyince that system brought for me than..

The only time i have died since 3.0 was attempting to solo a cyclops, it went bad like normal, however for once i was unable to disengage and run when my hull got low (my fault).
I think i was in maia, certainly close, when i spawned back i was in the bubble!
Cost me a fair bit to ship the ax ship all the way back out for bug hunting. I was bloody annoyed tbh, had docked at numerous stations out in alienville, spawned in the bubble.

Since then i have been much more careful (which i am not really happy about, hard to be a starship trooper carefully!), not had a rebuy since....
