Help getting the noob hammers bolted back on

[Arioch]

Here’s a bug that’s been around for a while - if you visit a Coriolis station that has noob hammers attached and target the station, on the HUD the arms will match what you see out of your cockpit but the station hologram will rotate faster than the actual station. You can also see this at normal Coriolis stations - if you are docked, the station holo on your dashboard will be rotating instead of stationary. If you’re docked at an “armed” Coriolis then the arms will be static on the holo but the station image will be rotating.

It’s a very minor bug, but visually annoying:

Also, since the last update has anyone noticed that when landing the name of the previously-docked-at station will briefly flash on the HUD before the name of the current station is displayed?

No.

That has not just shown up it has been around for years, it used to be you could sit there for seconds before the name and the state of the icons caught up at which time the last of the landing movement and sound would complete.
Now it is usually just a brief flicker before the HUD catches up.

Noob hammers?

Noob hammers?

They are the 'hammer-arms' that are occasionally seen attached to Coriolis stations. Example:

I must have been incredibly unobservant for years then

Thanks for confirming that it’s not just me, though having trawled through over 100 pages of issue reports with the keywords “HUD” or “landing” or “name” it seems no one else has ever reported the bug (the closest I could find was this one about carrier names). I’ll submit one once I’ve got some screen captures of the problem.

Edit: ...and the issue is reported

Many thanks to anyone who contributed to the noob hammer report as it is now confirmed - a sharper-eyed CMDR has noted that it’s all station types that have the main dock body rotating in the target holo view, it’s just more noticeable with the Coriolis.

Having docked a Jameson’s tonight I took advantage of VR and had a really close look at the station hologram, and the little pointy-out bits around the front were indeed still turning (showing the main dock was still spinning) while all the solar panels / hab ring etc. were all stationary.
