I lose ship and cargo when I go doo doo while autodocking [mad]

[MissMeYet]

Me so mad. No have insurance because live in socialist country where State pays for boo boo's. Who can I blame?

Blame it on the boogie.

depending on the planet i think it would be better to either blame it on the sunshine or the moonlight

but seriously, if you lose a ship due to a bio-waste break while docking its nobody's fault but the pilot. artificial intelligence is banned in the Elite universe so its no wonder the docking computer is a bit dumb, its like a three year old kid - it needs constant supervision or there will be tears.

Funny thing is I know the post that you are referring to with this one.

And I agree with your position.

IRL, Auto-land is a great feature when it's been a long day and the weather is awful, but your thumb is never far from the disconnect switch just in case... The same basic rule should also apply in ED IMO.

On the topic of equipment not always working 100%, I think a useful feature in ED would be items that have a low but very real failure rate. Microsoft FlghtSim allows you to set realism levels whereby engines or landing gear (among many other systems) will randomly fail.

My 2 cents...

Well we don't take kindly to those who don't take kindly round here!

Made me giggle a bit.
