Newcomer / Intro Ships and Modules stuck in transit?

[tclancey]

Following on from yesterday's issue where my modules in transfer appeared to be despatched in the wrong direction, I now have 3 modules and a ship stuck in transit.

The modules were 5 minutes away, the ship was 33 minutes away. After nearly an hour the modules are still 4 minutes away and god knows where the ship is! How do you check a ship's arrival time once you've set it on it's way?

Is this a common thing? Is this an odd implementation of Eve's time dilation?! (s)

The only problem I have had is that they seem to disappear for a short time while they sort themselves out at the receiving station, oh and I don't get an incoming message alert when the it's arrived message gets in my inbox.

You should submit a bug report.

I once transferred a ship but it still showed as being at the station I was transferring it from on the Galaxy map. Eventually the little ship symbol just disappeared. It was odd.

A rift in the space / time continuum...

Fortunately ship and module transfer has worked perfectly for me. With the exception of a display bug of the timer when it arrives.

I would be happy to say it's just a small problem with the timer, but, to be honest, I didn't check the Stored section, so I can't be sure this isn't the case for the modules. But I do know the ship wasn't there. I'll do a bug splat tomorrow morning. It just seems really odd for something that should be a relatively simple database lookup, and no-one else is reporting the problems. It's my nylon stockings isn't it!

Are you trying to time warp a link to the space Madness thread.
