Spinning asteroid blocking mail slot of Asteroid Station.

My community and myself have constructed an Ice Asteroid Base.

Since completion, in a fresh instance, from space, all looks find and we can enter the base. As long as we stay in that instance, we can leave also.
But... if you are inside and the instance changes, we have asteroids spinning in the station (through the walls) and one blocking the mail slot as it spins.

No amount of re-instancing or quitting game/relaunch fixes this.

2 ways out:

1) Firing on an NPC (who is also stuck inside and will get blown up trying to leave), which will be a crime and you'll end up on a prison ship.
2) Going to Main Menu, then Help & Info and using the Stuck Recovery option to re-spawn outside.

Otherwise.... no way to leave. There are up to 3 spinning asteroids inside the base when a new instance is created whilst you are in the station.

Hope this can be fixed.

For once, that is a pretty funny bug.
 
On the one hand, annoying.
On the other hand, it is an asteroid base, seems a natural place for asteroids to be (and awesome looking)
Just a shame you can't blow them up even with the right equipment for core mining.

That's cold.
Hard luck really, hard as ice.
I'm trembling just thinking about it.

But seriously, sounds funny and annoying at the same time. Hopefully will be fixed soon!

I hope they're smaller and as long as docking computer can evade them, it's a good view.
 
I got the exact same bug. Spinning asteroid inside my asteroid base blocking the mail slot. Submitted a support ticket.

I got the exact same issue. I finished my first asteroid base last night. And when I came back online this morning, full of anticipation for my first asteroid base... the big disappointment: an asteroid is blocking the entrance to my asteroid base. Oh, the irony.
