Get clearance for docking, proceed to the pad and land
except i just scrape across the floor
doing it all correct - done it a thousand times with 1 mistake once
it simply wont land.

*** is going on?

I've had trouble myself and every time it was about not being level pitchwise. The model in the landing UI is a little deceptive.

She lands with her nose up on the radar

Been flying the 6 for 8 hours now, never had a issue, but then I do park like I have 100 tonnes of explosives no matter what I fly.

On a side note, am I the only one with heatsink launchers to evade interdictions? She's a HOT mother!

Had the same problems with the Lakon 6...it seems very temperamental when aligning with the platform. I've been bouncing up and down on the platform for 30 seconds or so until it finally docks. Nose up, nose down, nose level...doesn't seem to make a difference.

The Lakon 9 on the other hand seems to be the opposite, very easy to achieve docking, even with some questionable alignment.

I would of said that as well, but the Lakon 6 has issues. Glad I read this thread because I was wondering it was me or not.

I think it has something to do with how much the ship is leveled horizontally. At least it seemed to me, when the ship was tilted forward or backward slightly, it would not land. I never experienced it with other ships.

It can also be the intermediate landing pad. I believe it was introduced specially for this type of ship. Before Beta there were only 2 types of landing pads, now we have three.

There was a bug before that you actually had to turn your ship 180 degree to be able to land. Would be interesting to se if that solved his problem and in that case the bug is still around.

the type 6 can be a bit tricky at times, normally if you fly away up away from the pad then come back round again you can land.

wait until you get the type 9 apart from getting it through the docking port at the front of the station, landing it once your inside is a breeze probably the easiest ship to land.

This is a bug.

You need to save & quit the game and then reload.

This bug happened to me last night.

Leaving the station, entering super-cruise, and returning to the station fixed it.



....I don't feel safe logging out when my ship isn't in a station.




Edit:
When I submitted a ticket for something else, I noticed a landing bay bug in the "known issues"

Basically the bay occasionally gets flipped 180. If you can't land, it can be worth it to try rotating to "land backwards" to see if that fixes the problem.
