Here's a funny thing...
While Hiram's Anchorage was in Lockdown (and I'd outstayed my welcome in the territory) I took my T9 to get it engineered.
So, The Prism CG is back on again and I load up my T9 and make the journey to Hirams'.
Upon arriving, I let my DC do it's thing.
I'm allocated a pad "on the ceiling" and my T9 flies neatly into the mail-slot, gets half way through and then begins to rotate to orient itself with the pad.
Thus getting firmly wedged in the mail-slot. [where is it]
Got it out and landed it after hurriedly disabling the DC but, after further testing, I've found that it's doing this EVERY time it needs to rotate the ship before landing.
It seems like, after getting the ship engineered, the DC thinks the ship is further into a station than it really is and it tries to rotate the ship prematurely and gets wedged in the mail-slot.
Perhaps the DC is miscalculating the speed based on the stat's of the engineered thrusters or something?
Tried selling the DC and buying another one (from a different station, just to be sure) and it made no difference.
Anyway, ended up giving up with the DC, flogged it and stuck another cargo rack in instead, which brings the capacity up to a round 500t, so I guess it's all good. [blah]
