Anybody understand the "station doors wont kill" fix? Is Michael saying the entrance wont kill if you crash into it or what??
Dont get it...
 
@Michael Brookes, this is a unrelated and I hope it's no problem to ask here but could you please tell me which is the current cap of players for each 'island' (should be 32 players right?) and if there is hope to improve that number soon?

32 was the last number i've seen for max limit.
Reality is its unlikely you will even see 32, the nature of the networking is until everyone playing has a fibre connection you could have a limit of 128 but still see no more than 12 commanders as the main limiting factor is island health which is driven by the lowest speed connection from a player.
So unless you filter low speed players and only allow high speed players to play together you hit limits.

Its regarding the 'mysterious in station deaths" that have been happening.. Looks like it was the doors from what Ive read.. When people pop as they are about to launch..

It was causing most of the mysterious deaths inside stations - the stations have doors that were causing collisions and they should always be locked open.

That will be fixed in 1.1 - unfortunately it's quite a big resource change that isn't suitable for inclusion in a minor release.

There was I thinking it was the electrics on the blink... Just a random hazard of docking. Can't we intentionally have minor outages like this, or even selecting "Enter Hangar" not working due to a mechanical failure so you're assigned a new docking pad (if you're lucky and there's one available), but with a tighter time limit - or the option of accepting a small financial credit from the station or outpost if you leave right away? Subsequent docking requests which would otherwise be denied for a sensible period of time could be denied with a new reason while repairs were undertaken.

Random thoughts...
 
Eh...?

At entry box, in the middle. During Beta 3 there was buggy states of instance when you could actually see them deployed. Yes, there are actual doors at box entry at the station.
