Docking issues

Observations: Hawk had probs with docking in team cargohunt map - it was running through the dockport until F5 and F8 again. Sometimes I had to do this procedure twice.
I guess this shows the problem is on the base-side as long as the Hawk's dockport is original EoC?
On team assault map neither Hawk nor Truck were docking properly to the SD. How do the ships decide which dockport to take?
The ships do only dock backwards relativ to SD direction. Undocking and simply redocking works fine. After undocking and turning the ship 90° on z-axis the alignement doesn't work and the ship starts to dance around the SD.
The Truck seems to do the job better.
Is it possible to mix the dockport-orientataion in the SD bay? Maybe this would show some better results?

There is no safe distance

I could arrange each dockport with a slightly different angle if you think that would help.

Thanks a lot for all the testing work.

The ships decide randomly for any dockport that is avaliable (nothing else is docked) and is compatible. (you can't dock a ship to a cargo only port)

The Hawk has acceleration values that are even higher than the SW ships, so I dunno if thats a good test object. I'll try a roll back to the older mods like what_rocksv2 or EpicOnline for a test, just to be sure.

If they don't dock in the SD bay I wouldn't be suprised as that could be a size issue too.


I couldn't work on this today as I wanted due to a wierd system crash on my PC with the compiler and scripts (and my eMail [] )

The last CD-Backup I did was 2 weeks ago, so I've spent a good part of the day backing up everything on a spare HDD (using DOS!) before I do a system repair.
