Not sure I've run into a rare instance however this bug is rather annoying..

The basics:
I am currently sitting in a station and want to change my medical clone from the current station it resides to station X in system Y. In this case I'm trying to set up a clone in a station where my corp had rented an office with no medical facilities

Normally the game prompts me for acknowledgement of the status of the system and costs, etc. Normally you'd hit Accept and the clone transfers.

Well here's where I've run into the issue. When selecting a station with/with out medical facilities my client does not prompt me for any such acknowledgement nor does it transfer the clone or spit out an error. It just simply stays on the station selection list.

I now have this issue occurring on two machines both running the latest windows clients and have submitted two bug reports and one petition concerning the matter.

The only way I have found to remedy the issue is to completely clear the client settings which leads into a long reconfiguration of the clients overview/shortcuts and other various things.

This has occurred about 4 times in 5 months and its pain due to the amount of time I have to spend post fix to reconfigure everything again.

Anyone else run into this and have another work around?

This happens because when you last moved your clone to a station with no medical, the game asked you if you were sure. The game also asked you if you would like to see the warning in the future, and you said no. Now somehow in the ass-backwards bizarro world that is the CCP UI design department, this is interpreted as "No, despite specifically doing so right now, i never want to go to a station with no medical facility again so don't even try!".

I have reported this bug and or terrible design in the past and the response was a definite "working as intended".

EDIT: And of course to fix, you reset this prompt under reset settings in the menu.

Interesting. My issue is also occurring on stations with Medical facilities or rented offices.. I'll try to reset the prompt again and see what happens. I've already had a Petition opened on the matter and if this doesn't resolve the issue i'll be giving CCP more details even video capture of the issue if it helps.


UPDATE: Everything is good after clearing the warning message about the system status. Thanks for the advice. I've also sent in the note to the GMs and they are forwarding the feedback from this thread and the petition.
