Only post i found for this was locked for some reason Evil

If the game client is not the active window in full screen mode then the ship will not dock or jump. i just sits there and waits until i switch back to it.

Is there a fix planned for this?

I'm having issues with this too since I started playing again in March of 2013. If I'm alt tabbed out, my ship refuses to dock. I can make it through warp gates using autopilot while tabbed out, but docking doesn't work at all.

It doesn't matter whether I select a station and choose "dock" directly, or use the autopilot, if I'm tabbed out, my ship will warp to the station and then simply sit outside of the station until I tab back in - at which point I automatically burn toward the station and dock. It's like the tabbing out interrupts the docking procedure and it picks back up as soon as I tab back in.

Ship is not jumping most of the time, i do not need to alt-tab. It just arrives at next gate, Message Approaching than
sits still. Few guys allready lost their ships this way to NPC's on gate and nobody cares about this! Not even an official
response or a promise to solve it.

Its happened with Eve as long as I can remember, jumps gates ok for me but doesn't dock.

Seen a few people get suicide ganked because they were on AP and tabbed out and the ship ended up sitting outside station for hours.
