Capital ships pushed 10 km off station when un docking and do anything

Not good in Anshar in low sec... if engaged you cant re dock . I will be selling mine before i lose it ! its now not usable and is too high a risk and target to be deployed.. Eh to wreck a good thing this patch has been a real pain in ass..
Nothing is done to promote this game only make the losses higher.
When a game becomes no longer fun but a annoyance then its time to hang up your hat,,, that's where your heading

Let me start with a degrading personal attack.

Now an intelligent and meaningful response.

Docking radius on stations is a severe issue given the fact that you can undock on many stations and fly kilometers away from the undock and still be in docking range. This is due to the fact that the radius is calculated based on your position and the surrounding "bubble" of space that extends to the furthest point. If you're in that radius, you can dock. What you have described is a station that, if you undock, does not have any large extensions on it that inflate the docking radius. If anything, this is how it should be. Space shuttles dont fly kilometers away from the international space station and magically appear docked just because they had a proximity to it. CCP needs to fix stations so that the docking radius is in proportion to the section of the station you are in relative contact to and not just some large radius bubble. Furthermore, the fact that you are crying about having to consider loss and how you employ your Anshar and that CCP is wrong for promoting loss, tells me that you want things handed to you and made easy instead of the "sandbox" environment. If you want to be safe, go to high sec and hope not to get ganked since that is the entire purpose of high security space as opposed to low and null security space. I think you need to revist the concepts of this game.

If you can't fend for yourself and accept the spirit and intent of the game, I suggest you crawl up your own ass and find another game.

This is a real issue that resulted from the new station models. When undocking a ship with a large sig radius i.e. cap ship you find yourself "overlapping" with the station's collision box.

That means that when you try to navigate, the station bumps you out of dock range. This is a new problem and there is no way to see it coming because the station's collision box is not visible.

This is a particular problem for jump freighters. On the way out to lowsec or nullsec, it's not a problem because they can simply jump and don't get bounced. On the way back to hisec, JFs undock from a station in lowsec bordering hisec and then warp to the stargate. It has to be done this way because you can't light cynos in hisec.

The only workaround atm is to find another station for your return cyno where this won't happen.

If you get kicked out of docking range by the station if you do the slightest movement, you are hardly a ******* moron; it's a flaw of the game.

The Bug should have been fixed by now, judging by the patch notes from yesterday.

Also, I don't know what you understand under "intelligent and meaningful", but if you are still inside the station model (Amarr Station Military's model is until the end of the poles, Caldari Administrative Station until the end of the wings, Gallente Mining Station until the end of the boom with the knob), you are still inside the docking range. Fact. If you undock from Minmatar Trade Posts or Gallente Factory Stations, where you are on the edge of the model itself, it it perfectly understandable to be out of docking range quickly. Fact.
