That is stated in the latest patch notes, what does it mean? Sorry if it is a dumb question my English is not that good.

Thank you.

You can dock without warping to station

Naah. That would seriously mess upp bubbles in null.

I guess they have fixed the issue with "you fail to dock because you are cloaked" that sometimes (used to) happen. I am sure that you still will have to warp to station before attempting to dock when you press dock from a remote location.

This sounds more likely.


Would be great if it applied to Jump Gates as well.

And what's so "remote" about that?

You tell me ... maybe it is: "when you press dock from a remote location"

Are you suggesting you can dock directly from a safespot without the need to warp to station?

I think you are close to the answer: You can now click "Dock" while cloaked and in a remote location. Of course it still warps you to the station first.

I'm not suggesting anything. But your suggestion about what i wasn't suggesting sounds more like it.

It means there is a remote chance you will be successful when docking, if unsuccessful you will get the same old message.

Im sure thats what it is.

Why would they put that in the most recent patch notes?

So how do you get to the station then ... is it some new teleport mechanics??

Hi all,

Apologies for the confusion, we are going to change the patch notes to better reflect the actual fix. They will now read:

When automatically docking after warping to a station in a cloaked ship the system will wait for the ship to be decloaked before attempting to dock(will make the ship go nearer to the station).

The issue was that if you had set your destination to a station and cloaked during or just before warping then on approaching and attempting to dock while cloaked, EVE would notify you that docking had failed. The fix is that the code will now uncloak you just before you dock. This change does not mean you can teleport into a station without uncloaking.

The reason this is a recent fix, is because the ability to dock to a station via Autopilot was introduced in Crucible. Hope that answers all your concerns.

Feel free to poke me on: Twitter

It seems Lexmana was indeed correct.

CCP RubberBAND, thanks for clarifying. Does this also pertain to Jump Gates?

could you do this for jumping through gates too? (or would that be op or something, never heard of anyone getting killed right BEFORE jumping through a gate)

Could you also fix the game randomly leaving you ~50-100m short of jump/dock range at times, especially when flying small ships that do not have much mass (so they don't coast much after the warp completes).

Under autopilot the autopilot obviously approaches the gate and then jumps but when using "jump" it warps to 0m and tries to jump but falls short and doesn't try to approach or jump. This could, in theory, cause grief if you, say, use "jump" to get to a highsec gate of a lowsec system and then wander off/alt tab/whatever thinking that the ship warped to the gate and jumped - only to find out that it ended up 5m short of jump range and then some YARR guys used it for target practice.

because in the past if you issued a dock command and your ship reached docking range while cloaked you would get "can't dock while cloaked" and your ship would not do anything else but sit there

actually its more involved than that, but that's the general idea

Could you please apply the same fix for cloak warp to gates? I get the cloak error 6 times out of 10.
