What's the deal with docking? Or rather, not being able to dock...

Has anyone noticed how after the interface upgrades docking became a hassle? I mean, I right click on the station on my assets window, click dock, go watch tv, come back, and my ship is hanging around outside the station, not making an attempt to dock, at all. I have to select the station and tell it to dock again. Known issue?

Yup, the standard fix is to dock first before going AFK

I'm just waiting for a time where this gets someone blown up and CCP blame it on them.

This happens more often then you would imagine. Many good kills had this way :). Don't go AFK until you know you are in station.

I'd expect nothing less than CCP to blame it on them, after all, it is their fault. If you get up to make a sammich or go watch tv and aren't 100% sure you are docked, who's fault is that?

If you run into more than 2 a**holes in a day, you should probably look in the mirror.

If this wasn't a bug I am sure it would be added as a feature.

always use keys (D - for dock) and ALWAYS press needed key at least 20 times to ensure Eve Client got it right. Only when you see message about changing of a session or sensors recalibrating you can be sure operation WILL TRY to complete.

I'm just happy when my frigate actually warps to the docking perimeter, since I've lost 4 in lowsec after warping to 2k off the station with a tornado gank boat with uber scan rez camping.
