Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Myself and many members of my alliance have been reporting that when we first log in and enter our starbase password, it always lands us on the edge of the shield unlike previously where we would land inside the POS.

This was a recent occurence with Inferno and I believe it has to do with the fact that it now checks the destination upon login (to let you catch people outside of the shield in a bubble)

For those that don't know, when you click Warp the destination end point is calculated before you ever even start moving. If your path travels through a warp bubble, for instance, your destination is at the edge of the bubble. If it goes into a POS shield but you do not have the password in just yet, you will land on the edge of the shield. This is why you must enter a POS password before you click warp, and why putting up a catch bubble after someone has clicked warp does not work.

When you log into the game, you are automatically in warp and your destination is calculated before you can ever even type in a POS password, landing you on the edge.

This is tremendously dangerous for people who fly slow ships like capitals. Landing 3-5 km outside of the shield can be devastating for capital+ size ships.
