Why is it that warping to Dock and Alt Tabbing out delays Docking?

Finish mining Dock to nearest Station.

Alt Tab to read internet hilarity.

Come back ten minutes later to see mining ship still waiting to Dock.

Happens every time I Alt Tab after Warping.

Thanks.

"Working as intended", I hope.

Why were you afk in space?
That's a serious infraction of the Code, there, mate.

If you send me 5 mil ISK for "services rendered", I might be able to talk a New Order Agent into giving you a chance to pay for your permit.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

So watching a warp cutscene is so enthralling that I should be glued to the monitor?

This has been happening on gates for ages. I'm just in the habit of spamming jump on the gate now so don't know if it still as bad.

actually we discussed it some time ago and found that you only need to give ONE command to jump.
Once you give 2nd or more system gets broken.

To the OP: yes, i see the same as the stations and at the gates: client has no focus -> you see delayed actions. Can't check for sure but i see it.

We miners are busy people, we ain't got time for silliness such as watching a slide show side effect. More important works need doing, such as plotting the arrival of pink space ponies to the space lanes.

We are evil evil.

Attempt at being relevant--- 1/10


Op, if you play fullscreen, floating at the docking ring will happen once and a while. As mentioned, try window mode.


P.S. With a huge ISBoxer mining fleet, reading the forums, and maybe watching a movie at the same time, window mode is the only way to fly baby. Big smile

So this actually is one of the most annoying things that ever happened to me.

On one side I was quite happy about it, because sometimes it let me shoot pods
of pilots who believed they'll dock up ... otoh, it got myself killed too. hahaha. xD


But seriously, before knowing that I too assumed that clicking DOCK means that
my ship will DOCK even when I alttab away ... but NOOOOO.


Aaaaand this actually got fixed a year ago ... or two.


So ... petition or bug report.

Still better than spamming DOCK at the end of a 15KM gauntlet run in lowsec and it's a first visit meaning no bookmark.

Just use the autopilot to insta-dock from a 0-range bookmark. It's much better practice anyway.

While I support the hard work of an honest businessman, I would appreciate it if you avoided charging people for contacting New Order agents. Code enforcement is done out of the goodness of our hearts; mixing in additional fees discourages compliance and is counterproductive to our goals. Perhaps instead of charging him five million isk to contact an agent, you could act as a temporary agent and sell him a permit yourself?

I've never experienced this issue specifically from alt+tabbing. Maybe what you're experiencing is that sometimes when you warp to station, you land 2km outside of docking range. Only thing you can do about that is:

1) Create a bookmark that's well within station's docking ring
2) Tell ship to warp to bookmark
3) Set station as your destination
4) Turn on autopilot

When the ship lands the autopilot will give the dock command.
