I had a strange undocking bug yesterday afternoon, when I got stuck having changed ship part way through the animation and pressed undock. I was stuck with the client refusing to undock and the button flashing saying Abort Undock. In the end I was forced to log. I did not notice the ship was missing at that point.

I think it was like this, I was either in that ship or in another, I switched ships during the station animation, perhaps twice I am not sure and clicked undock, this left me in limbo with the ship refusing to undock and the button flashing as if I was undocking. I had to reboot to be able to do anything. I did not notice the ship gone at that point.

Petition sent:

Advise players to be very careful when changing ships multiple times during the animation and quickly undocking. If you are stuck like this then check your ships and also check to see if there are any ships floating outside in some random location.

Someone got a free Stratios out of this.

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

It sounds unpleasantly familiar. Probably 2006 or so (Red Moon Rising?) we had a patch where a few corpies undocked in ships and found themselves in capsules post animation.

Here is hoping CCP get on it quickly. I've heard of similar problems following this most recent patch so would be pretty confident its a bug.
