I bookmarked the Poco's so I could warp to a bookmark for my factory planets rather than havomg the science and industry window open.

Problem is nearly every time I warp to the bookmark, I land inside the poco and bounce out at silly speeds for an itty v.
Has anyone else had the same problem, it's getting tiresome now Sad

Yes unfortunately it is not really a bug but rather a game mechanic. The same thing happens when you warp to an oversized asteroid. Best fix i can think of is to try to warp tp 10 km away like I do with roids that size.

yeah I'll do some experimenting with bookmarks at varying differences and see if I can get it so I don't boing out :)

You can also just add a tab to your overview, showing the custom's office, when you warp into a system, switch over, warp to POCO, switch back to your main overview tab.

yeah confirm that -- using bm's or 'locations' doesn't work for me in my Orca anymore. Best use science and industry to warp to your poco but even then it's patchy - was fine beforeSad

Just one of the many little annoyances with eve I guess.

I didn't really want to have to use the S&I window since I use 6 planets that I've got configured in a particular order, but I might have to do it, and just write a list down of which order to do them in.

U can always bookmark the space near the POCO instead of the structure itself.

Or change the default warp-to distance to like 5000m?

When i started using the POCOs i made bookmarks. with the same fustrations mentioned here.

Since then i have moved from system to system which made it kinda anoying to keep making new bookmarks and deleting the old ones.

Now adays when i want to go to my planets i open up the s/i window go to planets and I can see the 5 planets I am using atm right click them select custom office and select warp to 0 that way I dont have to maintain the bookmarks and I only have the planets in my list that I acually use. I found that alot easier and alot less of a hazzle.

Think in 3 dimensions. Use a shuttle to make the bookmark underneath the customs gantry.

I struggle to cope with 2 dimensions Blink

I'll fire up the ceptor tonight and re-bookmark them

thx for the suggestion of going underneath the poco, I'll definately try that first.

This is indeed a NEW effect from Crucible's Release Date onward.

I've NEVER slammed into a POCO before, but 5 times now I've bounced and shot back at least 7500m.

NOT cute in Low Sec, thanks.

Reminds me of late 2008 when Warp to (Station) slammed you into a bounce off the side of Dodixie, or ANY other station.

Took weeks to fix.

After a little trial and fail last night, I reckon the best place to bookmark is to 1 side of the top structure of the poco. I tried at the base, and even when I directly approached the base from underneath, I couldn't get within opening range before bouncing off.

Changing the default warp to distance is the easiest solution, but I play eve, so I don't go for easiest Roll

Bookmark from the overview, not the object in space.

We have a defect for this, the problem is the collision bubbles do not really fit the model properly and can sometimes trap you in a seam. Keep your eye on the patch notes for an fix.

This seems to have worked for me:


  • Warp to a POCO from the overview
  • Land near the POCO - bookmark the location where you arrive


There we go - bookmark to POCO!

Just use whatever settings you had before POCOs were put in the game. I never used to have this problem before. It's not a huge deal if you're flying an industrial or something but trying to get to customs offices in a freighter has been really annoying...you either have to warp in out of range and slowboat to 2.5km or you risk bouncing off or getting stuck.

In my PI system, I can't get to the planets in order. Planet 3 to planet 4 won't let me warp due to the customs office being in the way.
This is ridiculous, especially flying a cow of a hauler in lowsec, trying to economise on time as you pick up your PI after dropping off a metric carpton of shuttles.
