Bug: Failure to dock

[Cardinal]

I have to escort an EI100 freighter to a base and back again, but its just circling the base, occasionally getting attacked.

Fortunately I can continue the missions at another korolov.

I like this version, but its pretty buggy.

Looking forward to 0.99a

Correction: EI200. And it just happened a second time at the other korolov, but this time it remains circling the korolov station

Yes, I have this problem too, with the EI200 freighter.

I noticed similar behaviour from the Drakes in Charon system. After they destroyed the korolov base, they circled the stargate rather than exiting it...

... until I murdered them.

[Bobby]

it's probably because of the turning speed and acceleration matched up just so it "falls" towards the station at the same rate it flies past it, achieving an orbit.

[Cardinal]

Yep, thats what it looks like.

I've found another 'bug' which I guess could go under this title; sometimes at the Korolev there aren't enough docking ports to dock straight away. It's easily solved by either waiting for one to leave, or waiting for enemies to come for you (activating the guards), but it can take a while even in autopilot.

I had a similar bug with one of the Antares ships (2 I think), it went a little ways away from the station toward its target and then just started circling, I shot at it some and then a sapiens ship blew it up.
