Basically what I just said. The owner key we had previously set up had 2 user keys associated with it, i have no idea why. When we retook the station and selected the owner key as the new key only the key with no one in it had access, and the other key which was actually set up with users had no access. I added a few people to the empty key and set access to docking and IFF, let the sector sit for over 5 minutes and they still could not dock and the turrets fired at them.

from my experience retaking the station from you smurf bastards, it takes about 15 minutes for the sector to reset and keys to become active. When you initially reinstate a key, it comes back online with no access privilages, you have to manually reset them, THEN leave for about 15 mins. In most cases simply asking an attacker to hold off while the key resets works, as its really damn cheap to attack when the defenders cant defend because of a bug.

This was supposed to be fixed already, however its still f'd up. I've already put in a support ticket.

i guess the main problem is that when the Owner key was selected not all the User keys were not activated (once again not sure why there are more than one user key on the particular profile). But yeah, it is a pain taking it back from you damn toasters.

At least we are still leaving it open for testing. Unlike the other stations.

with the user keys... the way to keep that from happening...is whoever takes the station (youll ahve to make a new key) should immediately make his own user key.. when you give the owner key to someone, give them the user key as well. Otherwise, they can create their own user keys when they first try to give one out to someone and you wont have access to it. Since it only allows one user key per owner key, if youve given them the user key you WANT them to have... the game will simply keep giving that same one out.. Once you get a set of keys how you want it, name it something you wont get f'd up... the best way is to name the user key different then the owner key.. and always reactivate the owner. Youll still have to set access, but its not such a big deal.. if this makes no sense... im drunk and its late...

User Key holders don't have access after a station is retaken and the old Owner Key is selected. I checked "Can Dock" and "IFF", which were both off by default for some reason, and it still didn't work. It only fixes itself after the station resets, which requires there to be no players in the sector for a few minutes, which is hard when attackers are around.

Hm, ok. we'll check out that scenario. Thanks.
