Can't undock after buying weapons

May 12, 2005 Imek link
I just found this little bug while shipping weapons to my home base. When I docked with a hornet and bought 4 axia positron guns, which were automatically equipped, I was unable to undock. At first I thought it was a connection problem and relogged, but the exact same thing happened on my second run. I'm not sure what specific condition is causing this, but here it is.

are you sure you didn't forget to put in a battery? It is after all a common look over you know.

cheers

Nope, I had a battery in the ship when I docked and I never removed it.

When you can't undock, there's usually a reason displayed in the lower left corner of the station interface, or at least the status line there will tell you what it's trying to do. Knowing what that said would help us debug it.

this has happened to me, as well. not only can i not leave a station, but i can't do anything else, either. i select a ship, for example, and the button dings but i stay in the select ship menu with the same ship active.

Is it a ship you already had, that is in the station you are in, or are you attempting to purchase a ship?

i can't remember the circumstances, but it's happened a couple times. logging out and back in fixed it, and i can't replicate it now. maybe it was after dying and buying back my ship? i'll try to pay more attention when it happens again.

Thanks. Any details you can nail down would be helpful.

Has happened to me too occasionally. Just clicked the leave station button and got no response whatsoever. Double checked I had a battery in. Thought maybe it was a lag spike but i was able to chat with other players. After re-logging it worked fine. Not sure what caused it. All I did was buy weapons.

happened to me again. i was flying a weaponless hornet in dau, docked, bought 4 gauss mkII's, and tried to leave but nothing happened. i forgot to look at the status line, though.

If you accidently hit "unequip all", your battery goes to storage. Make sure you just unequip the weapons or you'll have to re-equip the battery.

happened to me again. i bought weapons, checked my weapon groups, and then clicked "leave station". nothing happened. can't undock, can't sell cargo, can't select ship. the status line still said "browsing store inventory" right after it happened. and i DO have a battery.

Do you have an elevator pass? In stations with a mezzanine level you might not be able to undock without an elevator pass. If you can't find one in the store see me ingame and maybe we can work something out.

He's got the elevator/hall pass...I saw him dragging the radiator.
