Yesterday, one of the turrets somehow got out of range, so we all left the sector for 5 minutes to reset it. When we returned, none of our keys worked and we couldn't dock. However, the turrets weren't attacking us. We had to reconquer the station to regain access. If this happens every time no one is in the sector for 5 minutes, it's a pretty serious bug.

Sounds like it's more likely to happen every time Mistena conc-catapults one of the turrets out into the Void, to save you from losing control.

Strange. I specifically tested that exact scenario on the test server and it worked. Maybe there's some obscure differences in the database tables between production and test.

Maybe, Ray. Just reporting what happened. We can try it again to see if you want.

Really, Lecter? In Bugs? I didn't hide the turrets and I don't support or encourage others to do it. As soon as I noticed one was missing, I got everyone to clear the sector to fix it. What the hell do you want from me? Honestly, that's all irrelevant anyway. All the devs need to know is that there is a possible bug with keys when sectors reset. Next time I need to remember to just make a goddamn support ticket instead.

No, you didn't -- we did. You were merrily defending until we determined that it was missing and broke off the assault to deal with your group's antics.

Ray, it happened again. I conquered the station just now, docked fine (several times), left for a few minutes, came back, and then couldn't dock. The turrets are not attacking me, even if I attack them, but I can't dock.

Ok, you're docked now. Does that mean it started working without changes or did you reconquer the station or did you let the sector restart on its own again?

It should be fixed now.

Thanks, Ray.
