They don't want you to be able to grief UIT newbies all day. If it let you dock, you could fly around all day, blasting UIT newbies, homing and repping at all the subfaction stations without ever having to leave UIT space, thus giving the UIT newbies no chance to get away.

(In my opinion, you should not only take a faction hit on UIT for shooting a UIT player, but for all UIT subfactions. It doesn't make sense that you can be KOS with UIT, but the subfactions still like you... But I guess the system as it is is fair enough now.)

that answered nothing but what your opinion is. it used to be one way a few weeks ago and now its this other way. which way is it SUPPOSED to be, not "what is your opinion on how its should be"

We'll have to practise your reading again. The first paragraph certainly contains the reason why this is as it is. The devs have given no statement why they changed it, probably because it is obvious.

Oh, in case you were trying to dock in Arta or Dau. You can't dock there, even with the subfactions when you're KOS. I think it's cause they are capitols.
But I am sure you knew this and meant the other systems...

I can still dock in sub faction stations outside of the capitols, Azek, Nyrius Etc. So no, I'm not sure he knew this.

Not a bug, you cannot dock in Dau or Arta once UiT Hate/KOS, been that way for like 4 years or more. I think they changed that just before introducing the silly turrets.

Sieger, when people make bug reports, please don't just assume the devs suddenly changed something without saying anything unless you actually go out and verify that something changed; and especially don't assume that unannounced changes were intentional. In fact, it is almost always the case that unannounced changes are bugs. Even if the change seems like a desirable feature, if it was the result of a bug then it is important for the devs to be made aware of the bug's presence in case the underlying issue that causes the desirable observed behaviour also causes other problems behind the scenes that are not desirable.

This is intended behaviour. I remember the update which specifically mentioned this change. It was a year or so ago, ill dig it up when I get a free moment.
