launching from my capship but appearing 1000's of meters away

This is an old bug, and i'm pretty sure i posted about it some time ago, but i can't seem to track that thread down...

Randomly and rarely, i will launch from my trident/goli, and suddenly find myself not at the dock of my ship, but 1000's of meters away...sometimes as much as 5000m. As you can surely understand, this is not only incredibly disorienting, but can drastically compromise certain situations.

I wish i could give you any kind of congruence associated with the occurrence, but as i mentioned, it is really quite random.

If you have examples of sectors and specific times when this happens, we could look at the logs, which might shed some light on things? That'd be helpful.

launched from my trident at the station and was "teleported" 342m away

a mild example, but an example nonetheless

here is a link to a pic:

Has happened to me twice in all my time if I remember correctly, and the last was just after I finished my trident like 5 to 6 months ago. But I remember undocking from capship about 200m away from station, and next thing I know I'm 3000m away from station. Not much detail but to affirm that it happens to more players I guess

urshurak, that link doesn't work for me.
Our logs don't show you launching that far from your trident. Were you experiencing any sort of lag around the same time?

Ray, here is his image:

@ Luxen : thanks for fixing the image hosting issue

@ raybondo : no, no lag-- when this occurs, it is always instantaneous, regardless of the distance from the ship i suddenly find myself at...and, to that point, note the location of the XC...i only rotated 180 degrees to snap this screenshot. had this been resultant of lag, i would think i would be looking at the back of my dent, not the side.

I think I found the problem. The debugging info didn't trigger because the problem was different than I thought, and the time was actually ~5 minutes after the time you specified.

This should be fixed now. Let us know if it continues to happen.
