Two players jumped to Bractus C-5, and I was one of them. We were grouped, and I was the group leader. My capital ship was sent a considerable distance away for a while. I jumped to E-2 and ordered the ship to follow, but nothing happened. I realised I was still part of the group and assumed the ship would return to my original jump position. I ordered it to park, left the group, and commanded the ship to follow again. Still, nothing happened. I jumped back to check on my ship, which was flying somewhere. I ordered it to stop, then follow, and jumped out again. Usually, this results in an instant jump of the capital ship, but not this time. After waiting for more than 10 minutes, my ship was still flying in C-5 while I waited in E-2.

I asked the second player and learned that the original group still existed. Only he and his capital ship were in the group. The capital ship was in the space, and he was docked with it. I asked him to disband the group, of which he had become the owner after I left. I ordered the ship to park/follow again. Although nothing happened immediately, the ship finally arrived within a minute. I'm unsure if disbanding the group I was no longer in helped or if the ship just reached the desired jump point after all that time.

Yesterday, a similar situation occurred with a very similar or identical group setup. However, this time I took an escort mission. The convoy travelled about 70 km away from the station before jumping out.

Recently, I've been experiencing more issues with ships not following me promptly. For example, out from the unrats sector.
