Behemoth Moves Upwardly When Undocking with Thrust Applied From Certain Stations

Mar 02, 2005 DekuDekuplex link
When undocking from some stations with "w" pressed, the new Behemoth moves up, instead of exiting in a straight manner.

For some reason, this only happens at certain stations, such as Coranis Watch (Divinia M-14). It doesn't happen at certain other stations, such as Edras Command (Edras G-11).

In addition, while playing, I noticed another user, Moby Dick, complain on the chat window about the Behemoth appearing to "fall out" of dock when exiting as well, although I have not witnessed this behavior myself.

None of the other ships seem to exhibit these kinds of behavior.

Confirming DekuDekuplex's observations. It is not evident at all stations. I've had it happen in Deneb I-12 and a station in Dau that I can't remember off the top of my head. D-6 or I-9.

If you look carefully at the stations where it "moves up," you will notice that the top of the Behemoth knocks against the top of the docking bay, applying a slight torque. Sometimes the Behemoth repeatedly knocks on the top and bottom edges, which may end up with it never leaving the docking bay (http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/2/9428)

There are some stations that the behemoth hits when it launches. I'm working on figuring out why.
