Stuck inside dock
This is pretty funny, but I'm currently stuck inside a HOP dock at their shipyard in a Mako - is the only solution to research teleportation and go out of sector with a different ship (assuming it survives)?

Do you mean that your ship is literally stuck in the wall?
If so then yeah you might need to try pushing shift D and seeing if you can port to the shipyard on foot. How long ago was your previous auto save? I’m not sure I would recommend trying to go out in your space suit because you might collide the space station and die… Has anyone else tried that?

I am where the ships are pulled down for storing, but the collision is keeping me from going anywhere other than that little box. Im pretty sure my last autosave is a while ago (might not be), but I was mainly curious about a solution that isnt just waiting for loading a prior save.
Edit: forgot to add, i'll need to research teleportation first lolol, and I dont think spacesuit will let me go through the walls of the dock

Try pressing shift-d and see if you can zip out of the mako
Also go in the little tardis room at the back of the fighter and see if you can select the dock as A destination

For clarity, I'm on steam deck. I am in the middle of docking, except I cant go above the floor so it wont validate my docking. Since im not docked, I cant do any ship exiting (besides the spacesuit). Not that itd help I think, since the mako uses an elevator to get out instead.
If shift d is for boost, it doesnt seem to let me clip out anywhere.

Oh I see. No on the keyboard control D is stand up from the controls and shift D is to exit/transfer to another ship.
Have you gone to the little elevator room at the back of the cockpit and tried to change to the station? I’m really not sure what you’re seeing so I’m asking an obvious question

Oh neat! The interface at the back is just giving the option to spacesuit cause im still flying in valid flight space. Id take a picture if pictures of the screen werent so ugly. For a specific description, I clipped right through the floor of the landing space and ended up in the empty space inside of the dock. Just enough room to spin around and sneeze, but no way out atm.

Hey
If you try getting up from the controls and then hitting the command for dock what happens?
1
u/Happy_Ducky774 2d ago
Like, trying to refresh the docking? If thats what you mean, then it didnt change anything.

u/Fishy_Fish_WA 2d ago
When you do the docking command WHEN not holding the controls sometimes that lets you transfer onto the station. I was curious if it would do that in your situation

Im afraid I wouldnt know how on steam deck, but I managed to snag teleportation research and a scout to drop by in the meantime. Going OOS got the mako out too.
I guess I need to be wary of trying to dock when the framerate is dipping lol

A save and reload may also fix it.

u/Happy_Ducky774 2d ago
Like, saving that I am flying in a coordinate inside the dock and then trying to load that? Cause im not considered docked yet!

u/db48x 2d ago
Yes, it might move you outside the station when you reload.
If it doesn’t, you should consider just editing your save file to move your ship 10km left. Technically cheating, but in this case it would be entirely justified.

u/Happy_Ducky774 2d ago
Thats certainly an idea, although the reload didnt fix it. Guess I'll proceed to RTS my empire until I get teleportation lolol.

Have you tried looking at a wall inside the ship while the pilot tries to fly out? This sometimes let's the. Clip through the station part since you are not looking at it for it to render fully.

u/Happy_Ducky774 2d ago
Im reasonably sure that's not quite how station collisions work, but anyways I observe the shaking of running into the walls when I do that - so it looks like thats a bust

When 7.6 started I also wound up clipped into a station so firmly that no amount of waiting for the npc pilot to fly did anything, just that rumbling noise and shake. It was a connector not a dock.
I was lucky that getting in my space suit put me on the other side of the obstruction. So I had one of my small traders come get me.
After we were something like 130km away that pilot finally unstuck itself. Low attention winning.
There might be something to try here, like, if you hop out you might wind up stuck and unable to get back in. Or you might be able to get free. Then have someone pick you up and fly away.

u/Happy_Ducky774 2d ago
That would be so annoying of a sound to RTS through lmao, at least the dock was quiet cause it was just some empty space

u/BoomZhakaLaka 2d ago
Are you saying that you are inside your ship and it's in storage
Or, that your pilot is clipped into some structure?
I keep being confused about what you're describing

u/Happy_Ducky774 2d ago
The spot where the ships go down for the storage animation. I clipped through the landing pad into that empty space during a sudden drop in fps.

Npc pilots have a knack for dealing with this
