Can one of you folks kindly get your lazy arse over to the Harbor Control and find out why I spent a good three hours in a docking loop on Docking Point Twelve?
The damn thing wouldn't relinquish control of my ship over to me, even after I disabled my nav computer!
I had to do a full system shutdown of my Arrow, which took a good hour to reboot.
Here's a bit of gun can footage:
If someone doesn't mind FIXING THAT, I'd be most greatful. Now, I need to see someone about a replacement nav computer, as well as how to get welding scorches out of cockpit panelling.

Re: Docking Loop on Point Twelve
Well, I'll be honest with you. It's been a long day.
First off, because of the lazy-ass homies up in Customer Service can't handle a call like this, maintenance is taking it directly. So, don't be completely surprised if you don't get a guy with a funky accent o' the normal polite treatment.
Secondly, since the recent economic downturn, there have been lay-offs. I don't know if ya'll brothers in the IMG have experienced these recent cutbacks, but they cut deep into our workload. Two months ago, West Point's Harbor Control and Maintenance was staffed by twenty boys and gals. Today, we got eight guys running our asses off between busted gravimetric stabilizers because some idiot can't bother to enter the correct tonnage of his ship and now, bugged up VI docking programs.
Secondly, I really don't know what the hell to tell you, 'cept a story about a little boy named Johnny.
Johnny got stuck in that same docking loop around 2 years ago, except it wasn't a glitch like in your case. Johnny got f***'d cause the Man decided that it would be cool to screw around with the timing sequence in the program and the bay doors. So, when lil Johnny be comin' around to go dock on West Point - fresh cadet and all, lil Johnny got OWNED!
Why!?
Cause the Man f***'d with the timing sequence, and Johnny's damn defender got crushed by the bay doors.
So, I don't mean to scare you o' anythin' like that. That ain't my intention.
What I'm trying to say is... consider yoself lucky. We got alot on our hands, and we workin' our hardest to rectify all here problems.
So, be cool.
Sincerely yours,
Lieutenant Atticus Sanders, Harbor Control Maintenance, West Point Military Academy
