Freeport XV docking - tqf - 09-11-2007
Hiya,
I found Freeport XV in ... and tired to dock it with my container transport, but it didn't dock.
My large transporter was just circling around dock bay and then got dock message and "found" dock bay, but it didn't work. And my ship was contacting to base too...

Docking on that base is a tricky business. Try on top of the control tower.

Dab's expected to send me a new version of this station soon enough, so this will probably be fixed by the next release.

Yes, I'm working on fixing it, as I didn't expect the biodomes to be in the way when I first made the base. I'm planning on making a new design that has the biodomes at a distance farther than the docking sequence starts, so they don't interfere, yet it still keeps its unique look and its plethora of biodomes (its meant to be the region's largest supplier of food).
If you want to dock before new version is sent out, point the 'nose' of your ship at the bottom of the control tower in the center of the base. Your nose should be about to touch the big disk the tower is coming out of. It should instant-dock the station. Undocking isn't hampered much, you just bounce off a dome when you undock.

In other words, until this is fixed, you must speed dock with this station.
Speed docking is when you put your ship's Mount where the docking squence starts; IE, to Speed Dock a tradelane, press dock right before you pass through the tradelane. Of course, make shure you use the right side, or else your ship will just go through and circle around.
Also, be careful of speed docking, cause then you can over shoot. usually, with tradelanes, this aint a problem, but with stations and possably planets... you catch my drift?
