Issues with ships docking properly
-
I’ve been having the strangest problems with a few custom ships i’ve loaded into freelancer in the last few days. Whenever I go to dock anywheres with the ship, it looks like its not “lined up” properly or something because it never finishes the docking sequence. I’ve left it sitting there for up to an hour and it just never finishes the sequence.
If I dock at planets and am inside the docking ring itself when I initiate the docking procedure, that lets me dock with the planet, same with jumpgates, but I have yet to be able to dock with a base of any kind, therefore hindering my advances in putting more ships in until the little dilemma is solved once and for all.
I’ve searched around on a few forums and couldn’t find any sort of answer to this issue, so anyone’s insight would be greatly appreciated.

try increasing tne nudge_force in the shiparch.ini for those new ones

nudge_force controls minor movements by the ai autopilot, such as sliding into that lineup docking position. Theres probably more it does, but i’m not really a modder. Though my experiments in the past have shown ships with too low of a setting will refuse to dock… they’ll start but just sit there never quite finishing. I’d imagine it also has minor influence on formations and adjustments using ‘goto’ but not entirely sure on that
