I'm not sure what you are saying?
Is it that you are using autopilot or something and minimizing your game window?
maybe you should have the game window active when playing the game.... just a suggestion.

Yep, that's what I'm saying.
As to having the window active while playing, well, you know how it can be after a late nite session at the local Taco Bell. Sometime you just gotta run for the border and can't manually pilot... |

I can confirm this. You hit dock, alt+tab for any reason. Doesn't matter if it is 5 or 50 minutes, you dock up only after you alt+tab back to the client (rarely ever use the autopilot). I think it wouldn't hurt to send a bug report or 2. I am not old, just bitter. |

They should keep that.
Some of my targets have lost some expensive toys because of that.

If it's not a feature then it should be. Anything that encourages people to actually pay attention to the game they're playing should be encouraged.

Are you actually asking whether the game docks you when your alt tabbed.......What game ever gets you to a safe spot when you alt-tab. |

Regardless of whether or not its a good idea to autopilot, it sounds like a bug.
I've docked plenty of shuttles/pods/etc. while on autopilot and I'll admit to having lazily autopiloted a few cheap haulers those last few jumps because I just wanted a cup of coffee and they docked up fine while I was over at youtube or whatever. |

Hmmm.... I've used the Windows Button to go to the desktop while auto piloting. When I maximize the game, I'm docked, but I get a black screen with the sidebar buttons showing. So, I just go into the hanger, and then back into the captain's quarters, and all is good again. I've never been left hanging in space... |

Guys, i don't think this is connected with the autopilot. When it happened to me i just selected a station, pressed 'D' and alt+tabbed. Had to suddenly go afk, came back after 4 hours, opened the client and i saw my shuttle in space and i was docked within 3 seconds (without pressing anything). I am not old, just bitter. |

Happens to me every now and then too. Not using autopilot. Piloting manually only...arrive at system of choice, select station, click "dock", enter warp, alt+tab to desktop, do stuff, alt+tab back to eve. Sometimes I'll end up docked sometimes floating in front of the station. The latter one may require a click on "dock" again, sometimes I'll get docked without doing anything more or less instantly. Didn't file a bug report yet. Stop vomitgate-online! Make new gatejump effects optional: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_sickness#Simulation_sickness |

This has happened to me. Jump in system, select station, click "dock", alt-tab out of game, find myself floating outside station when alt-tabbing back. |

Feature.
Autopilot doesn't dock you if you're alt-tabbed. Manually trying to dock then alt-tabbing also leads to you not docking until you maximise the client again.
Which means you actually have to play the game. Don't be lazy bums.
Edit: also not sure why you would have to alt-tab because you ate taco bell. |

Autopilot does dock you if you are alt-tabbed. (otherwise my alt running courier missions is screwed)
However, Autopilot decides not to do something once in a while, and just sits at a gate or w/e. |

I think there is a bug around docking in general, has nothing to do with auto pilot or being minimized. Have you never noticed you try to dock, you even hear it say "Docking Permission Requested" and then nothing happens? I think this is common enough that people are in the habit of pressing D several times. Even Auto-Pilot attempts to dock twice, which indicates CCP is aware of the issue. My guess is that once in a blue moon even the duel docking attempt fails to dock you and you are left hanging in space.

Read closer. Alt tabbing prevents you from docking. If you are running multiple accounts, warp to a station and tab to another screen, you will not dock. Typical CCP bug.
And lol at the noobs saying this is a "Feature", You clearly need to get out more....
I too am excited about trading playability for more lag and shiny pictures.....:( Petition for a Minimum bounty of 10 mil. Prevent useless bounties!

Funny how everyone who disagrees with you is a 'noob', dearest Bob.
My word, actually wanting people to actively play the game they are supposed to be playing is noobish now. Thats gotta be the dumbest thing I've read all day.
Well, suck on this: even if it isn't a feature, it should be. You shouldn't be able to do anything unless you are actually actively playing the game. |
