Hey folks. We've got a bug fix coming in October that I think is especially important to draw your attention to ahead of time.
At the moment Rorquals can dock in Astrahus medium citadels, which is a bug. They actually even use the frigate undock port.
The intended design is that Rorquals should have the same docking access as normal sized capital ships like the carrier, dread and force aux classes. We're fixing this bug in the main October release which means that Rorquals will no longer be able to dock in Astrahus citadels.
Even though this is a fairly simple bug fix, I wanted to create a sticky thread just to make sure that there was some visibility for it ahead of the normal patch notes. I'd like to avoid people getting surprised by this fix as much as possible.
We're working on the dev blog for the big Rorqual changes coming in November, and that will be ready for everyone soon. Thanks!

Freighter and JF docking access remains unchanged, they have always been intended to be dockable in Astrahus citadels.

I find this comment especially amusing as this is literally a case of painting within the lines that were determined by others. :sigh:

Hey folks. We hear your concerns, and a good point has been raised by some that it's especially awkward to fix this bug a month before the actual Rorqual changes hit.
Although we can't leave this bug in place long-term (it's not within my power to leave the docking access as it is long-term since Astrahus citadels don't have the correct docking port for a Rorqual-sized ship), after some discussion internally we can delay the bug fix until at least November so that it doesn't hit before the Rorqual revamp. There are a number of changes in the pipeline that should help address some of the concerns here, although they're not at a stage where I'm able to provide exact release dates.
One change we are working towards is the ability to place items into your personal hangar in an Upwell structure from outside of that structure (within docking range). I'm not going to lie and tell you that we know exactly when that feature will be done, but it is on our roadmap.
In the meantime TL:DR is that we're delaying this fix for now, at least until November.
