Today I made my usual transfer of planetary resources to Jita in my Anathema with my Alt. After I jumped to Jita I pressed the Warp and Dock button and waited to dock the station. Unfortunately, my warp ended at approximately 1 Km from the docking range and I had to approach the station. In less then a second my ship was targeted and destroyed by AlFaraS'ulTanine.
Now, I understand for some stations to have a smaller docking range (dependent on the quality of the station) and by this, to be unable to dock instantly after arriving at the station, but Jita IV - Moon 4 - Caldari Navy Assembly Plant?
At the most populated station of the game you are allowing players who have no intention of PVP, players who bring goods that support economy of the game to be randomly exposed to killing and eventually looting trough the simple fact of randomly warping 1 Km short of the station's docking range.
Although my loss was not that big (600 mil ISK), I'm still bound to wonder where do I end up if this happens to me half the times. What should I do? Sell my goods at a lower price at another station or wait a week for them to be sold? Use a battlecruiser to haul 200 m3 of goods? Any hauler would be destroyed just as easily by a Tornado. I understand loosing because of my carelessness, lack of knowledge, because I missed something. But because the game exposes me to players who scam and take advantage of any "exploits" they can find? Speaking of exploit, wouldn't this situation lean towards being an exploit (hunting for random warp outs at the most important market hub of the game)?
On the other hand, if these are the people that you want to support in this game, then I'll make room for them. Please consider this situation.
Best regards, Akkyma As Yaosus already pointed out, make a bookmark on the station that is at 0km off the station so that you can safely dock from there. In a similar fashion create an undock bookmark several hundreds or even thousands of kms away from where you are undocking that you can quickly warp to before gankers have the chance to blow your hauler to shreds. Or just use one of the Perimeter trade Fortizars where you never have to worry about that kind of thing because of tethering. This is not considered an exploit, and they aren't going to alter the docking radius for Jita just because it's the most popular hub. You only increase the odds of you getting ganked if you haul several multitudes more than your ship is worth as you did in this case.
even if you have a bm, they can still get you, ive been with nothing on me at 0 coming out of warp and autopilot submitting the docking, before it said docking permission granted I was at my clone bay hit by a 0 day old trasher with scan boost alts
