When i go into a station and want to change ships, i amd told i must wate 20seconds before i can. Why must i sit in one spot for 20seconds befor i change or undock? heres my idea on how to fix this.
________________________________________
when you dock into a station, inside the ship bay you should be able to se your ship fly to infront of the camera. this procces should take almost 20 seconds as it flys into place. once it stops, it should probly take another second or two befor the player is opened to more options.
small ships: smaller ships should fly in by itself but should have guide lights.
medium ships: slightly larger ships should have to follow a small shuttle sized ship the you follow inside.
large ships: these will be guided by a frigate sized ship with other ships on the player's itself. (these will act like tug boats.)
If any 1 thinks of anything i shud add or fix here plz post. |

Edited by: XHolyAvengerX on 20/06/2009 18:19:21 Err... the 20 seconds thing is because of an invisible cooldown. Same thing can happen with gates. Putting in a 20 second docking animation would do nothing, because the cooldown would prevent it from starting because you would be "docked" to other players. Not to mention ccp has said they do not want to make a docking animation. It would get boring after seeing it a hundred times.
Now, if you wanted to get rid of the cooldown, I'd be all for it (provided it didn't help station huggers), but your suggestion just doesn't help with that. |

Edited by: Drake Draconis on 20/06/2009 18:41:26 It's not a cool down.... its a session change.
The Server is trying to catch up to you so to speak...
I've seen a few cases where I don't have the session change clock... but its usually when I'm in a pod activating a ship... not ship to ship.
If you check your graphics settings you can turn on the session change graphic which is usually in the top left corner... looks like a small rolling gear... when it disappears the session change is complete... you can change your ship at will.
A lot of things trigger this session change clock... jumping through stargates... fleet changes... etc..etc..
Yes... Id like to have scotty fired/shot/drawn/quartered/spaced.
But Its just a little "distraction" from the real reason. |

My favorite error is the one that you are not allowed to do that when undocking, when you are trying to activate a stargate :) |
