I think this should be in the thousand paper cuts thread but owell.
Is it just me that gets irritated by the fact that when I warp to a station there is a 50/50 chance I land about 4-5km away or actually on 0 and insta dock.
Is this actually meant? Is CCP trying to give people the chance to catch someone just before they dock? I mean 4-5km really dosen't make much difference for any sub cap ship, could althought see how it would effect capitals.
I dunno, I just feel that its an annoying thing if your in a slow ass freighter or a hauler. Shouldn't it be 100% 0km range all the time or always 4-5km?
So whats everyones views? --------------------------------------------- LAZA POWA!

There is nothing special about a warp to a station.
All warps are inaccurate by up to 2.5km iirc.
The reason for this is so that gang warps dont all end up with all the ships clustered on top of one another and therefore causing a huge bump fest at the end of the warp.
If you want to make sure you land in docking range , make a bookmark on the station undock or other suitable location and warp to that instead.
If its a new station and you think you may get ganked , warp to the moon/planet at a random range first so that you can check the station with your dscanner.

Edited by: Vacille on 23/02/2011 22:27:34 I'm well aware of how to avoid getting ganked.
I know warps are inaccurate to a certain extent but it shouldn't be with stations because sometimes it screws up the actual docking process. --------------------------------------------- LAZA POWA!

Or maybe there should be some risk involved unless you make the neccecery preparations.

Well see there isin't much risk anyway tbh, its just something I found as a minor annoyance.

There is a non-public skill Warp Accuracy - wish they would make it public.

The more annoying situation and one that should be addressed is telling it to warp/dock at the station. When it arrives at a distance it heads to the station but forgets that it was supposed to dock. That's annoying.
This signature is useless, but it is red.

Thats basically more what I meant, thats what gets on my nerves mostly. --------------------------------------------- LAZA POWA!

Back in time when it was useful to try ganking people when they landed at stations they used to do warp to 0 bookmarks at station undocks so they never landed off the docking range.

I agree warp to 0 with station should always land the jumper within docking range.
All stations have a freaking gigantic '0m distance' radius. Only a damn ****** would make it so ships always 'warp to 0' at the edge of it, especially since warp inaccuracy is well known.

They still do that... in highsec, of all places. Tengus can be one volleyed by BS with a rack of 1400s. Suicide gankers wait off station in direction with a gate for ones that drop out of warp to a full stop, now that all the carebears had instaundock bms. Wait at undock in a shuttle in Irjune or Motsu, and you will see all the tengus warping into the undock, where presumably the jet can had been. It's a head-scratcher.
