This is weird:

I managed to escape from a fight with just a few HP left on my ship. Unfortunately, I chose to dock at a station that lacked repair facilities. Now, when I try to undock from the station, I am informed that I don't have the skill to fly the craft in that condition. Now what? Somebody in the help channel suggested I fit bulkheads and hull repairers, but that didn't seem to help at all.

Any ideas?

In an interesting twist, I received an email from Pend Insurance regretting the loss of my ship. However, while they did give me an Ibis, they never paided out the policy. Plus, I can still access my ship at the station. It seems to be caught between life and death.

Any help would be appreciated.

Petition it.

sometimes you can have negative armor hitpoints on your ship, fit a plate, so you can undock
happened to me. years ago, but it hapened

I went ahead and filed a petition...boy, those guys work fast! GM Arcade had me squirted me out of space dock in a matter of minutes so I could head to a repair station. Never filed a petition before but found the whole thing painless and very efficient.

Thanks for all the suggestions (and help, GM)!

This just in....discussing petitions okay.
And the responses.
Remember that everyone...when a GM screws up just point them to this post...you know where a gm replied and allowed it to stay unedited.

I was thinking about that problem - docking a badly damaged ship in a station with no repair service and being stuck.

Maybe CCP could write some Code into the game to add a 'Remote Repair' icon to the station services in the stations with no repair services.

'Remote Repair' service would be like calling up a mechanic to come to you. I think the repair fee should be twice as much as the regular fee and repair time should take anywhere from 1 to 3 hrs, depending on the ship hull class, weapon size or rig size.

1 hr repair = small
2 hr repair = medium
3 hr repair = large


If you don't want to pay the double repair fee and wait for the mechanic, then better make sure the station has a regular repair service before docking.

TIL GMs use alts to boost their forum e-reputation much like the players do!

Another idea: when your ship is badly damaged and you can't (won't) repair, the game should let you undock, but inform you that their is an X% chance that it will come apart and explode when entering warp.

Thank you for the kind words, I'll make sure to pass them along. As far as I know, the fix for this particular bug is scheduled to go out in the next patch.
