I am sorry guys, but I don't think this is a bug.
I myself have had a lil trouble from time to time when I am not paying attention to what I am doing... but in my opinion its just part of the game.
ItĘs like asking why can't I shoot through asteroids?... Can you shoot through rocks in RL? (I know that we can't yet travel at light speed in RL either; but we do know we can't travel through things) I think we should just thank CCP for not having the game set up to where we have to drive all the way around a station before plotting our course or risk getting bumped out of warp all together. ItĘs like backing out of a parking space and then asking god to change RL physics because you dented the car behind you because you weren't paying attention. I say learn the ways of the universe or don't leave the station. 
To this day I haven't lost one ship and I've been in some really bad ways. I am mostly a hauler/miner. I travel out to 0.0 space all the time... but you know what? I take into consideration the rules of the game. We haulers don't have to worry about much if we know what we are doing. Same thing applies here; you don't have anything to worry about if you know what you are doing.

I know that and I take that into consideration before I hit that lil yellow button.
What is so hard about that? I've never had a problem. I've been playing for a very long time.

Quote: And BTW Cynn, if you have been playing this game for a long time, I'm sure you've noticed that you go through planets and anything else in the way during warp? Why should you therefore initiate warp and still have to navigate your way round anything?
I just role-play things out; like I do all other weird lil quarks. I don't run to CCP and ***** about it. I consider it like this: since the ship is traveling at light speed it can therefore travel through any other dense form of matter just as long as the nav. computer knows not to stop in the middle of it... they are totally unharmed. i.e. ever seen a perfectly untouched piece of straw driven through a board after a tornado?... same fore instance, larger scale.
Quote: Also you CAN shoot through asteroids, its only missiles that interact with asteroids. (they suck in every other respect so why not make them the only weapon that can be sheltered from too. )
Now that I didn't realize. I thought asteroids prohibited all fire. I don't ever get caught in bad situations near the rocks. I know how to haul and maneuver my ship.
... As for getting stuck on things that you aren't even touching: supposedly all things in this game have a magnetic pull of some magnitude (including asteroids/stations)... so if you fly too close you get stuck.

On your first point I am going to refer to my previous post where I said I role-play it out as I see fit. I never said it had any relevance with what we "believe" happens while we are warping.
Quote: oh, and considering the speed and acceleration of these ships there's no way in hell the gravity of a asteroid or a space station would have any effect on them
The reason we get stuck is because for a few seconds before our warp drive initiates; we have to turn our thrusters/ABs completely off. Which means a full stop.
Then again I am just playing/role-playing the hand that CCP has delt me.
Not whining on the forums.

Tis' no worries Sweetie. I was just feeling a lil saucy and thought I would drop by and rile things up a lil bit. (From the looks of it; I seem to be achieving my set goal. )
I love every aspect of this game bugs and all. I can understand posting about something once. But to have a roast/gang of people posting about things CCP already knows aboutą just doesn't make sense to me.
They talk about wasting time getting stuck on stations. How much time have they wasted whining about it here?
