No, it's not. It's simply supposed to warp you to the station, and then dock. Warping works as normal, docking works as normal, being caught in-between the two works as normal. If your warp lands you within <2,500 of the docking radius, that is working as normal too because that's how WTZ always works. Quote:But there is a bug: Sometimes the game warps you too far away from the station to dock immediately, and you are vulnerable for several seconds. That is not a bug GÇö it's standard warp behaviour. Except CCP has reimbursed ships lost this way. I'll not say who or where, as I cannot discuss petitions. But it has happened, and my research indicates it has happened within the last month. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

Oh, and you can discuss petitions just fine GÇö you just can't quote personal GM communication. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

There's a new game called "Star Citizen" coming out in about a year or so. From what I've read, it's game mechanics may be more to your liking. But, until then, vOv. |

Ive had it happen. You uncloak when you are dumped 800 meters off the station. Before your ship moves that last 300 meters and starts docking, you get exploded. Hence: The need for quick dock bookmarks.
I've experienced where I've hit dock, the loading screen appears and then I was sitting in my pod.
Petitioned it, wasn't interested in getting anything back as it was just a frig, standard T2 fit with an empty cargo hold but was curious.
According to the GM when the loading screen appears your ship is still in space. So even thou you think you are safe, those 1 or 2 secs you are still sitting in space. |

Wild @ss idea CCP should of stuck with, to stop the whining so the forum hamster's don't have to be running 24/7 with only a short break.
1. No market skills, its seeded straight from NPC source. NPC isk sink? You all whine about SOANDSO and XYZ factor type makes to much isk......well, if you stop trading it around now its just a grind to be able to afford to fly anything. CCP can at anytime just raise/lower the cost as needed.
2. Industry skills...seriously why would anybody waste their damn time with that boring grind. Minesweeper and Solitaire are more complex then the sit in asteroid belt, target rock, hit F1, wait till hold full, blow up to random bored dude hiding in high sec cause he can't take being blown up in low/null (this isn't the miner, this is the ganker...cause he is protected by CONCORD). And the POS set up....second job, games are for fun not a second grind.
3. Trade skills....remove them. Contracts. Remove them. Everything is NPC seeded, NPC isk sink, CCP discretion when something is to cheap and/or expensive.
4. ???
5. Problem solved. Less interaction through scams, less whining from dudes who should already know how EVE is meant to play (paranoid, don't lose what you cannot afford), more PEW PEW without the stupid obvious traps set up that induce the whines.
Like I said, wild @ss idea. Just lock target and explode people, don't need to lead them on to catch them.

Rookie here, just trying to understand the mistake for my own purposes. Let's exclude the "shoulda used an alt/not accept the obvious scam" dialogue.
OK, guy is with his cloaked hauler, and in the system where he wants to dock and selects the dock option.
From what I understand, you lose cloak when you initiate dock and/or are within 2 KM of any object. Some say a bookmark should be set beside the station and that you should warp there and dock. In either case, you're in range of the ganker, so I guess we're somehow talking about which approach saves you a tiny bit of time docking which may save yor buns.
If someone just took the dock approach, I am guessing that you might not immediately be in docking range and/or the gankers might be camped in that jump location to force a decloak as soon as you exit warp and start blasting before a dock procedure can be engaged/completed.
Am I understanding this correctly? Sorry...rookie here. Just might be cheaper for me to learn from OTHER people's mistakes than my own. :) |

Some stations have terrible docking ranges, in other words when you hit dock you will land just outside the docking range so you will have to fly for a few seconds before you can dock.
What they did to this guys was actually very clever.
They chose a system which was at the end of a pipe so could see him coming way before he actually arrived in system, giving them plenty of time to setup.
Also the stations in that system have horrible docks / undocks.
Rule of thumb is always scout out a route / system with an alt before using it, if you do not have an alt then grab a frig and make a few BM's to minimise the risk. |

see your first mistake was doing the hauling on the same character that accepted the contract. You forgot rule #1, trust no one.
I don't haul often, but when I do, it's certainly not with the character that accepted the contract. |

Why should CCP provide protection for your haulage in high sec?
CONCORD offer a level of deterrent just the same as any law enforcement agency, but as with any police for they're reactive and punitive rather than proactive.
If you want your haulage to be safer, bring the guns. If you don't have any guns, sacrifice some of your profit margin and hire someone who has them to escort you.
Welcome to New Eden, you just learned a very valuable lesson in being prepared and covering your back.

I know this is not this case... but come on... freighter ganking is too much easy this days, it is just stupid to see empty freighters get ganked in high sec just for the lolz..

Ganking that Tornado before warp in would have worked perfectly fine. They're not exactly the tankiest ships around.
Otherwise, Grab a Web, Grab a Blackbird, Grab RR. Have someone in fleet put a frigate deep into the docking circle and warp to them so you don't end up off station.
Bringing friends takes many different forms, and the most effective form may differ for different situations. In this case, guns would have worked great. "It's easy to speak for the silent majority.

That whole loss could have been avoided by warping in at 100 (or 75 or 50 for variety) while cloaked and spotting the Tornado on grid. Then you move a few km off center, post ":P" in local and go for a coffee. Sovereignty and Population New Mining Mechanics |
