'Another ship has taken control' problem and solution.

Suicide Neil shared this bug ago

Outdated

When you landing gear onto another ship, that ship should take control as YOU are connected to IT.

What actually happens:

Other ships connect to you via their landing gears, if any of them have a Cockpit set as Main Cockpit then that ship will take control of all the others/ the 'host' ship. This is obviously undesired behaviour- the ships that connect via landing gear should have control taken over them by the ship they are connected to, not the other way around.

Fix please.

I have the same bug

Seems like some details are missing, I can't replicate this.

Tried with a smallship landing gearing onto a smallship with main cockpit set as well as a large grid with main cockpit set, neither took control from my ship.

Both craft need to be piloted at the same time- was an issue with large grid ships too ( not small + large ).

It seems to be triggered typically based on what order people jump into control seats or cockpits maybe, hard to say since in the example above, the main ship is already piloted, but as soon as the last person jumps into their ship/control seat, the main ship loses control and people have to keep jumping in and out of seats before control is restored.

This is of course, over-looking the occasional 'seat with a higher priority' control issue that locks out the controls on ships with no other ships attached- that's a thing that needs fixing too, but I digress...

Yeah, the example I linked to is a couple months old, the example I couldn't find was on last weeks video- it's very much random and not exactly something that can be easily replicated.

So will this be fixed in another 3 years? Or how long is the patience you mention?

This bug also happens when you have multiple seats on ships. Can't control any turret from any other seat than the main cockpit one. And depending who seats first (in one of 3 more control seats) I can't even control the ship from the main cockpit.
