Movement Control of Large Grid Lost After Small Grid Docks

I will attempt to keep this as small of an explanation as possible.


In Multiplayer, DS, I have a large grid ship. I dock a small miner ship to it via connector to offload and recharge.


A large percentage of the time, i will then lose all control of my large ship. Sitting in the large ship's cockpit, no thruster or gyro controls will work. The sound effects will start, but nothing happens.


The only way i have seen to fix this issue was to save and restart the world. (getting very annoying for my family, who also are having similar issue.) Sometimes more than once, before the large grid will have control over itself again. Un/Re-docking the small ship does not fix the problem.


I have seen this issue reported on other mediums, but i havent seen it posted here. No fixes other than world restart had been found there either.


I can provide more information or world if need be. This problem is grinding my servers progress down with the constant restarts.

I cant be the only one with this issue. Its so prevalent in my world. It happens several times a session.


I only have a few (4) weapon mods, Admittedly i haven't tested without them, but i dont see how that could remotely effect the control of the ship. Especially when the smaller ship has no mods at all.

Okay i simply do not know what is happening. I cannot replicate this in another world. Even though it is multiplayer and it is the same ships involved. I cannot recreate it. Survival or Creative. However, in the original server, it is still happening.


The only thing i can think of, is that it is some strange synchronization issue when i have my family playing, as i cannot seem to replicate it while i am by myself.


Both ships are owned by me, shared to my faction. all other players are in my faction. It only seems to happen when another one of my group docks the smaller ship, not me.

Okay, i finally figure it out.


However, it is still a bug.


On a Dedicated server. If you connect to a Station with a small ship (controlled by someone other than the server host), and then try to convert the Station to a Ship, you will not have control. the only way is to relog.


I will post this in a more concise manner as a separate issue.
