No Control of Large Ship after Station Conversion if Small Grid docked to station

SangurianSoul shared this bug 3 years ago
Outdated

Okay, this is an oddly specific set of circumstances, but it happened so often to me and my family it has become very annoying.


The core of the problem is losing all control over the movement of grid, with the only way to regain control is to reload the world.


Here is the order of the occurrence, (completely replicatable without fail on my end)


1. Multiplayer (dedicated server)

2. At least 2 players

3. Large Grid (Station) + Small Grid

4. With no one in control seats on the Station, Dock Small Grid (Using Connector) with a player who is not the server host.

-- If someone is in a control seat on the station during the process, everything works as intended.

-- If the server host is the one to dock the small ship to the station, everything works as intended.

5. Upon changing the Large Grid from Station to Ship, no key inputs work for movement.


At all. Re/Un-docking the small grid changed nothing. Switching back to station then back to ship does nothing. "Main Cockpit" Settings in any combination changes nothing. We are all in the same faction. I own both ships, with every block shared to faction. Remote control blocks change nothing in any combination. The only way to regain control of the Large Grid is to reload the world.


This issue was discovered in a MP-DS world with my family. I host. We have Big Red and the Starter Miner. My brother always flew the miner. We would stop Red and convert to station to keep him still and conserve power and FPS. When my brother (in the miner) docked to Red, we would lose all movement keys on Red when we turned him back to a ship.


After attempting to replicate in another world, i finally got the "Another ship has taken control" notification, which i never got in the original world, which lead me to experiment into finding the exact cause of the issue,
