Up to Oolite 1.77 this mean knock-knock and some reduction in shields, but since 1.80 mean BOOM and press space as reported. Fortunately main stations has larger dock since 1.80 but landing in any OXP stations which still use the original smaller dock give big challenges with this ship.Frunobulax wrote:So, what happens then?Norby wrote:the big wings can easily hit the bottom of the dock during landing.

Perfectly said.Another good reason to fly a smaller ship or at least a ship with not such a large front/rear profile. Cobra 3 (width) at a rock hermit is also dangerous.
I don't suppose the behaviour is intentional though ?

Is it? In that case, I'll have to stop docking on Torus!Anonymissimus wrote:Cobra 3 (width) at a rock hermit is also dangerous.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

I have blown up once IIRC. That's enough. Harmless (0) at Lave!Cody wrote:Is it? In that case, I'll have to stop docking on Torus!Anonymissimus wrote:Cobra 3 (width) at a rock hermit is also dangerous.
4 metres free on each side according to the wiki. More than with the heighth and a Boa cruiser at a main dock still.

Re: Imperial courier
I gathered these dock sizes once:
In Oolite 1.77 (W x H x L):
Main stations: 192.000 x 64.000 x 250.000
Rock-hermit: 138.001 x 138.001 x 250.120
Since 1.79:
cori: 241.888 x 103.412 x 250.000
dodo: 210.362 x 81.027 x 250.000
ico: 238.546 x 82.108 x 273.278
rock: 194.688 x 108.567 (64.8m at sides) x 253.500
The width of a Cobra3 is 130m so you have 4m in old hermits, but new rocks leave 32m for docking on Torus.
