Ship change on re-log

[Sim_Ian]

Hi All

 

I am curious as to why when i log out and rejoin a game it never puts me back in the ship i was in when i logged out. I have three ships in the starter sector, A salvage vessel, a mining ship and a defense ship which i usually pilot. When i log back in I'm usually not in the defense ship i was in when i left, in fact I'm sure it finds the ship that is the furthest away to put me in and i have to spend the first 10 to 20 minutes traversing the sector to get back to the correct ship, then get the other ship to escort me back to it's working area.

 

Could it not save the ship you are actually in when you leave, and reload it when you rejoin?

Known problem, unfortunately. What I do is make sure all my ships have a captain, so I can 'Escort Me' the ship I want to actually be in to the ship I got spawned in.

 

Also make sure the orders for the ship you spawned in are still correct (or just re-order it). Sometimes it forgets the orders, sometimes it doesn't. I have no idea why or when.
