A commander in Elite Dangerous recently experienced a serious failure of the auto-docking system while approaching a Coriolis station. Instead of aligning properly, the auto-dock missed the mailslot by a wide margin, almost resulting in a collision with the station's outer ring. This incident underscores that although auto-docking is generally reliable, significant glitches can still occur, putting ships and cargo at risk. Players should remain alert during docking procedures to avoid costly damage or loss, especially in busy or complex stations. The event was reported on June 24, 2026, reminding the community that vigilance remains essential despite automation.
