Players in Elite Dangerous have reported a critical issue where stations are deploying far beyond their intended planetary orbits, sometimes tens of thousands of light-seconds away. This excessive distance disrupts colonization efforts and slows system development, affecting commanders focused on base building and expansion. The problem has gained traction on the official Frontier issues tracker as issue 86484, where players can vote to prioritize a fix. This bug impacts gameplay by complicating logistics and undermining the strategic placement of stations near planets.
- Stations deploy tens of thousands of light-seconds from planets.
- Issue 86484 open for community voting on Frontier tracker.
