Players on the Elite Dangerous subreddit report that a recent update has worsened the docking computer's reliability, especially on larger ships like the unshielded Panther Clipper MK II. Commanders experience docking computer failures about one in five attempts, resulting in collisions with stations during both arrival and departure phases. Some encounters include multiple crashes in a single docking sequence, causing varying degrees of damage. An auto-depart feature malfunction was also noted, causing a collision while waiting in queue. This affects pilots relying on automation for safer, smoother docking procedures.
- Increased crash frequency on larger ships using docking computer
- Auto-depart feature can cause collisions while queued
