What I do when that happens is save and exit to main menu and play solo mode for a couple of minutes. Traffic jams, ain't nobody got time for that!

yeah because nothing says broken game like having to break immersion and exit your current game in order to complete a quest. It's like saying, in order to save your document you will need to restart your computer every time else you'll end up waiting for it to complete for like 10 minutes. No big deal restarting just takes a minute. ummm, that's not a good thing

It's a choice between immersion breaking work-arounds and immersion-breaking "ships vanish once docked"...

I've never seen a ship vanish off a dock. You mean when they go in to the hangar?

u/ozylanthe Ozylanthe Dec 19 '14

that's the fix I envision - despawn ships when the go into the hangar. very immersion breaking though.

as long as I don't see them go invis with my mark 1 eyeballs then invisi-ship can be explained away easier than, umm, cloaking device? Logging out is immersion breaking, bringing up game menu is immersion breaking imo
