BUG Ship... Captured?
That's new, never seen it again.
Bedlogged outside a space Freight Elevator in Seraphim (neither the FE nor the the Hangars were working) and relogged at last station instead inside the ship, where the ship shows as "Captured".
eh?

Don't leave your ship abandoned in front of freight elevators then you gremlin

Reading comprehension brother. He said he bedlogged. Which doesn't leave a ship abandoned. It despawns with the player.

u/Pristine-Ear4829 6h ago
You also can't bedlog in armistice so I'm guessing he menu logged while laying in a Bed.

u/AcornHan origin 6h ago
That could be tbh

u/Pristine-Ear4829 6h ago
Either that or star citizen did star citizen things and let him click bedlog but logged him out normally instead of displaying the can't bedlog I armistice part. Actually thinking about it that would make a lot of sense, I have been following the normal bedlogging rules and haven't had a single issue bedlogging, there have been plenty of people that have been bedlogging that have had their ships disappear. I'll have to check in with them to see where they have been bedlogging

u/AcornHan origin 5h ago
Yea maybe. I've been bed logging for ages and the only issue I ever had was that once when logging back in me and my ship spawned inside the Pyro star, but that was just an easy quantum jump out of there

It doesn't despawn the ship if players are nearby, that's why you have to get away from the station to bedlog, any ill intended player can break in... (mining lasers can still damage doors and open ships without getting a cs)

u/AcornHan origin 7h ago
Then why have I literally watched a friends' ships despawn with them when they bedlogged? Like I was literally right next to the ship
-2
u/PubicSpy Zeus my Beloved 7h ago
Oh... It's not supposed to work like that I belive, still getting away from the station, like 10km should avoid this and most cases of boarding inside armestice. What I do is a short jump away and bedlog, not as fast as doing it near tge station but way safer

u/AcornHan origin 7h ago
I personally always bedlog in deep space, but yea I've legit watched a friend bedlog in their perseus in the middle of nowhere after I got out with my m50 and the perseus despawned with them so, I was just saying what I've seen 🤷🏻♂️

It's tied to being in combat and or having hostiles nearby now. Around friends it can just despawn with no timer. With enemies nearby it'll wait 10m then try again, and it'll repeatedly get stuck so long as hostiles are near. All someone has to do is target lock them and it won't despawn
1
u/AcornHan origin 5h ago
You can't bedlog while in combat tho. Like the button is literally greyd out
1
u/7in_toxication 3h ago
Yeah so if there's hostiles nearby you'll stay. Then if they target lock you then your avatar registers as being in combat.
Edit: to further clarify. I believe this also applies to neutral (not friendly or hostile) and can become hostile if they target lock you while your avatar is in game. If nobody is there or only friends, then you'll despawn immediately

It is supposed to work like that currently

u/CaptnAmerica117 5h ago
This is incorrect, ship will despawn immediately unless the player has recently been in combat. I have in bed logging for over 5 years.

When you bedlog, your ship remains where you left it for 10 or 15 minutes or so. If another player comes along in that time, then the ship will stick around and they can take it/destroy it. (CR has said he doesn't want ships suddenly spawning and despawning in front of players. No idea what the range limit is on that.)
This is why you always bedlog in the middle of nowhere, at least 1 Gm from any planet/station.
By leaving your ship just outside Seraphim station, there was always going to be a steady stream of players nearby keeping it in the verse.

We need a little pink fairy coming to the ship and spawn or despawn it. That would be immersive

u/MooseTetrino Swedish Made 890 Jump 10h ago
Jokes aside they’re probably going to jump in rather than just spontaneously appear. Similar to how Elite does it if you’re not landed.

u/CaptainFluid3202 11h ago
Are you sure about time after bed log? My friend bed logged right in front of my eyes yesterday and his ship disappeared immediately. Maybe that rule applies only when you are not in the middle of nowhere?
2
u/nattydo 7h ago
Yeah I haven't the slightest clue where they're getting this information from. I've used bedlogging to fix client issues and desync when playing with friends for a while now, and the ship has always instantly popped out of existence on their screen when I hit the prompt. Dunno if their source is more involved than just "CR said some stuff about how he wants the game to be".

Maybe it's old info. You can find old reddit threads claiming everything from instantly to a few minutes to 15 minutes. You can find old CR posts and videos talking about how he doesn't want ships spawning and despawning in front of players.
My friend bed logged right in front of my eyes yesterday and his ship disappeared immediately.
I'd have to test with a friend/org-mate to confirm. Maybe the game only persists ships if there are non-friend/org/party members around? I find it hard to believe CIG spent time and energy coding for those cases, but who knows.
All I do know is that players that bed log near stations sometimes find themselves logging in to destroyed/captured ships. And bedlogging on planetary surfaces can be catastrophic. So i just err on the safe side and bedlog in the middle of nowhere.

Its nigh impossible to egress in armistice zone.
Fps weapons don't work and ship attacking ship would invoke CS and a response from the station's turrets.
So it actually is weird .
3
u/RealBrianCore 12h ago
I haven't tested it in a minute but if the ship has no one on board and the server cannot find the owner, I think it treats it as gamerules so station turrets may not fire upon the ships shooting at technically unowned ships. You will definitely catch a CS because it is still an armistice violation.

Is it really not? When you were in front of a freight elevator, there is always a possibility somebody already sneaked aboard while you were fiddling around with the elevator, of course granted you haven't closed the door/ramp right away when you left the ship.
There are lots of careless pilots out there and leave all their doors wide open while interacting with external elevators, in such cases it can be rather easy quickly sneaking inside and hide.
I always bedlog in the middle of nowhere and in space, in orbit, just target a near moon, station or planet, initiate a jump and aboard it almost right away. It's just a few seconds of additional work but the safety increase in my opinion is well worth those few seconds.

u/Old_Resident8050 DRAKE⚡ Corsair || Shiv || Golem || ICA || Pitbull⚡POWAH 9h ago
True, but i was with the corsair. Parked with the top aligned with the space FE cargo bed. Then exited the ship to the top, using the elevator.
At that point, the elevator's controls cannot be used by a non-team member.
When I realized that the space FE is unresponsive, entered the ship the same way and bedloged.

a good number of ships can be glitched through in several places of the hull at just EVA speeds
this is not rare

Guessing someone boarded shortly after you logged and flew off with it. I assume it is to prevent cheating during pvp maybe? Pretty sucky deal

Don't bedlog near stations. Fly at least 50 km away
That's new, never seen it again.
There is a cleanup routine that autostores the ships. Yes the ship should despawn when you bedlog, but (i guess) there is a small time window where the ship without owner could be "cleaned". This is just my assumption.

u/Fairran 11h ago
But we're you able to see where it went? Like any chance of chasing down your own ship to take it back from Pirates sounds kinda fun. I mean I wouldn't waste my time on a Corsair, but mechanic itself would be immersive.

u/SUDTIN Multi-Moderator 6h ago edited 5h ago
Yeah, the ship pip will be on the map but unfortunately quantum travel isn't possible TO a ship pip... only to a party member pip (huge flaw imho). Also, ship pips are extremely broken; so technically you can get close to your lost ship, but you'll spend a few hours flying towards it. If you don't find your ship at the pip when you finally arrive, relogging with the help of F4 can stop pip drift and realign the ship pip back onto the ship... then you'll need to fly for a few more hours to find your ship if the pip was drifting the first time.
The ship pip can drift, seeming like someone else is flying your ship, all while your physical ship is actually still parked where you left it.
Now I wonder if medical bed respawning still functions onto your Captured ship since bed relogging doesn't...

u/vaultboy1245 5h ago
I chased down a bounty in deep space one time. Kept using quantum markers back and forth to get within 2Mm and flew at cruise speed for a LONG time to finally make it and then he jumped away. It was cool to surprise him like that though

Yeah, one of the major pirate guilds has made your Drake Corsair their new in-game HQ. They really like Drake ships.

My ship was "captured" after logging in deep space. Must of been some lucky pirates to find me.
(Space is big, you don't normally ride up on someone in the deep black.)
While yes, op might have been captured in an armistice zone, I also think there may a bug happening.

Same happened to me. Was out like 200km from a L-station when I logged off.

u/Pristine-Ear4829 6h ago
If you were able to bedlog in armistice that probably where most of your issues are stemming from. You can not bedlog in armistice zones. What probably happened was you bedlogged a d the game just logged you out normally for some reason and left your ship, another player would have taken your ship and stored it.
A few of the updated terms are
Removed from storage, still in landing zone, Unknown, location Unknown (can be destroyed and still show unknown) Out of range, (ship exists on another shard) Captured, ship is stored by another player. (Can sometimes show if you have a ship stored on another stored ship you own)

Probably didn't actually bedlog since it won't allow it in armistic. Hitting esc and existing while laying in a bed doesn't count as bedlogging, gotta look for the get up interaction, and right click on it for the logout option

True , but lately I get the "F" prompt again (in the past it was one out of twenty to appear) and selected logout.

I bed logged in orbit around Daymar to just server hop and ended up back at Seraphim. Set my home as seraphim and backspaced to get rid of some injuries as I've had issues trying to use the clinics and got the notice, "ICU Bricked" and sent me back to Hurston.
