Transports getting stuck

1

There are two bugs where transports (that you need to escort, hence I place this in assignments) can get stuck and not move on to their destination:

  1. One of their escorts gets stuck somewhere. While the escort is alive but out of range of the transport it will not move.

Workaround is to lead pirates there to kill it or disable station protection and kill it yourself, taking the karma hit and the criminal flag. Depending on the location you may also be able to ram it out of its position.

  1. One escort blocks the transport. That is what happened here with the leftmost escort ship trying to fly straight through the transport:

While the transport still has an engine trail for trying to move it didn’t actually move a millimeter.

Workaround was to ram that escort away from the transport (thx for station protection) for things to get moving again.

I most often see the transporter vessels stuck with no escort ships left alive anywhere. We have to wait until reds kill it to cause a fresh one to come out of a gate some minutes later. It is looking like they don’t expire once reds have killed all the escorts. Players kill off the reds. The invalid, un-escortable vessel remains there indefinitely.
