I personally have no idea, but I have used an alternative to that involving pickup and shootout rails. What's great about them is that when a ship leaves a shootout rail there is no 4 second delay before it is able to dock again, resulting in the possibility for an instant docking transfer.
Could you post a picture of how you've got that configured please? I also would like to try this out for myself.
T2372 Shootout rail launching at 45 degrees has been fixed.
I am just wondering, why that never gets mentioned, when people suggest this entity to entity movement in the suggestions forums.
The bug was fixed, but it has resurfaced again. Although yesterday when I was testing it out all of my entities were consistently being shot out backwards (rail points left, ship goes right). In the dev builds before this recent release, I was also having issues with entities on single shootout rails going in all kinds of crazy directions, from 90 degrees to the left, to straight up, to some really odd angles. AndyP has been made aware of the resurfaced bug, but hasn't done anything about it as of yet.
The twisting docked entities has been reported but there has been no reply.
The best way would be to message them yourself on some platform. Although, I could ask for you if you'd like.
So you mean that there is no re-dock delay of 4 seconds, but an undock delay of 4 seconds after I docked?
No, there is a re-dock delay of 4 seconds after you dock. You can undock instantly after docking, but it still has a delay before you could re-dock after initially docking.
I think the only way would be a new "transfer to other entity" undock rail, that only works, if there is a pickup point of the other entity near it, and instantly transfers the undocked entity onto that pickup point.
