Ships drifting away from space station

[specialforcesguy]

Ships keep drifting away from my space station, like a 1000 blocks away.

anyone know what causes this?

Space 1km away from your base isn\'t in the same sector so any ship core parked outside that radius will appear to float away. They are not actually moving though and might eventually swing back around.



Solution is simple, park them closer to your base ^^ I belive it is the location of the ship core that counts as the point that has to be within a certain distance - your ship can still stretch beyond the border of the sector and be counted as inside of your own.



In short: sectors move, park your ships closer.

thing is this happens when my ships are like 5-10 blocks away from the station

your ships ae probabbly getting bumped by mobs. dock your ships to your station.

Sounds like you have put your station on the edge of a sector, next time, try pressing C and moving so that you are looking directly at the next sector across, and 1.3km away from it, then jump out and start building, you will be in the middle of the sector.

If you didn\'t dock a boat in real life, it would float away then, too.
