==================== Type: Bases Bug: Docking with Trafalgar crashes the game and sends you back to the last base you were docked on. ====================
This happened to me and another player at the same time. We were both in transports. A third player that we know has complained about the same issue, also in transport. According to him, this happens with some other bases too. We didn't have this issue a few patches ago. The player who often uses Trafalgar has complained about this issue on 13th February, so it was probably introduced with Hotfix 2, on 12th.
Then I tested it with a snub, it didnt crash.
Now, I tried a 2nd attempt with the same transport, the game didnt crash.
I don't know if it's random or only happens on certain bases, or what causes it, but it's definitely annoying.

Yea, we've been lookin into this same style of CTD happening on a few other bases for a while, but so far it seems to be extremely random, which is making it pretty hard to narrow down and find a proper fix for. Any more information you can share would be pretty helpful. Which exact ships you were using, what systems you passed through and which other bases you had docked on during the same session, etc.
I got a little bit of information. I restarted as Freelancer in Coronado and than bought the Serenity there. I was traveling through the newcastle jumphole went to Manchester and than to New London. I tried to dock at Canary Whraft at new london planet and my game crashed by trying to dock at it. When I returned my character was in "New London" but by entering into the game I was back in Coronado. Hope this information might help I than docked in every system I went through and could dock without any crash at Canary Whraft. Maybe it has something to do that I have not explored that base before?
recorded my 3rd attempt to dock at Trafalgar. Was with exterminator yesterday when we both crashed. He was flying a corsairs transport iir and i was flying a raba. His fly patch was Crete undock - Halifax dock/undock - trafalgar (ctd dock) while mine was Cadiz undock - Halifax dock/undock - trafalgar (ctd dock).
Did the Halifax undock to Trafalgar 2 times this morning and recorded the last one. Both CTD as seen in the vid
Providing clear (removed or moved before opening game and crash testing) flspew.txt with crash log may help us to locate this bug. You can find the file in C:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Freelancer, to access this folder press win+r and type appdata, then proceed the remaining path personally and upload flspew to any file share service on your preference, or submit here in spoiler.
Send it to me in Discord or forum PM (I should have it open by now). Thanks in advance.

Type: Bases
Bug: Docking with Portsmouth Shipyard crashes the game and sends you back to the last base you were docked on.
====================
This has happened when traveling there with my Ryuujin Kusari Train loaded with Raw Hydrocarbons, as it is the sellpoint.
Ends game, shows still in Cambridge on picking character on reload, but then just loads at the base I started the run in. This has happened at random 4-5 times already, sometimes 2x in a row after a long trip.
Docking with Barge. Docking on a POB in Leeds. I am being kicked back to Holman. This has happened 3x. It is happening to other ships as well. Undocked barge from Holman, can dock a Barra anchorage. Left Barra and docked at the POB in Leeds and booted back to Barra. Cargo is water and RH.
