So this is what happened (maybe this should be moved to the mod bug forum, dunno) I was in my trader moving from dublin to the ring, everythinh was fine, i made it smoothly, when I dock at the ring my connection goes to hell for tea-time and I got disconnected, when O recover my connection, I find my self docked, didnt check where I was cause I thought i had docked correctly at the Ring, I soold my gold and the game kinda froze, I didnt get the credits, I bought back the gold but didnt get the cargo but didnt get my cargo neither any credits rebalance and the buy button dissapeared, then all of a sudden the connection crashes, I relog and find my self with full cargo again, I didnt lose my credits, then I see that "The ring" is buying my goods at 500, I check my nav map and voila , I was at Dublin.

I didnt lose or win anything, but I was surprised to see that I was teleported back to Dublin, anyone knows what could have happened? just curious.

Wow. Just wow.

The worst ive seen is trying to buy a ship and it takes your money.
But this...
Just wow.

So after taking a break for about a year I've decided to get back in to Disco. So yeah.

Dock crash, old bug. Happens rare and randomly now but before it used to happen when you took a trade lane that someone had destroyed the turret on.

everytime you sell something, the game communicates with the server in order to save the credits to your account.
if the game lags out immediately after you dock, you wont see the red indicator when your docked, and the server cant give you your credits. but the game still thinks you sold the goods. so it looks like it transferred, but the server couldnt save the credits to your account.

when the game finally exited, the server put your character back in the last position with the cargo, since that was the last thing it saved.

thats why the admins encourage docking before you log off, the server isnt guaranteed to save your position in space. most of the time it does, but apparently sometimes it doesnt, as in your case.\


thats my take on it....

well Im sure I docked and probably you are right with the lag thing, but what is surprising is appearing back at dublin, I was at the ring I mean, its a long trip. but whatever I didnt lose anything, just a bit surprised
