PULSE ENGINE OFF LINE- SPACE STATION PROXIMITY

Has anyone had issues with "Pulse Engine off line space station proximity" since the update?

I have noticed that I now am stuck anywhere from 1.5 minutes to over 3 minutes away from the space station not able to pulse there whereas before you could pulse less than 2 minutes away.
its just a pain to now have to hold the boost button for 3 minutes just to get to the space station. I have found that aiming slightly above the station for to the side allows you to pulse and then hit stop immediately then boost back for 30sec instead of 3 minutes.

I can pulse to pretty much the edge of any space station, so you do have an issue but whats causing it, I couldnt tell you.

I see it now and then when close to a station or fleet. Just move a little away.

Yeah I tried that and a few other things, it isn't a game breaker but just one more of those little annoyances.

I agree. It is annoying.

It makes sometimes a big difference to what direction you are aiming, the same is on planets.

THat being said, I have never run into this problem. It sure seems really annoying though.

Someting upbated not to long ago maybe 11/2 months, I thoughtit was some minor adj or someting. I went to play and had to wait a few seconds for it to update.

It just means that you can't warp in close proximity to space stations, atlas interfaces, freighters and planets. But I have no issues or annoyance with that - a quick burst and/or a heading adjustment and you should be clear to warp.

He's talking about it literally not letting him pulse upwards of 3 minutes away from the space station.
Which is a bug.

I can't confirm this is a bug, nor you can't, can you? He still might be pointing into some obstacles. As soon as I leave the space station I can warp directly to a planet. No need to first burst 3 mins away from space station. So, if it's not a navigation error, what else could it be? OP, did you check the file integrity, or delete/rebuild the shader cache?

It's only a bug if other can recreate it... Which I have over 2000 hours in the game and have never encountered what is being described...

I can literally pulse to within a second of a space station. There is something else going on here...But I doubts it's a bug with the game.

It helps to have perspective when things aren't working as planned but this would be such a tedious and unnecessary bug. Hopefully after a reset/exiting and relaunch things will be back to normal.

I have a few mods but removed all and it still happens, it is erratic and doesn't happen all the time but has for about 1 1/2 months.

No I am not doing a time shift in my home""Originally posted by Finnerty:

I checked file verification and no change. Like I said its not a game breaker, just annoying.

Ok, I hope it gets better in the next system for you. If it happens again you could provide us a signal booster address or portal glyphs from that or the next system and some of us could jump in and try to reproduce the issues. Maybe we can find something.

I will do that.
