Which of the bases are still giving you issues docking at. Should we revert all GT bases back to the Research model??.

As far as the core goes the only things I can do to help docking issues is increasing the size of the station or changing the model. The last time i checked the faction win (when it was working) GT was doing terribly, I'd hate that to be cause of the stations.

Most GT station models are atrocious. I believe the EXP and Palisade are the most difficult (or are at least why I allegorically find most difficult)

The Tac door is still nearly impossible. I would recommend that one to be up for change.

Most of the GT models are "accurate" but they aren't very forgiving. Other factions if you get in a certain range of the green door and it sucks you in. With GT you will bounce off the "lip" of the door. Tac is def. the worst.

It's not exactly the same topic, but could you fix the gt bases hitboxes as well? Garrison comes to mind in particular, I bounced a lot of times of its invisible walls.

Hitboxes are actually very closley related to the doors (you dock by colliding with the part of the hitbox enclosed in the door), you could fix both at the same time.

I personally never had too much docking once I worked out where I needed to ram to dock (i.e. docking sideways while boosting was a fairly reliable operation).

I never really liked seeing the same model for everything. If there is something which really needs changing, then change the model, but plan to get the original fixed in the future.
They could all be modified anyway since some parts of the CVH stick out un expectedly . Ramaglor made a new gar CVH, he might be able to do the other bases too.

Otherwise try fixing the players.

I like the freaky butt-ugly models, and would be sad to see them go. Some of the doors do still need work though.

Don't just look at GT, Rix is also notorious, especially the Exp and the SY.

The Belters bases can be a bit tetchy too. Or maybe I just suck at docking at them.
