Dau G11 -- roid placement

Apr 19, 2005 mr_spuck link
Not a big deal .. but it looks bad ... :P

There's this one rock in the sector that a lot of NPC atlases, who try to dock with station, get stuck at.
It has a concarve side that's facing away from the entries, making it the perfect bot trap.

Spinning the roid by a few degrees is probably enough to make the bots happy (without messing with the ai).

A better solution would probably be to tweak the AI a little bit. This was happening a lot when the latest AI update occurred, but the bots adapted and moved on. Not sure why they're stuck now. I may visit them and see if I can persuade them to move.

Okay I scooted them off and they docked. I'll check back and see if any more get stuck after this.

There will. :)
I kicked three free yesterday. 10 Minutes later another two were hugging the roid.
