User key doesn't run

After today conquest of Latos I-8 user key doesn't run for about half an hour till now. Even with all options checked.

Confirmed. It's like it used to be. You have to get everyone out of the sector for 15 minutes to let the sector reset and then the user keys work again. This is highly annoying and detrimental to station conquest gameplay. Also, it looks like "IFF" and "Can Dock" get switched off automatically after a key is reactivated. This is annoying too.

Hmm. ok. How is this reproduced? Once the key works, how/when does it stop working?

When someone reconquers a station and reactivates an old key, the user key doesn't work until the sector resets. Basically, the problem occurs immediately after a turnover. It may also happen with a newly generated key, but I can't vouch for that.

Thanks.

You're welcome. The reason that it's a really big problem is that when you first take a station, if the previous defenders start trying to immediately take it back, none of your user-key-holders can help defend because they can't dock and the turrets shoot at them. So, it's a pretty big deal.

It's by design that the User Keys don't get access by default.

Anyways, tonight's update will fix the problem with turrets shooting User Key holders if the key's IFF access is set until the sector is restarted.

I was able to dock with a User Key when the station was conquered though (after the can dock access was set for the key).
