I've had huge amount of ships in the same sector yet I never saw this happen.

Does this happen frequently, and is it always the same ship that has it?
Since when did you see this start happening?

Server is GenX btw so I know you can get server config

more information gathered shows that it only happens after a server restart and its only if you spawn into that sector after a server restart. Tested this on loading a sector not spawning and the problem doesnt happen. Recognised by a few other people, going to try and get information from them about when and how it happened to them too

Length is around 3 months, dont think it was triggered by any particular update

While I have never "experienced" this myself (My builds have been immune to it luckily) it happens a lot with certain players of the Shattered Skies server, with builds that use lots of closely-docked turrets and other entities.

Its a frustrating bug, as it both causes lag for the server(s), and requires the player to scrap down their ship in a shipyard and then respawn it via BP or Yard

I have a single large mass ship with many docked entities in single player, sometimes bits undock which due to collisions means that I can actually can't spawn into the game. Note this only happens when I start single player. I can tell cause you can see the HUD markers as you try to spawn, my nav is set to not show docked or turrets. Instead of one green I have multiple. I think it has something to do with the save of the game since some saves are good and some saves have pieces undocked. So I make backup copies my worlds to find out if when I exited the game last I have a good save or not.

With the 32 size chunks this seems to happen less often.

Could you upload a blueprint of a ship that has it from time to time?

Possibly related to the "swiss cheese" issue where some chunks would not load, or not load immediately. Anything having a rail in those chunks would then not be able to dock.
This was addressed before so most likely also fixed any issue that caused this one.

Without blueprints of ships that have constantly, or logs to give more details, it's hard to know for sure...
