I've docked to a base once... uppside down

I've gone through jump gates on my side before, very weird.

Also, I was in Ringworld once, and Juni called me. The mission waypoint kept on changing. But usualy it was pointed at sun...I didn't think it was a good idea to go toward it.

You sure the mission waypoint wasn't just on the other side of the sun? :p

If you want some strange things to happen, just get a group of freighters and y'all form up. Now try going through trade lanes. When the "leader" (the one issuing the dock command) enters the trade lane, everyone else in formation starts going, whether they're in the lane yet or not. I've gone sideways starting from quite a distance away from the trade lane, gradually turning forward during the trip, lol.

Edit: I've also tried going through trade gates this way. When there's lag, sometimes I'll go through the gate, but won't initiate the trade sequence. Instead, I'll slowly (freighter) turn around, loop around, and try going through the gate again. Takes anywhere from 2-3 times, lol. Very annoying at the time, though, since I can't control anything.

No no, I looked at the nav map, it was right on the sun, zoomed in and everything.

I was in the Armoured Transport (its a mod) and tried docking with Planet New Berlin, but my ship just circled around the dock instead, because my turning circle was to big, going in and out of the planets atmosphere, and disrupting other ships from landing,! The camera was on cinematic veiw, so I couldn't cancel!!! Lol? I nearly wet myself! Eventually I had to load from my last save and try again, but, as you've probally guessed, I bought a manourveable fighter soon after that and finished my merchanting career.

Dumb autopilot...

I noticed a small glitch, without mods...

If you luckliy next to a freighter, and you're travelling in a trade lane with it, (this can be done with any ship) wait for the trade-lane to end. Just as before you have control to move your ship, you notice that your ship is not solid whatsoever and then it will go through inside another ship.
