Asteroid Collision Mesh Adjustment

I would like to suggest that the collision mesh of asteroids be readjusted to match their actual size/shape.

Why:

I watched this guy wobble there for for a good few minutes before he promptly warped off sideways in an Orca. He’s obviously between the asteroids and not touching anything that any normal, reasonable person would assume would stall their ship.

When someone loses their ship because they were stuck on an invisible collision mesh, they’re more than likely going to submit a ticket to CCP. This of course then takes a bit of time to be investigated. A benefit to this suggestion would be that it would potentially reduce tickets, not to mention player frustration.

Please keep discussion to the specific topic in the OP; Asteroid Collision Mesh Adjustment.

Orcas aren’t exactly known for their agility… Any idea why it was hugging the asteroids?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

It was funny watching it warp sideways though. I think he just assumed he could because its empty space.

You can’t bump the Orca if it’s inside or too close to the asteroid geometry. Bumping ships would get thrown off alignment once they hit the geometry.
