Since subbing more than a month ago docking timers have gotton progessivly worse.
15 seconds, then 30 seconds then 45.. then a whole minite... now its even longer.. WTF!
now suddenly today all beta outposts have undocking timers... fine, but wtf, give us a warning or something??
Sorry to be *** about it but I think we deserve some kind of explanation.
I agree the timers are a bit too long for one, and the undocking timers make assignments a pain to do.
yeah, currently i am about 90secs on one of my sparks..
Yep, really annoying.
Undock... wait... slamming your keyboard... wait... slamming keyboard again.... wait... monitor is thrown out of the window while you slam your face on the table, and still you cant undock. The timer is annoying, demotivating and something that should be reduced or be completely removed from the game. I dont think many of the new players like the undock timer, makes missions a pain and even more boring than they currently are, just making the pain worse.
Total pain in the arse! Please remove them or seriously reduce them.
serious PITA.... being a semi-solo harvester getting back to station @ a whopping 45kph... then having to wait (as i did tonite) for 75secs before i can undock the hauler bot.... left me with about 30secs before the can went pop..... so cmon either shorten (have no objection to 20/30secs) but over a minute is a pi** take imo
im new to the game and even i am really annoyed from this feature.
i do not see the point about it. if u are in a beta island or agressed from a fight of any sort i guess i could understand. but letting the community to wait for no other reason except to counter another feature like the triangle is absurd and not logical at all.
i also think that they should either be reduced, revamped or removed all together. the loading time to dock/deploy is enough. adding 30 secs would also be understandable i guess but anything more than that is annoying to say the least.
i hope the devs will rethink on this. o/

Bump!
Shorter redeploy-timers please!
Needs to at least* take into account beta/alpha and whether or not the player has changed bots. Preventing too-fast tactical refits is one thing, and may (not taking a stance here) be a choice for sane gameplay. But take pity on the little sparks who just want to grab an assignment or another stack of scan charges and get back on the road.
*if we can't have shorter times across the board
Wasn't there some mention of longer timers to reduce client crashing?
I'll try to catch DEV Crm during the weekend, maybe he has a clue, because these 1minute+ docking time reportings are a mystery for us too.
Those timers were meant to be for Arkhe pilots trying to deploy after dying.. Remove them for all but Arkhe deaths. 
Longer docking timers = fewer people who want to bother, and they start going elsewhere.
30 seconds should be the hard ceiling on undocking, period. Any longer than that and I'm looking for another game to play, as I have the last few days.
Today was the first day since Perpetuum released that I had time to play & decided to go play something else.
And then I ran into the "You must gather your party before venturing forth" line in Baldurs Gate, so I just decided to watch something instead. 
Why is there a docking timer on Alpha at all?
everyone can understand that a docking timer is needed to protect database calls. we get that.

The docking timer lasted so long, that Alex lost his corp tag!
Anyway, I undocked last night without a can to farm NPC's with. I know it's just a couple mins, waiting for the destab to dock and then the timer again to undock, but I seriously considered just quick logging and watching a movie instead. I think this is partly due to ADHD but also that I'm just tired of farming for kernels, and a 2 min wait is enough to make me lose intrest; which is probably a bigger issue that CRM isn't going to fix over the weekend.
While the timer is marginally annoying, going shopping for a new MMO seems a tad drastic for the difference between 1 minute and 30 seconds. Have some booze, snag some porn on the cell phone, or fondle a nearby significant other's naughty bits while you wait. It's just an extra half minute and Zoom is going to bug Crm about it eh?
Extra 30sec! 'Tis an outrage! 'Tis a slap in the face of this TOS-abiding, paying subscriber. That's it, I'm off to play MMOs that RESPECT my time...
*hops on a gryphon*
/g afk 10min, taxi
*sets autopilot for a popular trade hub*
/15 jumps, afk the rest of the night
*pulls out magic carpet*
/no autorun on this thing? are you serious?
Hmm.. renews Perp subscription.

I think there is every need for that. your obviously hiding something.
It was 90 seconds according to the in game clock. I logged it was so infuriating. 
Sorry Zoom, we were late giving him his meds.
I think the longer docking timers are a good move by the devs, making the triangle less viable and making the instant re-fit tougher on betas.
