Whenever you undock from a station, there's a {{co|lightgreen|visible}} timer that makes you invulnerable for 30 seconds or until you move, activate a module or target someone. While in this state you're practically ''"invulnerable"''; you cannot be locked and cannot bump against other ships, intentionally or not.

Whenever you undock from a station, there's a {{co|lightgreen|visible}} timer that makes you invulnerable for 60 seconds or until you move, activate a module or target someone. While in this state you're practically ''"invulnerable"''; you cannot be locked and cannot bump against other ships, intentionally or not.

While most actions break this ''"invulnerability"'' you can still press {{button|Ctrl}} + {{button|Space}} to stop your ship (or use the {{button|–}} button on your HUD right next to your speed bar) while keeping your ghost-like status. This can allow you to undock, remain protected and wait out the '''Session Change Timer''' and dock back up before the ''"invulnerability"'' wears off.

Be aware that there are stations, so called ''"kick-out"'' stations that have such a small docking range that even if you immediately stop your ship you'll be too far away from the station to immediately dock up again. For those stations you'd be forced to turn around and move back towards the docking ring, which will give enemies or gankers ample time to lock and attack you.
