I'm going low for the next trip - my thinking being the bottom of the galaxy doesn't even have Rackham's Peak...

We left half of grandpa's ashes in the Smojai area, and now half in the Aucopps, and passing on through. But I didn't think to save another half or fry all the halfs first on Altair 1
Passing through on into the Drojeaes, Drojos, Thailois, and here I decided to finally try the HUD Modifier program EDHM. Wow that's pretty cool like a free trip to the livery. Especially for a bare cockpit far from the next livery!
I DIG DOG DIGGITY DIG IT
Next upcoming stops in the Pyraleau and Nyeajaae,
Flyiedge, Skaude, and Skaudai.
In a couple of days we should connect with Vladirmir Macdougal's Triumph (CB-26) along the colonia bridge highway,
We in many ways recreated grandpa CMDR rupee noon's historic trip from Veil West to the highway. Just like 1400 years ago they recreated crossing the oregon trail (that's a great book!).
(Almost exactly like)
Well, thanks for the question CMDR 03threeleven. By the way, whenever I am in the milky way, I rarely found such a parking dilemma moment. But I was picking up a material off it, a little slowly, and kinda lazily momentum and got high centered. It was stickier than most; I tried some back forward and jump jets and couldn't move, about when the shields were depleted and hull 50%, time was fleeing. I decided to disembark at that point and unbuckled my harness. But I wonder if I had put the shield up before trying to get running if I mighta survived though
Cool! You can plant the flag at Markov's Nadir then we can go tour it!

I'm in......... I'll need to find a tour company though.
Yesterday, I experienced a number of really strange events.
I hauled about 10k tons of Tritium to my carrier.
And I tried to use a docking computer.
With a Cutter.
For launch, too.
And the docking computer worked.
Every. Single. Time.
It did overshoot to the vertical when the pad was close to the slot, but it pulled back and corrected itself.
And it was able to approach a carrier pad without overshooting to the side.
Once, it bumped a bit into geometry while waiting and avoiding smaller ships (despite regulations that require smaller ships to avoid mine).
But that bump was only once and the lowest reading on my ~1000 MJ shields was 95%.
It is probably still advisable to be ready to intervene during launch.
But generally, I'd say that the docking computer has returned to a working condition.

There is supposed to be a bug that lets you see your destination if you use night vision. I haven’t had a canopy blow out in a long time so I haven’t tried it myself but it would be interesting to learn if it’s true.
At the rate I've been going, I should be able to confirm it soon.
I wonder if that's actually a bug. I've been wondering for quite some time why the suit's helmet HUD can't take over if the canopy is broken...
It works for me, i have had it happen a couple of times.
Night vision gives you back your vision.
I assumed that it was a bug because I don’t remember any salesman, brochure or user manual mentioning that this feature was installed but I like your explanation
The ADC has always worked for me. The only caveat is, as you say, every now and again, the thing will bump a large ship into a station hull.
I've seen it happening to NPCs, too. I guess it has to do with how the ships have to keep station in a moving station.
Which is usually no issue for smaller vessels, but ships of the T9 caliber, well, that's a different story.
If that's true then turning it off shouldn't have any effect either.
Not ADC related, but the worst bit of NPC driving I've seen was when I was leaving a pre-alerted military settlement after an Ody mission. I was in a Scorpion trying to get to recall distance in mountainous terrain while being fired on by a bunch of ships including a Python and Anaconda. At one point, out of the blue the Python absolutely slammed itself into the ground a few yards in front of me, which adjusted my heart rate somewhat. It survived, and slowly lurched back into the sky to resume firing.
Good fun.
Wow, to bad you didn't get a video of that one, would have been interesting. I've been frequenting a hazardous extraction site and there appears to be conflict between the pirate factions, some I've never seen before have been showing up. They immediately start firing on each other, everything from Anacondas vs Anacondas to Gunships, Dropships, FDL's and Pythons on down.
So I usually choose the ship with no shields and lots of hull damage and jump in the fight, as soon as it's destroyed, I turn on the other ship I was helping. I keep going like that until cell banks and my hull are depleted, the cool thing about this is I don't take as much fire. I like to plink an Annie from 4Km away (out of his range) and turn and boost towards an opposing faction instigating a furball with great joy.
Back doing currier missions, interesting looking space station. Boscom's Pride. Diggidiggi System.
Well,yes. And no. The automated system of the ADC is the same in all ships, player or non player.
If you turn it off, you only have the flight assist system keeping your ship in place, which is far more subtle in its position control thruster bursts.
Okay, that makes sense, I leave it off mostly. We have several bases out here who don't have an automated landing/take-off system so I get some practice.

I wonder if they'll finally give us the Panther Clipper?
