Have you tried parking a horse-driven carriage?
No? Me neither, but I'm quite confident I could park a truck, but I'd utterly fail trying to park a roman carriage.
I'd wish for FD to implement a little complexity and depth, but they're taking the opposite route and that's fine - probably gets some of todays arcade kids interested in proper sims like DCS.

Sure , a piece of hightech with hightech computers with complex algorithms to assist the pilot in everything while it prepares a coffee for you, parking a ship is like parking a city car today , why should it be like parking a truck today? Space is big and the difficulty in parking a truck is cause you need to maneuver in small spaces, do stations look small to you ? Ships are easy to park simply cause you go straight to the landing pad, no need for big maneuvers, it's like parking a boat at the port, you get close to the pier and dock, same here even if it has the feeling of parking a city car , I guess parking capital ships will be more complicated than this
But basically because I would like having to dedicate more effort to piloting the ship than to navigating information screens on a space station. And right now, there is very little actual piloting required.
+100000000Elite simulates our galaxy, but its core gameplay flight mechanics are game. Its a game. Orbiter is a space sim.

ED is too far from a real space simulators.
Give the truck keys to a Roman carriage driver and ask him to park it...
Wait is the OP advocating for a Multiplayer game that has everyone in the same fixed time reference to have realistic travel times and speeds requiring cryo sleep?
Hi - self-important Elitist here (well, according to you)
Thought I'd lower myself to the point of interacting with you.
Mostly out of curiosity really.
Why would somebody need more X52s? I don't own a single one. But surely if I bought a second joystick it would be as useful to me as attempting to drive my very, very expensive, solid gold Elitist car with 2 steering wheels?
Not that I drive, I have a chauffeur for that of course, old bean.
<puts on hat and utterly unnecessary driving gloves>
TTFN all. To the golf course Jeeves, I'm done with this one.
As an aside, I'd just like to say: all people who make sweeping generalisations are idiots.![]()
