docking

When trading with my ship that needs large landing pads, I often search for a long time in the left panel in navigation tab for a dockable location, where I filter out stations, ports and bases and then go one by one until I see that it has appropriate landing pads. After a recent update I...

It would be nice to have it set up so that if you make a docking request at a station with no available pads, it adds you to a queue rather than just denying your request. That way you can put in your request, and just sit and wait for a spot to open up rather than spamming the request button.

There are a couple of suggestions. Introduce the new KOVAS in Japanese. If there was such a voice assistant, I would definitely buy myself. When choosing a mission, show what attributes this mission will change during execution (it will increase or decrease security, the economy, or...

Example 1: I was taking off in my Cutter. Flight control says ‘You are clear to leave’ so I head toward the mail slot. About the time the nose of my Cutter enters the mail slot, a little NPC DBX tries to exit the mail slot right underneath me. Naturally, because of the limited space and a...

I will embark on a Odyssey so many places to be But before I depart to love this work of art I have but a humble request To aid my gaming quest Although I can supercruise and dock without a bruise I prefer to relax and enjoy the sight watching stars with all their might With all my respect...

Trying to land a large ship on some planets can be very difficult and time consuming. It would be very handy if all ships would indicate areas on the surface that are suitable for landing when the landing gear is deployed. Additionally, it would be nice to to have the ability to "autoland"...

Ok, right now the docking access is only required basically to secure a landing pad. There is no "legit" ways to fly into a starport with no access. It would be great to have some smuggling missions which requires you to fly into a starport without a docking request at all. For example, it...

I'm apparently missing something when it comes to docking permissions. I'm trying to dock with one of 20-30 carriers in the system LTF 37. Went into solo mode to avoid occupied docks, am withing 7,5km range. And it still gives me "Docking request denied, you do not meet set permissions." What...

Would be nice to have the ability to acces a fiew favorite bookmarked systems/stations from the navigation panel without going into the galaxy map, And also a docking queue on smaller stations.

I bought a new ship (a Cutter) for a specific task yesterday & have not yet named it. When a docking request is approved I hear the station manager state "Gutamaya zero-zero-zero...". In the audio options I have callsign set to shipname, but this ship doesn't have a name. I think it should have...

:S is it just me, or is how long it's taken, to correct the bug that turning on the free camera when the docking computer is on, which turns the docking computer off, taking just a liiiiiiitle too long to fix. how long have you had since that one was reported, Frontier? i just returned...

So last night I was trying to dock at a space port and I put in (not even kidding) at least 20 back to back requests to dock and all were denied. All I wanted to do was drop off my three passengers.....a simple 7 million dollar job. Upon entry out of SC, there were no system authority vessels...

Been trying to dock at Bosch hangar in the flousop system for over an hour I'm in a medium pad ship krait mk 2 I have a mission to delivery radioactive armour it's worth over 3.000.000 credits but it keeps saying docking request denied I'm not wanted or carrying anything illegal I see other...

I had an effective (if complicated) key sequence set up so that when I said "permission to dock" in VoiceAttack then the permission to land came up for both space stations and planets. After the update it no longer works. Are there any other key sequences/macros that now work?

We would purchase them via a monthly credit payment or for a percentage of our profits. Maybe kind of like a difficulty setting on some racing games, where you can turn off traction assist to earn more credits, but this time, these difficulty settings are software that interfaces with our ships...

An idea for a new station type to bring some variety to Elite, The Sprawls. These are unofficial stations that don't show up on the system map using normal system scanning means such as scanning the Nav Beacon. To find one you or someone in your wing has to have a discovery scanner equipped...

I would love to add a keybind to request docking from a station, settlement, or megaship. That would make my flying so much simpler.

There's nothing more annoying than always loosing your destination lock - any time you'd like to scan a ship or determine the type of a USS that popped up along the way. If we had two separate target locks: - one for items you can dock with or stars or planets, - one for all other types of...

Or is there a purpose? [EDIT: I see now, it was engineering commodities - before I started playing again this January...] Every mission running ship now has to waste a slot for an otherwise useless 4 ton cargo rack. On ships with few slots, that puts a serious crimp in your fitting...

I must admit, typing out "1-e-e-s-spacebar-s-spacebar-q-q-1" every single time is bugging the crap out of me... I could go ranting and raving about it, but then, maybe there were some QoL changes I'm unaware of, since 1.4..?

So 24th century ships (Star Trek) have computers that can fly the ship to a destination. 10 centuries later , in the same galaxy...ships are not able to be flown by computer. What gives? I understand this request will probably cause uproar within the community saying that it removes the...

So this is a case for changing the fundamental ethos of the automated docking system. As it stands now, the Automated Docking Computer makes no sense and is immersion breaking, specifically since Horizons. Here's why: My ship's computer has an advanced computer system already integrated. It is...

Subject On landing on a pad only the ship tilts and then levels itself. This, if one is in the cockpit, gives the impression of the engines "dropping" the ship onto the landing gear. Overview Several reasons why its inconsistent with the slickness of the visuals of the game graphically; and for...

Hello there. I'm playing PC version of ED for not so long and i have some suggestions. Maybe someone already suggested them, but i didnt find any similar in the search. If so, then i apologise. 1. It would be good if we can access our "Galaxy" bookmarks (stations, planets, systems) via "Target...

Just a few ideas I had for the next patch release. When passing light speed in super cruise, a brief rainbow or prism effect on or around all bright objects, red to violet when accelerating, violet to red when decelerating, just a small red shift/blue shift effect to prettify the super cruise...

As far as I understand it's all there, some of the dots are just not connected. When you use the DC you get assigned to holding patterns, however if you dock on manual you can do whatever as long as you got the permission. My suggestion: Departure, this is also controlled by the ATC, you...

What do you think CMDRs? Personally, I don't have problems docking - once I get fully immersed, I seem to have a heightened sense of spacial awareness somehow and it just all makes sense to me... But I often read about the problems some of you have with the big boys toys :D I can't see why...

The talk in various threads, especially this one: Your behavior [sic] led me to think that it would be interesting to see who would sign up to a Regulators alliance. "Regulators, we regulate any ganking behaviour, but you cant be any geek off the street gotta be handy with the lasers if you...
