Community Event / Creation Alpha 3.0 Docking and Hyperspace

I've uploaded my attempts at docking

No pilots were harmed during filming. A sidewinder was paint scratched and a docking manager had a mild heart attack.

Cheers,

Nice controlled landing there!

Nice controlled landing there!

Thanks.

Some unnecessary fooling around with the re-allocation of landing pads and me forgetting reverse thrust on...

Another cool vid

Would be nice to see the distance to the target even though your not facing it..

Where's the hyperspace??
I waited for the countdown and then nothing...

EDIT: Just realized there's no graphical effect yet...sorry

That looks fun.
Are there 4 hangars underneath each landing pad?

 

[Dejay]

Nice video. A lot of paint scratching
Kind of funny that the countdown at the end is synced wrong, when the voice says "4" there are actually 5 seconds to go X)

Does the Oculus Rift make docking easier or harder?

Not sure on that. I use TrackIR which if nothing adds to the immersion

I think Port Zelada needs to get their act together - The Docking staff have only two jobs: Responding to docking/exit requests and allocating docking bays - They seem to do both poorly there. And that huge beam in the middle needs to go. It extends just far enough for pilots to smash into it while lining up with the centre axis, without extending far enough for it to be seen before it is smashed into.
