Newcomer / Intro Can't find docking computer.

[Pappy1960]

I'm new and I looked on EDDB for stations that sold docking computers.
I went to four of them but could not find the docking computer.
I went through utility mounts, optional internal etc.
What am I doing wrong?
Also there is a lock symbol on 'vehicle extra' if that means anything.
Any help appreciated.

welcome to elite dangerous,
the way to ADD a docking computer is in optional internals .. etc
step two go down the list to the 1. slots and find opening...
step three if no slot open , then select cargo scoop, or supercruise computer or planetary computer...

fyi removing the planetary computer means you never will intend to land on a planet...
select slot and browse...
scroll to bottom of list of choices and find flight assistance category... select it / click it..
then on this list should be docking computer...

but before all this... start by flying to a starport... ! if you fly to an outpost... sometimes it hasnot got much outfittings...

also to help you land... before playing ... goto options and review the flight controls , flight thruster buttons... this really helps learn to land,,
study the use of the keybinds...

I'd just pack in looking and learn to dock manually.

You know they are in the Flight Assist section? Under optional internals.

I looked there.
I couldn't find the computer.
I went to four station so far from recommendations of EDDB.
I must be missing something.

If I try to replace the planetary computer, it takes me to an upgrade.
In optional internal, there is no docking computer.

Name some stations. You're doing something wrong.

There is no 'flight assist' section in Optional Internal on the page.

I'm at Luhman 16, Jenner Orbitor..I trying to oufit a Keelback.

Eddb doesn't list the docking computer as present there, and the data is listed as being 2 days old.

Use a search like this https://eddb.io/station?m=1810&i=1&r=12934&j=0 and look at results less than a day old.

Edit: don't go to Hutton orbital...
Edit2 : probably Qureshi Orbital LHS 380

I'm in the same system as you now and I checked the base on Luhman 16 A 2 and Edison Hub has an advanced docking computer there.

Thank you for your help.
Much appreciated.

The cargo scoop is not a module that can be replaced. The planetary computer is in a special slot type and cannot be replaced by a regular module.
