Hi,
In the random info department...
I was wondering which was the faster approach to a station: fly direct, or overshoot
zooming past, pulling a 180, and coming around.
In my totally unscientific sample (1 try each) I got:
Sol to Abe Linc, overshooting, 1' 47"
Sol to Abe Linc, direct, slightly pulse throttle on the way, then
stay at "ETA" 07 seconds (you can actually do 06 if you really
pay attention). Once my speed is in the blue, accelerate:
2' 00"
So apparently overshooting is quite a bit faster....
Fly safe!
