There are ATC livestreams available, all over the world. There are apps on Apple and Android for this as well. It's killed the scanner market, since they listen to local public service comms too...
Well talk about a party pooper.
Do any of those videos, apps and alike deal with space stations, huge ships and docks ?
No ? Too bad, I suppose this thread is relevant then.
My idea of how STC conversation would go when approaching a coriolis station.
"Falcon Delacy [identification nº] heavy (refers to heavy weight like an Anaconda ), you are on radar, ask for permission to dock and wait for proper instructions"
"Falcon Delacy [identification nº] heavy, your are clear to dock, maintain speed at 90 and approach airlock golf (green) at 90º angle, holster hard-points for the entire duration of your staying.
"Falcon Delacy [identification nº] heavy, there is heavy traffic reported but your are confirmed to enter airlock at golf (green) priority 1, maintain docking speed at 90 and proceed to dock 25, welcome to the station."" priority would be set following the size of a ship, big ships have priority over small ones.
for a smaller ship having to wait, this could be the STC reaction :
"Falcon Delacy [identification nº] ( small ship, no heavy), there is heavy traffic reported at the airlock, decrease speed at (50 ?) and allow heavy ships to pass."
"Falcon Delacy [identification nº] you can now follow Gutamaya [id nº] heavy trough the airlock at golf, you may resume docking confirmed at dock 22, maintain docking speed at 90, welcome to the station."
Not much but I believe better that some of the "maintain altitude at 300" nonsense.
What do you think ?
I'm sure you have better ideas.
