Docking - according to Swiss Toni

[mojonaut]

As Swiss Toni would say,

Docking - Is like making love to a beautiful woman

First you get permission,

then you gently approach,

you need to turn a bit so you're both in the right position,

and some might prefer it with the lights off,

make sure to lower your legs and gently settle into position.

Once you reach the Pad you get drawn inside from where you can deliver your cargo

and feel the satisfaction of a job well done


On a slightly more serious note: the elevators are all wham-Bam-Thank-You-Mam

Any chance of adding some ease-in and ease-out to the animations as ships are moved about.

These are big ships being moved, would elevators (even in a low G environment) really go from stationary to full speed without a slight acceleration/deceleration ?

Well that made me giggle a lot.

I could see where that was going as soon as I saw the subject.

But I think your serious point has fallen victim to the humour of your first.

It doesn't look too bad to me, but maybe a little more inertia would be better.

Where's the 'banging off the walls until you explode' bit then?
