I once made a guide on how to dock an Anaconda...
That's as smooth as you like! I do love flipping over to dock, it just feels so much better than the "normal" way

note that the next 3 involve a race that had us land on illegal pads

The thing I like about Outposts is to me they're still quite tricky to work out where the pads are going to be, but the upside is that they lend themselves to some more stylish landings, even when I'm not racing.
OK, well here's my most disgraceful attempt at a race ever ..

Terrific thread Ozric!
My tutorial on how to land at a planetary outpost whilst wanted with wanted passengers.... I call it the "Brace for Impact" manoeuvre although I think someone may have already coined it as "The bellyflop"
Don't mind the audio, I had a livestream podcast type thing on a 2nd monitor. Zero punctuation aftershow if anyone is interested.
I have a few versions where it went less well, sadly not caught on video although lets just say it involves more than just a few disgruntled passengers after either loosing 50% hull or getting scanned.... Or on one painful occasion, both...

Here's a selection of my docking videos from the Buckybubble and others.

I'll just leave this here as an example of blatent self promo....... I mean as an example of how sometimes even though you're doing everything right, you can still fail a landing.

Incidentally, monumental props to the support staffers who took a look at this one and resolved it within a couple of hours of being reported at the time.
Your ship is made from tin-foil and explosives. Perhaps one of the lights on posts at all 4 corners of the landing pad skewered you right in the powerplant?
Ah well, cool video and good that support got you fixed up
Made my day. In fact, the entire year. Absolutely bloody marvellous that first vid. I haven't laughed so much in ages. Thanks for that.OK, well here's my most disgraceful attempt at a race ever ..
