Drinking and docking, you know who you are!

[Ian Skippy]

Hello there pilots!

I'm sure I am not the only one who enjoys the 'chillness' of flying around in ED, and likes to enhances the experience with a glass of w(h)ine or two. Here's a little motivational video for those who want to take the next step and dock FA off like a boss.

Thats what the docking computer is for

 

[Abomination]

Whahaaa! Nice one!
I'll stick to my beer and wine though and let imagination smooth out the curves...
(Oh, by the way, sorry to the few commanders I bumped into recently. Station flight control was obviously joking around by assigning several of the same numbers to multiple platforms at once )

Proost!

Hehe. You mean my bumpy landings and occasional ship destruction is due to my wine consumption?

Damn.

Once, I found the bottom of a bottle of whiskey...crashed my Clipper THREE times that night

When my hangover wore off enough to log on, I was very sad to see what happened to my credit balance.

never again

Five replies and no objections to drink-docking. I take it then, that I am socially acceptable.

I'm too drunk to watch that video and I just crashed while docking and reading this post.

Indeed.

When I get back to the bubble I can't wait to try to 'dock like a boss' after a bottle or two, with some Jimi Hendrix on the ships stereo of course ...

You are not the exception, we are the Norm...

Not drunk enough : you spelled everything right.

Maybe. I caught my mistake with "to".

 

[Keiyran]

Bah, most people use "to" instead of "too" without being drunk. Doesn't count

I knew I wasn't the only one I recommend doing this after a couple drinks

1- Go all the way to the back of the starport (must be Orbis)
2- Disable FA and Rotational correction
3- Put some Epic music
4- Dock!

(Heres a video of myself doing it steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=471510740)

Doh, I'm getting there... in point 2, my stupid mind replaced "cor" with "e" for some reason. I was really baffled until I re-read it...

 

[OldSalt]

So you are saying you can still dock if you are sober ? Sounds dodgy but I will have a lash (when I am sober again)

 

[Warbrand]

Docking without Absinth.... impossible, I would even miss the station

 

[Rick Venus]

lucky i just had 4 pips in shields on Ye Olde T-7. I'd put in 5 pips if i could.
