Getting mail-slot pinned in my T9
- Thread starter conceit
- Start date
never got stuck with my t9
but i had several cases where my corvette was stuck to the letterbox while leaving to high.
there is a kind of forcefield that sucks you to it
solved it with either relogging, or last time, i did a barrel-roll, that managed to detach the ship.

How slow do you guys leave the station that the gravity well of the mailslot pulls you in??
It is the rotational correction, most noticeable in the Anaconda/Corvette due to the location of the bridge.
There is no gravity well, thrusters work automatically with RC is enabled, the ship automatically engages and disengages it.

That makes sense. I never noticed it, but certainly take it for granted. There's an option in your functions menu to disable RC, now that would make for some interesting landing videos.
its not about "how slow"
but more about "how much attention do you give the game while flying through the mailslot"
and thats not much most of the time
I've scraped the top of the slot in my vett and heard the loud clanging noise. Thus I assume the only way to reproduce the comical scene of getting stuck to the top of it (e.g. Wile E. Coyote) would be to creep along slow enough :S
no, just fly high enough that youre cockpit collides the the wall, forcing you into a full stop.
I've tried, it is damn near impossible for me to land on a pad with RC off.
As for speed, going through the slot at less than 80 almost always gets me contacting the slot if I am not paying enough attention, there's a point right in the center of the slot where RC shuts off and your ship stops rotating with the station.
