Newcomer / Intro How to dock at sylvester city?

Do I have to ask permission? Wait for a pad to go orange? I'm stuck don't know how to dock! Ok I'm stupid but at space stations I know what to do :(
 
Works exactly the same as with larger stations, the difference being you might have to fly around the outpost a bit to find the pad they assigned you.

DON'T PANIC

Drop out of supercruise

Get within 7.5km of the outpost

In the left panel move to 'CONTACTS' and then scroll to the outpost

Select it

Select 'REQUEST DOCKING'

Dock.

Thank you, the idiot gives thanks. I was on the navigation not communication panel . Point and laugh at the noob.

If you have some problems with ht e docking process you can assign some keys for the forward, backward thrust and 0 throttle!
When you're far the dock pad, zero the throttle using the key and you'll stop, you can use the forward as necessary to get close enough to the pad.
It does not that hard like it is with the throttle controller. Its a bit easier!
And you will never crash anymore.
