On the stuntdocking -
Top view was easy - you maintain full directional control and the controls are intuitive. If you're in a sidewinder, I highly recommend doing it at least once - there's plenty of clearance and it looks wonderful!
Sideways was mostly a aim for the port, thrust, and pray while trying to turn sideways... Would have been much easier with Occulus or headtracker I think... Thanks to looking out the side and the panel display, you lose your directional thruster control and instead start cycling the panel display. Thinking about it later, maybe I could have disabled display control, but this was definitely more of a challenge. I smacked the station 3-4 times (Jenner probably kept count) before I got lucky and made it through. Certainly not the 'perfect' sideways entrance I envisioned, but the Sidewinder gets so twitchy with FA off....
I'm sure there are other Imperial pilots who can do far better.
