But they do. It's a waste of time just sitting and waiting.Not even dystopia would allow use of such devices in vicinity of highly expensive and vulnerable space installations. And inside of them.

If the docking computer saves you time, then you need to work on your piloting skills.
Well I beg to differ. You know there are people in flight sim communities whose idea of playing is to disregard ATC and throttle to max...and those who follow real world style regulations to point.But they do. It's a waste of time just sitting and waiting.
I love my docking computer. It has never crashed me. I also very rarely ever have to wait in a que, to dock. I suspect that this may be due to what I believe is the game prioritizing large ships first. That means my Type 10 almost always gets to go first. Now as for leaving stations, yes, I do sometimes end up in a que because there are already pesky little ships making their way into the station.

Gads every, Docking Computer, Cutter????
Every time I drop at a station I hit boost and charge that thing straight through the slot, it's EASY! Dink the toast rack on the way through to slow you down a bit and bobs-your-uncle. Docking Cutters is easy.
I'll agree that auto launch is useful in that way.Docking computer is a great time saver, even if you are an A-class pilot.
Particularly with undocking, setting up your next location in the galactic map while the animations are happening, then when ready to go your ship is floating, maybe partly out of the station, and zoom off you go overiding the docking computer.
Fixed it...I’ve thrown one on for grinding, but be warned— they are not a replacement for a human pilot, and once you get complacent, they willtry tokill you.
... and you don't have 2 geriactric dogs with peanut bladders either?I have NEVER lost a Ship through a DC malfunction
Only if you get the super-duper deluxe engineered version.Does it make the tea and massage your feet? If not then its rubbish.
Of course, docking back in '84 was a flipping nightmare without a DC.but was also the first thing I bought in the original '84 game too.
The dilemma is only worsened by both KWS & ADC - then throw in SCA for completeness...I'll still KoS anybody who has one, though
