Oolite with the nav bouys reaelly did make it oh so easy...
Or: approach between station and planet, make sure that you see the station in your side view once you reach the line, stop, face station, match rotation & dock.Yeah... approach the station from space-side, zoom past it, flip the ship, match rotation and dock.

Worked like a charm again now, as I did it again on Commodore 64, it's been ~20 years since the last time. :smilie:
What I remember most is that all new commanders I started bought the docking computer very late, after learning how to dock without dying a lot, so extra cargo and extra shields and all that would come first, then when I got really bored with landing, then I'd buy a computer and lean back while docking.Or: approach between station and planet, make sure that you see the station in your side view once you reach the line, stop, face station, match rotation & dock.
Adding 200 kills last night helps towards that goal...
Now I feel inadequate!
I'm on 250+ kills after a MONTH of playing!
There should be awarning for this thread
That looks so wrong
MadMax and Jokester you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves
Never bothered rotating the ship, used to get lined up with the docking bay slot and come in real close where would wait at minimum speed as the bay rotated around, when it was nearly level with ship orientation would hammer the acceleration speed and zoom on in. Much easier than trying to keep the ship rotating at a constant speed.
