Newcomer / Intro New player really excited but having a rough time (haaalp :D)

Anyone mind helping a newbie out? With just some general tidbits of gameplay, I was struggling so hard to figure out docking just now it felt really sad that it took me that long to understand. Just looking for a semi-mentor or even just fellow new buddies to game with. I have TS3 so we could talk over that whilst playing, if interested add me at RichRuzz on Steam or PM me here.
 
Does this help at all ?

Of course "L" is now your landing gear

Im new too, played for a few hours and blew up someone who was trying to interdict me. all was glorious :D

For the stations that you dock inside of i find it helps to fly away and try to approach straight on. When your trying to put the ship in place make sure to tap your keys, don't hold down.
 
It also helps to deploy landing gear on your way in - your ship restricts speed when the landing gear and/or cargo scoop are out, so it helps. Also, in the options, there are hotkeys to set your speed to 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 0%, -25%, -50%, -75%, and -100%. I put these on my number pad, and use -50% after I burst through the entryway at 100% speed, but you probably don't want to do that until you've been playing for months like some of us have ;-)

Feel free to friend me and PM me in the game: CMDR "Reliant"
