Pallaeni: Approach to Bakewell Point

[mbar]

When I was using Bakewell Point as a parking spot while I did some SRV testing, it seemed to me that approaching Bakewell in super cruise was odd. My ship seemed to slide sideways as I kept the nose pointed toward it. It was only when I got the Safe Disengage message that the ship seemed to lock and move toward the outpost.

As you DW adventurers come to Pallaeni, I'd be curious to hear what your experience is.

Yep, same. It is true for both the A 1 and A 2 planets. I assumed it was because they were so small and the orbits were so close. I am happy to be corrected.

Yes, they seem to orbit fairly quickly, which produces that effect.

I must have been too target fixated to take note of the fast orbits. I will have to check that out when I go back from exploring. Thanks!

Oh god yes The only moon where I've just had to park on the orbit line and wait until it hits me in the face.
