I mean, all you have to do is accelerate and manual will take over. It's a rookie error but one has to be open to learn from mistakes too.
So, is this game just too stupid?

There are lots of reasons why I quit playing Elite. This wasn't one of them. Learn to fly the ships. It's almost all the fun this game has to offer. But, if you are using Autopilot to being with, I dont think this is the game is for you anyways....just IMO.
Like those EDO videos where guy in surface films spaceship going full speed overhead....and BOOM...
If I'd known that small detail at the beginning of the thread I'd have revised my advice.Ah, the cat. Yes, that would do it.
It's all the cat's fault.
98% of my rebuys are the cat's fault.
Hehe, did that recently. Had to get up from the pc for something and my BIL was in his ship watching mine come out of glide and straight into the planet. Another mission failed.
It just wants to play the game itself. It thinks it can do a better job at it than you
In fairness... She's not wrong.It just wants to play the game itself. It thinks it can do a better job at it than you
I lost the use of one arm awhile ago temporarily and figured I would try advanced docking computer to see if I could still manage to get some stuff done. After watching it repeatedly drive Cutter into the station wall I decided never to use it again.
Haven't you heard? FD apparently made the ADC work that way just to keep CMDRs on their toes!

Think of it like Tesla autopilot.
It can drive itself but be ready to jump in with hands on the wheel as it will go wrong from time to time.
Honestly, it's a recent feature and one imo the game was better without but either way.... It works most of the time

And well IRL autopilots need pilot attention too.
Hefty shields and hull armour help, but sometimes you do need to intervene...I have biggest possible prismatic shield gen on my "armored valuable cargo transport" Cutter
I engaged supercruise assist, deactivated autothrottle, and just maxed it out.
Once you're up to speed (maybe 3 minutes into the trip), nothing behind you is going to catch you until you get slow again, and anything in front is going to get left behind if they turn on you.
Came back with about 10 minutes on the time estimate and played around on the other screen until I was ~500ls out and pulled it into the blue.
Been there a few times now and I've never been bothered while carrying cargo to Hutton. It can happen, but only if you go slow or aren't paying attention when you're close to either end of the system.
Nah, just giving you a hard time.
Anyone who has played this game for any length of time knows that there are many, many ways to die. Most of them are stupid, although generally the stupid is between your ears, rather than in the game per se
Welcome to the game. o7
At least Star Citezen has good graphics....
Well I like to play it safe, and ship sometimes engages in PvE combat.
Yeap. This stuff is for real in this game. But the DC adds a whole new level to it! It's OK once you know how stupid it is but it's a learning curve...
