So many questions!!!

Today I've spent most of my work day and however much time my kids allow me watching alpha 3 videos and reading on reviews. The videos are amazing. This is the first 'real' version of the real Elite: Dangerous. Most of the fundamental features of the game (except trading) are there in one way or another; Combat, docking, traveling (in a very limited way, but still). I could not be more excited about how things are coming along...

But I digress. The main point of this thread is to ask alpha players a few questions about gameplay. Here they are in no particular order:

Before jumping to Hyperspace, the hyperdrive needs to charge. This operation seems to take a lot of energy and generate lots of heat. Has anybody tried to prepare a hyperjump while in silent mode (with all the heat vents closed)? if so, does it work or does the ship blow up before the jump?

The air lock in the coriolis space station does not look too big. Has anybody tried to fly in while another ship was getting through (either both ships going the same way or on opposite directions)?

I have not seen any video of people shooting while inside of a station. But I'm sure this has already been tried. Does the station have weapons on the inside or do they deploy fighters to deal with the offender? I would love to see a dogfight inside of the station.

And finally; What's up with the 'connect to the black market' option in the station menu :eek:? If I'm dealing with illegal stuff, I would be a bit suspicious of the 'sell your drugs here' sign right by the option to fix your ship. That has to be the lamest sting operation in the history of law enforcement :D
 
I flew out as another ship flew in. There's a bit of room. If you shoot inside the station be prepared to watch some more spinning ships while loading back in.
