you slid all over the place

Sometimes... š³
- Thread starter Pville_Piper

I dropped the thrusters down to the D model; I had the clean drives blueprint and ran it up to G5 with no effect and it really did seem to help. I also dropped the power plant down to the D model as well and did a grade 3 overcharge at the same time.
As a matter of fact, I took the cutter out for the first time mining and wasn't disappointed. This will likely be my go-to laser miner now. It just seems like everything works. Needs a bit of engineering to polish it off, but I'm impressed! It was the first time I actually enjoyed flying the cutter.
Thanks, Stealthie!

AT the landing pad?
Look I get it, you're salty. I'm poking fun a bit with that video, but your OP literally claims you CANNOT land a Cutter without a docking computer. So I don't know what to tell you, you are NOT flying an airplane through an atmosphere and large ships shouldn't handle as such in outer space.
I have landed the Cutter on plantary ports, stations, power play mega ships and colonisation mega ships with no issues.
I had the landing indicator centered on the pad, all blue and it wouldn't lock.
On planetary pads it sometimes is a little finicky, almost like the circle is smaller, but sliding the ship slowly across the pad until it locks down works every time.
I couldn't get this to lock down. Period. I don't know why, but after playing for nearly 3 hours I was I no mood to find out. Last night I didn't even try to, just let the docking computer do it's thing.
I've played this game for 10 years and rarely ever used the docking computer because I prefer to fly my own ships... Heck I rarely use the super cruise assist.
I have to say this, because I have done it.
Are you certain that you lowered your landing gear, and didnāt open your cargo hatch by mistake? Yes I have done this and itās embarrassing as it gets. I remember being frustrated that I couldnāt line up the landing, which I have easily done thousands of times. Just throwing this out there.

Sounds like some server or client lag to me.
My cutter up till recently was kinda a square peg. So it sat pretty much unused.
Until trailblazers hit.
Took a long hard look. 786 ton cargo yup.
Lightweight engineering yup.
Full on thrusters yup.
Shieldless yup.
Net result! Goes like stink empty and almost 490mps fully loaded (boosts)
It's a hoot! Cept slowing it down....now that's an issue. But like most things in elite you get used to it.
Now I can fly her pretty well with what l call anticipatory flying.
Pirates don't stand a chance. She's shieldless and toothless (no weps)
But in a straight line she's gone and high waking before they land a single shot.
Except those pirate lunatics that decide to attack whilst I'm landing at a construction site. Never ends well for them.

Who knows, usually relogging fixes it but for some reason it didn't.
