As far as i remember, i scratched many many times my anaconda's paintjobs in the mail slot,
not sure if increasing the size would be a good idea.

It will be destruction derby everytime when we'll dock

Only if you increase proportionally the size of the mail slot

I got a Beluga, an Anaconda and a T-9 this week.

Toast rack feels kinda tight.

Always scratched my Condie, bit of a fat bird, whereas the Cutter sails through (no pun intended) (well actually yes its was pun intended).

Letterbox needs to be bigger, every time i hit the afterburners from the back of the station for a "wing commander" style exit, i end up slamming into the wall haha ..or when we get some real big ships, maybe they will land on the stations outpost style [hotas]

Keep practicing, and soon you'll be slamming into the wall only half the time.

And remember, vertical thrusters are your friend.

Though sometimes they can betray you when you don't realise that you kept them active for a little too long...

I think it's the verticals that are getting me into trouble ..will practice with a Vulture or something instead of the cutter

Yeah get VR and then you realize how big everything is.

Also now I want a super Vette.

Personally I am generally find docking the largest vessels.

I get careless with the small ones - how can I miss? Turns out, when going really fast and docking in on a bend, I can miss spectacularly badly - and yet I just can't help myself. I just like to see how fast and mad one can dock - I bate the 'Please slow down' speeding messages - you want an audience.

I've got it right when I've slammed my ship down so hard that the shield is blown but my hull is 100%. Preferably without having to steer from 1km+ outside the station - not always possible - depends on the bay. That's got to be the aim, right? Bumpers are for bumping into, right?

I die a lot...

 

[Jenner]

I hardly ever get a haircut now with my Conda, but back when I first flew one it was neigh impossible to manage.

 

[CMDR Corlas]

Federal Destroyer? Hot.

 

[shadragon]

I want a boxy T-11 Heavy Transport that has 3 meter clearance on all sides of the mail slot and a 600+ cargo capacity.

I always was a dreamer.

 

[Theodrid]

Yeah, I hear ya and feel your pain Dognosh, my missus has had two kids..........

Damn, should have read the OP

 

[dognosh]

You guys are naughty & terrible,and show the wonderful spirit of this community

P.s. the enlarged "experimental" vette was at 185% of the current ingame one.
