There are no stupid questions only stupid people.

Whatfeindish devil made the docking stations in such a shape, you literally cannot tell the orientation of it when you enter a system so you have to spend a long time whanging around the station. It has to be some sort of evil only the Devil would invent, tell you what why not do away with buckmnster fullerine/football style station and just make it spherical, that'll really annoy the players.

Look at the hologram, there are little arrows pointing towards the letterbox.

You missed the point, but it doesn't matter anyway I was not really serious.

Buckminster Fullerine molecule. AKA Bucky balls.

I still have nightmares and flashbacks, trying to dock at original coriolis.

I remember it with fear too

First thing to buy was always a docking computer.

Engineering a Jump range increase…..
Optimised mass ^4% ????????????
Does this actually mean a reduction in mass of 4% ?Why does is the data presented as ^4% ? That looks like my mass is going up ?
Why has this got to be so confusing FD ?
What’s wrong with simply saying:
Current range = 21.14 ly
With this upgrade = 21.67 ly

Why are you so bad at presenting data FD ?

This is pretty much the same idea as Thrusters.
These might sounds like a bit more professionalish but it is as silly as it gets.

Thrusters and FSD basically work like they have to take account into your ship's hull and cargo and stuffs that weighs (modules, weapons...).
Funny though I don't think cargo actually helps ramming... Maybe someone brought 792T cargo in a Cutter then tell me the results.
There is a page existing for thruster matters but I can keep things shorter for you.

They work like a ratio between optimal mass/ship mass or vice versa.
Every thruster has an optimal mass, if you are
lighter than that number, faster (output x Maximum multiplier);
same, normal (output x Optimal multiplier, usually 1);
heavier, slower (output x Minimum multiplier).

FSD works quite similar. Larger optimal mass means further because further from optimal.
I think they are just sticking with the modules information... Optimal Mass... Multiplier... very mathematicish.

True each to their own. There is only one way of game and that's your own. Although some people would beg to differ.

And some sense was made today. It's a good day to be out there flying into the Abyss, the blackness of Space. Delivering Space Weed and Slaves. Kappa
