Flying perfectly through one of the internal structures at a high-tech station completely backwards with no visibility without smashing into either it or the back of the starport in a flying brick is still pretty impressive to me.If the galaxy owes them a beverage for something so trivial, I know a good number of fellow buckyballers and racers in general who should be totally wasted by now. I should barely be able to walk straight myself.
Where do they sell Stations Auto-Exit Computer...?

Flying that brick FA Off flipping through the slot is rather impressive, flying it between those internal structures is rather luck. Speaking from long-time experience in the field.
Though I can name you a guy who flew completely backwards through the narrow gap between two towers at a planetary outpost. Starting from 1500 km away. At 4000 m/s.

Wait, is it impressive or trivial?Flying that brick FA Off flipping through the slot is rather impressive, flying it between those internal structures is rather luck. Speaking from long-time experience in the field.

I doubt they will remove the docking computers because some users think it makes docking, one of the most trivial and inconsequential parts of the game easier. The guy comparing docking in ED to flying a commercial airliner in real life or docking a cruise ship is ridiculous. I can admit, I used to endlessly bag on a friend of mine because he relied on the docking computer, but it was dumb in hindsight, and the docking computer saves me some time that I can get a drink or do something else during the docking process. It’s in these times that I like to pan to my panels and set course for example.

It depends on the frame or reference. It's impressive in the frame or reference of your post, trivial in the frame of reference of mine.
Jokes aside though, when "blazing your trail" consists of being a race/stunt pilot, stuff like that becomes par for the course. And I'm not even that good at that!
The ADC can help with the Beluga & Cutter exiting the slot. The best use I have for the docking computer is when I boost into a station to avoid a scan (ie through the slot at 250+ m/s). Engage docking computer at <7.5km, but boost through the slot. Now hit zero thrust and let the DC sort out the landing...

There really needs to be a formal ED air show of sorts. That really would be a spectacle.
I'm pretty sure it would be much faster and easier once you got the hang of it. Because it is. Also: free slot!
Oh golly gee willikers a whole size 1 module just for me!
I'll pass lol I enjoy having my built-in bathroom breaks
Pfft, bathroom breaks. My record is 10 hours in VR, no bathroom or food breaks. I wasn’t even trying, I just lost track of time.
That is a physical impossibility for me. I like to enjoy some beer when I play so that means I need my bathroom breaks lol
Yeah, I tried drinking soda with the Rift on once. You’d be surprised how hard it is do drink with a brick on your face.
Must. You MUST boost out with the Cutter.
You can boost twice with the Type-9 before exiting the station!
Done that been there. Sometimes without ramming anybody, sometimes with ramming. Station gets mightily angry though..Must. You MUST boost out with the Cutter.
I think I'm okay with that.
FTFYI use an advanced docking computer. It's achickpurple-haired-party-crusher magnet.
Oh yes. I forgot to mention in my RP that the computer is programmed to automatically schedule a dinner date at the same time as requesting docking if the station announcer voice is female.I use an advanced docking computer. It's a chick magnet.
