You lost me at training

[Lamb_Chop]

Hi Guys,
I am sure this is a fantastic community and such, Shame I probably won't be able to participate.

I have this game since 2016 or something on my Steam, I just never got around to playing it. Too much stuff IRL.
This weekend, I bought the DLC and loaded it up.
Nice Gfx. But the game lost me at "Docking". On the second Tutorial...

I probably, will not be coming back.

No Rant, no explanation needed. Just so, your tutorial designers can get the KUDOS for their "excellent" work well done

No stuffz to haz...

but but.... docking computer???

 

[veryDead]

Docking?

It's probably for the best that you don't play this one.

OP the docking tutorial is now obsolete, If you don't want to dock, use the advanced docking computer (Not present in the tutorial but on your ship when you start your new game)

 

[Icybow73]

You can just skip it and purchase a docking computer, you automatically start with one, and purchasing ships comes with SCassist, or dock com

I don't want to come across as rude, but its not that hard.

Ask permission to dock, fly through the slot, identify your pad (and use the compass to guide you), slowly fly in and extend landing gear, and edge down using the UI.

There are good, recent (last couple of years) docking tutorials on YouTube.

Just like Eve, That I used to play since beta

Who the hell plays a game for 5 minutes, doesn’t like it, then makes an account on the forum for that game to complain about the experience.

Seems like the type to leave a bad yelp review at a fast food place.

Bye

Well to be fair you didn't provide any details, just angry foot stomping so if you act like a child, expect to be treated like one

If you think docking in Elite is hard, just take a look at this:

You need to align with the arrows.

 

[VR StarLightPL]

Also it is pretty possible that there is a new bug which makes stations drift, so... without any details provided we can't help you.

The tutorials are really old - good news is they plan to redo them significantly in the next release, in September. Hopefully that will improve things.

Which just goes to underline the old cliché " You can't fix stupid! "

Yeah that will be a great use of finite Dev time!

I've been playing for a month & didn't touch any of the tutorials. What happened to good ole trial & error plus google-fu - I found everything relatively easy, if a little laborious.

...now where's my giant cookie for being a smug git?!
