Docking

I've gotten docking down kindof, every once and a while when I bump into the station and the station starts to shoot at me? Any tips?

Also whats the best way to make money fast with out the ability to jump?

yeah those docking bumps can be fatal

try backing off on the throttle so that your velocity is low so the bump is a knuge

now to make some trade runs for the jump drive the start planet(Atlantis) load up on produce and other food products head to the mining base(Serenity) sell all load up on raw ores back to Atlantis repeat that should get you out of the start system or you can hack the cash in your save file ant text editor will do your bank balance is between the "^"'s at the beginning.have fun any further problem just post.

Enjoy the Choice

Has anyone had a hack around to make something to make you stay stationary with respect to a base, so that you revolve around the base at the same speed the base is rotating, so that it appears that you are sitting still by a non-moving base (apart from that your thrusters are providing the centrifugal acceleration)

Or has this been implemented?

Like the ability to orbit? Thats a good idea- not only could you orbit around bases but also around planets

it is doable but tricky for planets but for bases it's easy match velocity "Home" come in as close as you want drop your velocity to zero and you are stationary relative to the base.

Also when your docking your "suppost to request clearence"

But most of the time I just can't be assed and fly straight into a docking station. ^^
