edge of identification, reveals that dangerous place where. That's what I tend to do: most of all: take your time! (within 10 minutes). in demanding Turn White or disappear- th colonizer Is himself caught in the ambivalence. Hover above the pad and check your changed radar mode, also listen to the beeps.Once in pay attention to your targeting: it points you to your landing pad (the crosshair on the upper left side of your radar).Remember: r & f, which can help you go up & down.Assuming you can clearly see the docking bay (assuming this is a large station) and you're in decent reach (Point your nose towards the station and try to follow their rotation.Fly towards your destined station and get in front of it (nothing more!).Practice makes perfect and don't forget: you got 10 minutes! Should be more than enough. It helps! No joke: every 'major' ship you buy will be delivered without a docking computer (I noticed this for my Type6, Dolphin, Krait MkII & Krait Phantom) and because of that I've made a habit out of flying a vanilla ship back home "as is". don't postpone but get familiar with docking. I know you don't want to hear this but seriously. But you might just get some life back into your docking computer.īut. At the cost of other modules health, so it's gonna cost you one way or the other. Thats the actual trigger, it doesnt care how close or far you are from your destination. Supercruise glide takes you to about 4km above the surface before it disengages. This will halt your ship after which all damaged modules (those which no longer function) get repaired. You can actually drop out right on top of surface installations if you do it right. ![]() Be sure to approach landing pads from the right. You'll find the option on the right panel, the "ship" tab. Have tried docking twice now, did everything right (yes had landing gear down and permission and had the pad number right) had the pad/landing target go blue but nothing happens even though I am right there touching the pad -eventually it times out, says I am trespassing and I get killed. if you're going to do planetary landings this becomes an essential trait.Īs for your damaged module. It was a grind to make the money do not really want to do it again. Wish I could revert back to before I damaged ship. Otherwise, it's possible the auto-dock could get you in trouble - e.g.: if it drives you into another ship while speeding.Originally posted by ianscott1957:Being new to the game I have just found that my Auto docking was damaged. Lesson learned: Be mindful of your speed and surroundings even when using auto-dock. I've also had some times recently (particularly when coming in from odd angles and/or at high starting speed) where the auto-dock has actually driven me into the side of a space station. Sometimes, they seem to gripe even when I'm below the limit (e.g.: at 99 m/s) but I've also noticed a few times where the auto-dock will actually go up to at least 101 m/s. One thing I've also noticed recently is that the traffic controller will occasionally complain (harmlessly - all bark, no bite) about my speed even while I'm using auto-dock. ![]() (After which I'll usually run out and come immediately back for repairs.) But of course I've never actually hit another ship either.Įssentially, in Elite: Dangerous, speeding is not punishable unless someone other than the speeder is getting hurt. Not even the few odd times that I've collided with the station internals, or the borders of the exit port itself. Never once been fined or bountied for this. The ship will be mass-locked until 2km altitude preventing jumps. If leaving the planetary surface, hold the'up' thrust until the engines start and increase altitude. Align with hyper-jump target if needed. How to Leave a Planets Surface in Elite Dangerous To depart a station, either select Launch or Auto-Launch and increase altitude.Maneuver as appropriate to avoid collisions. Note: Be mindful of other ships in the area.Full forward throttle & boost until clear of Mass Lock.Move directly "up" from the landing pad, until "vertically" centered within the station.(I let the computer handle landing, most of the time.): This is more or less my usual process for launching from inside a space station.
