Yes mate but you have to land somewhere that sells them.

Are you using a joystick? I struggled until I mapped the top hat to thrusters ...

Forward -> Up
Back -> Down
Left -> Left
Right -> Right

He has a copy of Alberts X45 config which already has them mapped.

You want to get the hang of manual landing. It's 10x faster than docking computers and only takes a bit of practice and correct joystick control mapping and tuning. Come on TS if you want some advice.

They are available, just shop around in High Tech systems.

In the BETA they were flaky - slow approach, sometimes stuck in the entrance, slow inside station, also with some weird flight angles.

I haven't tried one in the gamma or since release, so I ought to do so. You've put it back on my "to do" list!

Not something you can use if you're wanted or carrying illegal cargo.
