Elite: Dangerous - 1.0.0.0

That's what I tried, but I got the aim badly wrong and crashed into the station - didn't manage to get any pips to shields so went bada boom

Well practice in your cheapest ship or with out any cargo

Oh man, sorry to hear that!

Here is my method. I circle around planetside in supercruise so I am facing the entrance when I disengage.
I then accelerate to full speed with all pips to engines and 2 to systems and boost twice and hit FA off on the first one (note only boost when you are at full speed or all you achieve is fast acceleration to full speed). When I get a comfrtable distance away (4Km) I turn FA on, I move 4 pips to systems at 2Km leaving 2 to engines and I slap the 75% speed button as I near the wire frames. I go through at 75% with sys 4 and eng 2 and at worst they begin scanning me as I enter the letter box and it gets cutoff on full entry past the airlock.

You don't have to boost from full engines to get in fast enough, the above will get you there as long as you are facing the right way and don't get the 2 boosts wrong and don't get to full boost.

Can't we practice this in the tutorial station?

How about a Holiday docking race? Same as the FD devs did a few months ago: 1) Undock, 2) clear to 5Km, 3) face away from the station, 4) request to dock and 5) time your flight to landing successful, engines disengaged!

More kudos if filmed but we can trust eachother can't we :norty: prize, 10 slaves from Alberts personal stock! :woot2:

Has the latest patch nerfed trade again? Last night went to Toxandji and no Virocide at all for over an hour!

1.0.2 reverted to an allocation of rare goods per player without the ability to steal other players allocation. So if you got none you already had it!
