How do you dock on Oolite?

Answer 1

Docking in Oolite is a painfully difficult adventure, and a major source of death for Jamesons. It's a very good idea to get a docking computer as soon as possible.


Until you can get the docking computer, you'll need to risk your life with a manual docking. You need to line up carefully with the big docking bay slot - there's a navigation buoy lined up with the slot. From the buoy, fly towards the docking bay. When you get close to the bay, you'll need to start spinning. The actual slot spins, and you need to spin with it. Carefully match your spin with the slot's, and you should be able to fly through it and safely dock.
