Docking at a station

When landing a ship at a station at first you must request docking permission (when withing 7.5km).

If you have a docking computer installed, you can then just automatically dock.

If not, you need to fly into the station, find your landing pad, deploy your landing gear and align the ship to the target location and thrust down until contact.

Also make sure your ship is aligned with the arrows. A few times I have spent about 5min to notice that I am trying to dock backwards.

Best of luck commander, O7!

Pay attention to your fuel meter!
I once accepted a mission that was some distance away, but I didnt check the fuel between the jumps and I got stranded in a random system.
Fortunately there are Fuel Rats. You will need to contact them and provide the required information and they will fly to you where ever you are and refuel you. Huge respect to them!
Thats all from me. Best of luck commander, O7!
