Too slow. I always hit the F3 button when I'm at point-blank range to what ever I'm docking with - much, much faster.

If you can't read this, then you're probably illiterate and have no idea what I'm saying anyway.

You can bump up a few places in line at jumpgates by docking with trade groups. Doesn't always work though. --- RR16

Whoever came up with "Mission Commision" should be lined up and shot

I find that that ends up failing more often than not - and when it does, it usually means having to wait even longer than if I'd just sat there and let it go by itself, on autopilot.

use to do it, then i discovered patrol-paths in the nav map. its much faster, and makes it a lot ezier to find jumpholes and bases. yeah, that is a pretty newbie post, then agaian this is a pretty newbie thread

Knowledge is security... anything else, well... good luck

i use to "hitch-hike" patrollers when i jump on another system. I use it just to plot my waypoints easily with out worrying to go to a star or a giant asteroid.

Working hard to earn... but too lazy to do something...

hehe, yeh I do point blank docking with trade lanes n jump holes too. Only hitch hike if im searching for a particular base, usually pirate (like a certain Kusari factions one, annoying to find if playing open SP or MP)

Sometimes the glass is half full, other times its half empty. Usually its just twice as big as it really needs to be

If u c some1 in a defender make fireballs from hunter it can be me
