Quick docking can be done on any Planet but not Stations nor Asteriods.

Main thing to remember is have the Docking Ring Targeted, if not you will end up playing chicken with the planet.

Headon : with the docking ring targeted you fly to it and time the docking command to when you are Just behind the Jaws of the Docking Ring

Sideon: this one is easier from the right hand side and safer as it gives you a chance to pull out if the dock fails if being chased by another pilot. So with the ring targeted fly to Above the yellow/black painted bar but not below and press dock just behind the jaws of the ring.

WithNPC: not always an advantage but if say you are being chased and NPC's are docking blocking you from quick docking, you can use the above actions and if timed correrctly you can dock with them so saves you precious seconds if under fire. The e.g. shows me hitting F3 early but you can with good timing catch the NPC just as they hit the docking animation so go straight in.

N.B. If you are lagging you will need to change the timing of the dock command to earlier, depending only how badly you are lagging.

ps the bit I forgot in the alpha wreck looting avi, use these AVI's as you want just include this txt file.
