@Cresthen: All ships will have some inertia by virtue of having weight, even without cargo, you still have weapons, bats/bots, pwr gens, etc. Its like killing the engines, then use thrusters and left/right strafe to maneuver into position. Once you work out the specifics for the type of ship fully equipped but no cargo, the same skills can be used on capships as well. You just always have to be thinking ahead. I have watched others maneuvering a capship and could tell the instant they made the wrong decision and what the result was going to be. You can't wait until you get there to start your maneuvering. It is too late by then.
is the only thing left to do.I know it sucks to get hung up on an auto docking routine and and just spin around in circles. :wacko:
Sometimes I have gotten out of that by clicking on a spot in space opposite of where I am trying to dock and hitting F2 (goto) to break the cycle and start over. -
Ship handling 101. First thing Noob's get taught on the bridge before they are allowed to take the helm or be the 'Gator. Inertia, know the effects of it, how much the weight of your ship will impact it and how to counter it. In other words, always planning several course and speed changes ahead of where you actually are. Just saying.
