    Yes you need to request docking (Left comms panel > Contacts > Highlight station > Request Docking) ...only do this when you're less than 7.5Km away, otherwise you'll be denied.

    Re: Elite : Dangerous

    Atm I'm trying to acquire the mission. It's at system LFT 1448... I'm trying to find it via the USS and I'm not having much luck.

    Any tips?

    Scratch that.. just stopped a USS and got mauled.

    Re: Elite : Dangerous

    Damn you Hexus guys, got me hooked to this! Thanks for the tips, beginning to enjoy this more.

    https://gyazo.com/0c5e8e256010cdef38d198ff630cf95c

    This was a result of me trying to do a 10k Cr mission.... Recover 1 Can of Salvage.

    My first attempt was NPC (I think) but he got blew to smithereens by another wing that just popped in after I did. Thankfully as I made a hasty escape. I was managing my power/shield in the process lol. Was a nail biter as I thought I wasn't going to supercruise in time.

    I get out...

    2nd attempt...

    One guy is still there when I come back... I evade, keep spinning and vbanking left and right randomly. Getting into Supercruise and leave. Wait a few mins and go back. Collected...

    48% Hull // 4% Fuel // 100% Reserve

    This game is growing on me !

    Hopefully my replacement motherboard will turn up today, perhaps then I can dust off one of my old ships as you are tempting me back. Not played for ages.

    48% hull? Minor scratch, you will get worse

    Well for me it was an achievement lol

    I had died on several occasions and not being able to get away. But now I had done it twice and managed to complete a mission. Need to keep saving up.

    How hard is it to mine a ton of materials? As I see some contracts that pay nearly 80k for a ton of "X of Materials"

    Re: Elite : Dangerous

    I haven't played for around 6 months, but mining was very slow. For those contracts you are better off trading and going somewhere where they are sold cheaper. However, be warned you can't pay it off in chunks, so only pick ones that your cargo hold can handle.

    Just scraping out of a conflict zone is always fun. I run my Vulture with just lasers so there isn't any ammo to replenish so I have a nasty habit of staying out longer than I should

    Re: Elite : Dangerous

    Go straight for the station, no messing about after dropping out of supercruise. Max pips to engines and keep boosting. You run the risk of being scanned if you try to line up too much or take your time. As you get closer to the station consider silent running - but tbh if you go straight for it you'll more than likely get in without issue. Chaff can sometimes stop a scan from completing (not sure this is intended behaviour, but hey what the hell!) so take some along.
