If you are in such, this scenario didn't happen to you before. After that you're not flying shieldless anymore.


I've rather learned from my mistakes!

I can safely say almost every player, no matter how many hours they have in the game, still occasionally boost into station walls, lol.

If you would step back from the game aspect and look at the RP traffic control aspect, docking computers would be encouraged at all stations so they could control inbound/outbound traffic. The "DCs are for noobs" thing is just an in-game pride issue. Landing is not all that hard unless you do it FA Off, and if you are an FAO person then I salute you! I use docking computers to bypass a part of the game I have done millions of times and, frankly, don't want to bother with if I can use that time to do something else to save down time at the station.

MBCxShadowx Aren't we just perfect! I have over a few thousand hours playing this game. I am 3 x Elite and still use a DC for landing my Corvette, I can do it without any trouble as I have had to when DC is broken, You can call me lazy but not a noob

HappyComrieThis isn't about can't. This is about don't feel like.


Exactly. I am perfectly capable to land on my own, it just saves me some valuable moments when I can get up from my chair and tend to my disabled family member in the next room. Specially when she's having a coughing fit or likewise.

I thought the real reason to install DC is to play The Blue Danube.

Don't trust docking computers. Never have, never will.
