We’ve swapped random results, where getting the best outcome (a god roll) was in the hands of R.N.Gesus unless you were prepared to take 1,000 stabs at it now instead the results are consistent, but every module must be engineered from Grade 1 to Grade 5 and as a result more materials are required.įor players who’ve not engineered their ships, this is all new. For players who’ve done ship engineering it’s a matter of personal opinion if the new process is better or worse. March 2018 CMDR-Arithon Beginners Guides (6)Įngineering has changed. I would only recommend attempted this when you are comfortable with landing on stations/outputs -Īs it more complex than docking/landing on stations/outposts.14. If the location you're trying to land is on a planet, then take a look at my other guide here. Its the same process of centring yourself, then lowing yourself down onto the pad. Once close enough you will get another small map showing your relative position on the pad. These are marked the same as stations, with a number on them. If you are landing on a outpost, then you dont need to fly through a door just find the landing pad. If everything is okay, you should hear Docking successful. Ideally you want to be just above the centre then lower onto the platform.Īlign yourself with the middle (the docking circles will turn blue), then lower yourself down. I suggest at this time you deploy your landing gear (before trying to land). When you are close to it, the radar will change into small map showing where you are relative to the pad. I highly recommend never using boost inside the station - it never ends well. When found you it, you will need to fly towards it (keeping an eye on your speed and other ships).īare in mind other ships are using the docking area, so try not to block the way. So spin your ship around and look for the correct numbered pad. Once pass the force-fields, you will see landing-pads marked with various numbers, like so Now throttle up (good idea to keep it under 100m/s when close) and head though the blue force-field (these force-fields keep the oxygen inside the station). This is what the station door looks like: If the station is of the polyhedron style (the ones which look like a giant dice), the door direction is marked with a arrow, as shown below: This can be a pain to find sometimes, however just remember that the door usually faces towards the planet. If we are landing on a station (a big structure), we first need to align ourselves with the station's door - the large blue rectangle. With permission given, you will be told to proceed to a certain landing-bay, and given a timer (around 10mins) If not, it might be because the station/outpost was busy, so try asking again. Hopefully after a few seconds you will get permission to land. Now press enter and see if you get permission. Once you do, you should see the following a little menu pop-up Then hit the tab for contacts, then scroll down to the station/outpost name then select it. Once close enough, you will need to bring up the contact panel (at the bottom left, or by pressing 1), You will need to get in range (under 7km) to ask for permission to dock/land. When you exit super-cruise, you will find yourself near a station/outpost - maybe 8-12km away. Later on buy a docking computer to help with this, however those are expensive for new players.
Unfortunately its not an easy process and something you will need to learn at the start of the game.
HOW TO GET CORE SYSTEM PERMIT ELITE DANGEROUS HOW TO
Its great being able to fly in space, but you will also need to know how to land/dock on stations and outposts.
