Basic Tutorial Lesson 1.5
- Up/down thrusters
Take off. Retract your landing gear. Make a lateral roll to face Lave station and assume relative position. Make a longitudinal roll so that the bulk ship and Lave Station appear on a vertical line, with the bulk ship above the station. Ask for landing permission.
Fire your bottom thrusters (U) to accelerate upwards, without rolling. Keep going until you're directly behind the bulk ship. To stop, fire the top side thrusters (O) to assume relative position to the bulk ship and Lave station again.
Select the ship and the station. Accelerate toward the ship, to about 150 m/s. When you're about 1.5 km from the ship, fire your top side thrusters to avoid collision.
Extend your landing gear. Dock at Lave Station.
