How the hell do you dock

[Volk]

I'm on the neighbor mission and supposed to dock at nova at luna. Literally cannot do it. No menu pops up and I'm sick of crashing. What am I doing wrong

Target ship or station then press R

[Just Chill]

You need to target the station you want to dock at (by pressing E (NOT HOLDING!!)).
There will be new button prompts.
1.) Talk (hail them via comm)
2.) Dock (this is what you need)

As with the rest of the game, you don't actually fly. I also tried docking first time by flying closely and lining up my ship - wrong! It's another cutscene + fast travel.

[Verdeth]

also be in range 0-500m

May there be videos...

You can't even enter the dock ship/station from your own ship by walking, you need to fast travel and cutscene again.

press E to target the craft your attempting to dock with and HAIL them. then once you are within range of 500 the R key will pop up, then pressing R will dock your ship.

Is targeting the station the same thing by just looking at it?

Press E (on PC). Do *not* hold E down. That will make you leave your seat. Do hold down R to dock.

I crashed and burned three times before I figured it out. I like the game, but any tutorial, and maps, ugh, suck!

[Volk]

Dang I figured it out thanks. Talk about jumping through hoops lol

Trying to actually fly your ship to a location and land it.

While in pilot seat, look at target vessel.
TAP "E" to select vessel. The option to "Hail" should appear.
TAP "E" to hail. Or was it to hold E? Holding E exits the chair. Anyway, option to dock should appear.
HOLD "R" to dock.

Not that some ships won't let you dock. They are either set dressing, or part of a quest chain that isn't activated or not implemented yet.
