[malorob]

so in VR this is a struggle i think i am going to colide or crush other npc ships. going into the dock or station

question

is there a way to change to front lower cockpit to fly the ship till i get use to flying it.

or is there a trick to flying this beast.

flying anaconda is like flying a boeing 722 imagine ur on a elevated plane and you have a big belly under you.

see the type 10 had great views .

Fly as if you are going to scrape your head on the top of the letterbox. Conda is opposite of python, where python is tall above the cockpit, conda has big belly below cockpit.

Try to follow an npc ship in right behind him so less chance of collision. You can get it far enough over to let other sgips out at the same time though :)

if all fails, it does have a S2 slot where you can fit a docking computer. that way you can also see how the docking computer brings the beast in and get some guidance to how to bring it in safely.

it just. it's long, not wide (for a large ship).

the only ship i've ever had size troubles in was the baluga and that was only passing another baluga in the slot.

Spoiler alert. 2 balugas can't pass each other in the mail slot. the other baluga got annihilated for blocking the entrance while i just slipped in after he died :D

did you get a fine? this is my biggest worry..... even on auto docking it gets close

i got no fine and i wasn't fully in the mail slot so i didn't trigger the warning, and i was wiggleing as much as i could to try and get free. boom, other baluga died and i skirted in :D

still think bigger ships should have another entrence to avoid collision
the the npc can really test people ......

thanks heaps for your share and help.
i am going to stick with this anaconda as it can make not bad money in it for passengers
till i get the cash to try something else.

might get it into a fight and see how it gose and where i should improve on it.
thanks again

A-rate the conda and no AI will have a chance.

Buy docking computer, they are cheap. I have not manually docked in 3 years. (well I wave on the odd occation to check I still know how).

Use your free camera, position it behind your ship with good veiw, and mabye that will help when trying to fit thru the mailslot.
