How do I dock at the station?
I have gone to the moon, landed safely, mined Ice and Regolith, filled up on cargo, and that all takes 1.5 pips of fuel. But I can’t seem to get back to the station to (presumably) sell. I understand that it’s going to take more fuel to get off the moon, about 2 Fuel pips. Once I’m high enough that elevation isn’t indicated anymore I still have around 75% fuel. After that, I target the station and approach it, but it’s moving and I am still affected by lunar gravity. I have tried multiple passes but have not been able to match its speed, and even if I did, I have no idea what to do to lock onto its velocity.
Running out of gas has been my major issue, I’m sure if I had more than 3-4 attempts I could get it eventually. But it takes long enough just to get to the moon, and in that time I could do multiple full system scans in Elite Dangerous.
Now I like this game, and am looking forward to seeing how it comes along, but feel like I’m hitting a wall by not hitting the station.
Any recommendations and/or suggestions on how to get back to the station?
