I know, but the problem is, I’ve pretty much never been killed twice by the same Commander. Every time it’s a different one. And trying to block every single one of them (after they killed you), seems like tilting at windmills, so I never tried this. I just go straight to solo / private.

What was the war really about?
What do new spaceship models have to do with the human condition and the nature of war?
And was this all orchestrated by a sinister cabal?

You could say that the Guardian ship-launched fighter is criminally underused, but you know you can JUST FLY it right? One of the coolest things in the game!

Agree with all of your said. Anyway, it seems to me that if I want to automatically fly and land my spaceship in 3311, this is a function my ship should offer. I'd even go so far as to say they shouldn't take up any module space. If that were the case, we probably wouldn't be having this discussion.

I've been reading through all the old issues lately, and they're absolutely amazing. It's a real shame that the magazine was discontinued. It was such a great asset to the community. o7

I don't see why CMDRs use a docking computer, personnaly I love manually docking and taking off. However, I can't fly without a supercruise assist. What's your opinion about this ? #EliteDangerous

Since I started using VoiceAttack, I've become lazy. I use both.

As independent commanders, do we serve any purpose beyond clearing trade routes for big capital?
This continued shift of GalNet and the Pilots Federation towards a marketplace for opportunistic mercenary contracts is deeply alarming.
