	The '''Standard Docking Computer''' is an optional internal module that automates the [[Ships\|ship]] docking process with a [[Station]] or [[Surface Port]]. After receiving permission to dock, it can be activated by decreasing the throttle to minimum with [[Flight Assist\|flight assist on]]. It will then take control of the ship and boost, [[Power Distributor\|adjust power]], and deploy [[Landing Gear]] as necessary to guide the ship to its assigned [[Landing Pad]]. Automatic docking can be interrupted at any time during the docking process by increasing the throttle or cutting power to the module, which will return control of the ship to the pilot.

			An upgraded version of the Standard Docking Computer, the [[Advanced Docking Computer]], will be able to automate both the docking process and the departure process.

	A '''~~standard docking computer~~''' is ~~a ship~~ module that automates docking with a ~~space station~~ or ~~surface station (in ED Horizons)~~. ~~The process~~ can be ~~slow so it is not recommended for pilots who need~~ to ~~dock quickly~~.		{{Quote\|Allows automated docking sequence at all starports and outposts.\|In-Game Description}}
			The '''Standard Docking Computer''' is an optional internal module that automates the [[Ships\|ship]] docking process with a [[Station]] or [[Surface Port]]. After receiving permission to dock, it can be activated by decreasing the throttle to minimum with [[Flight Assist\|flight assist on]]. It will then take control of the ship and boost, [[Power Distributor\|adjust power]], and deploy [[Landing Gear]] as necessary to guide the ship to its assigned [[Landing Pad]]. Automatic docking can be interrupted at any time during the docking process by increasing the throttle or cutting power to the module, which will return control of the ship to the pilot.

	~~<p style~~=~~"color: red; text-align: center;">'''-Warning- '''~~Docking ~~Computers are not perfect~~ and ~~may not work correctly at times, which~~ can ~~result in~~ the ~~destruction of player ships~~. ~~Although improper functioning has become very rare since v1~~.4, ~~it does occur so remember that you can override~~ the ~~auto-dock sequence with throttle input or by turning off power~~ to the ~~standard~~ docking ~~computer in~~ the ~~modules tab~~.~~</p>~~		==Usage==
			{{Quote\|To enable the Docking Computer the module must be powered first then a docking request needs to be made to a nearby station. After the request is granted the ship must fly near the docking bay doors and throttle down to zero to enable the Docking Computer. To disable the docking attempt the throttle can be raised to return control back to the pilot.\|Additional In-Game Description}}
			The Standard Docking Computer is useful for players who find the docking process difficult or tedious. It is especially useful for large ships, as they require more precise maneuvering to pass through the [[Access Corridor]] and land on the [[Landing Pad]]. For players who tend to maneuver slowly when docking, using the Standard Docking Computer may also prove to be faster than docking manually. Players can opt to activate automatic docking at any time, even while inside the docking bay of a [[Starport]] or [[Asteroid Base]].

	~~==Uses==~~		While the automatic docking process is generally reliable, it is not foolproof. Other ships flying through an Access Corridor at high-traffic stations may not be recognized by the Standard Docking Computer, resulting in accidental collisions followed by fines or ship destruction. Sometimes, automatic docking may decide on an erroneous flight path that travels through objects, such as a station's exterior, which may also result in fines or ship destruction. These are fringe cases, however, and even if they occur, a wary player will still have time to interrupt automatic docking and avoid serious accidents.

	~~A docking computer can be used with any ship and might be especially handy for players who find~~ the docking process ~~to be hard or don't want to keep doing it every time they dock. It~~ is ~~very useful to dock larger ships too~~, ~~as those require more precise maneuvering.~~

	~~The docking computer~~ is ~~automatically activated when docking permission is granted~~. If the ~~ship is moving a message will appear to slow down before the docking computer will take control of the ship. With the [[Flight_Assist\|flight assist on]]~~, ~~when the throttle is set to zero~~ or ~~if the ship was initially stopped, the docking computer will begin maneuvering the~~ ship. ~~To cancel the auto-docking computer sequence and hand control back to the pilot~~, ~~disable the~~ docking ~~computer module, or put power to forward/backward thrusters, or turn off the~~ flight ~~assist.~~

	~~'''Note:''' Docking computers tend to have trouble if anything bumps you~~, ~~especially~~ as ~~you pass through the docking port. Generally they are reliable, but will sometimes cut out once inside the~~ station ~~leaving you to manually traverse to your pad.~~

	'''Note:''' Docking computers will self deploy landing gear if the landing gear are not deployed before auto-dock is initiated. Docking Computers will dock you faster if you let them self deploy landing gear compared to pre-deploying the landing gear before auto-dock.

	~~'''Note:''' Docking Computers~~ may ~~help prevent getting reckless flying~~ fines ~~from collisions as even when traveling above 100 m/s the speeding warning indicator does not appear while auto-docking~~.

	~~'''Note:''' One can manually fly into the station or to the landing pad~~ and ~~then let the docking computer engage by pressing the 'X' key (zero throttle keybind)~~, ~~which sets all throttle~~ to ~~zero~~ and ~~thus results in almost instant transfer of control to the docking computer~~.

	==~~History~~==		==Videos==
	Docking Computers first appeared in the original [[Elite]] game. They were costly, but worth the investment as docking was - for the time - a complex process, during which even experienced players occasionally crashed their ship. Automated docking also was faster.

	During automated docking, the computer would play "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss II, a homage to the (very slow) docking scene in the 1968 epic science fiction movie ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' by Stanley Kubrick which was set to the same piece.
