If you're flying next to a celesistial body on your way to your destination you might get a "Slow Down" warning, but if the timer hasn't hit the 7-second mark yet you can safely ignore it. | ||

Once you reach that threshold, throttle down completely and you should hit the safe disengage speed and distance at the same time. Note that this doesn't leave you much time to press the disengage button. | *** Optionally, when you're about 30 Mm <span style="font-weight:normal;">(0.1 Ls) </span>from your destination manage your throttle so your speed roughly equals the square root of the distance (e.g. if you're 25 Mm away, you want to be moving at 5 Mm/s, 16 Mm - 4 Mm/s, etc.).

** Leverage planets' gravity wells to your advantage: flying next to a planet will slow you down considerably. The closer you are to the planet, the greater the effect. Keeping your throttle at 100% reduces the effectiveness of the maneuver but also reduces the risk of getting stuck in a planet's sphere of influence. | ** Leverage planets' gravity wells to your advantage: flying next to a planet will slow you down considerably.
