To dock with a station, pilots must first request docking permissions by accessing the navigational terminal's "Contacts" tab. Pilots farther than 6.5km of the station will automatically be denied access. In heavily populated or lagging instances, all ports may be occupied and a permit will be denied. Once granted, they will be assigned a landing pad number they should approach and land on. If the pilot does not land within the allotted time slot [usually 10 minutes], the pilot will have to exit the station and request additional permissions. Attempting to dock without permissions will trigger a lethal response within 59 seconds. This includes docking with the incorrect landing platform. | To dock with a station, pilots must first request docking permissions by accessing the navigational terminal's "Contacts" tab.

Upon undocking from your landing platform, you will have 4:59 to exit the station before you are considered a loiterer and a 59-second hostility timer begins. | Upon undocking from your landing platform, you will have 4:59 to exit the station before you are considered a loiterer and a 59-second hostility timer begins. | ||
To either side of the docking port are lights coloured green and red. Pilots should approach on the side with the green lights to reduce the chance of a collision. Note that ''[http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Docking_Computer docking computers]'' currently do not differentiate traffic lanes, and will collide with other auto-piloting ships as they attempt to enter the middle of the docking port. | To either side of the docking port are lights coloured green and red.
