To dock with a station, pilots must first request docking permissions by accessing the navigational terminal's "Contacts" tab. Pilots farther than 7,500m from a station will be automatically denied access and asked to approach to said distance first. In heavily populated or lagging instances, all ports may be occupied and a permit will be denied. Once granted, the pilot will be assigned a landing pad number he or she 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.

If docking control responds with a generic "docking request denied" message, then it's likely all landing pads are occupied. Logging out of the open game and into solo play will usually fix this. Once docked, you can switch back to open play. | |||
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. | ||
