Landing is simple in theory, but can take finesse if you don't have a joystick throttle. Approach your pad - if you're close enough and landing gears are down, the radar will be replaced with a diagram showing your ship's position relative to the landing point. In the diagram, there is a dot extending from your ship to the pad, like a shadow; you want to get that dot centered with the pad's circle first. When the dot is centered, the pad's diagram will turn blue, and you can thrust down to complete the landing. Congratulations, you're docked! | Landing is simple in theory, but can take finesse if you don't have a joystick throttle.
