* The docking port on a [[Coriolis Station]] is always positioned on the 'end' that is spinning counter-clockwise. Looking for the advertising holograms often helps. The side of the station opposite of the side with the entry port will also have red lights in the corners that flash periodically.

** Additionally, the hologram of the station in the bottom left of your [[HUD/Center|ship HUD]] will have arrows pointing in the direction of the Access Corridor. The Hologram is oriented in the same direction you are, meaning if you face in the direction the arrows are pointing, you will be facing the same direction as the Access Corridor

* The ship's compass (to the left of the scanner) points towards the docking pad currently allocated to your ship. The indicator will be an outline if the target is behind you.

* When landing, you can't see the landing pad, because it has to be below your ship. However, while approaching the landing pad, you can fly ~~on the back or head straight for~~ the pad, so you can keep ~~the pad~~ in sight. You can then rotate when you are close enough.

* When landing, you can't see the landing pad, because it has to be below your ship. However, while approaching the landing pad, you can fly 'upside down' relative to the pad so you can keep it in sight. You can then rotate when you are close enough.

* Enabling the landing gear decreases your velocity. To speedup landing, you can keep it disabled until you are directly over the pad. However, enabling the landing gear will also make your ship more ~~manoeuvrable~~ at lower speed.
