Elite Dangerous: Dahan Starport Docking Protocol

The Federal Way, the Right Way
Elite Dangerous

  1. Ensure your vessel is within sensor contact range before requesting docking permission. Your navigation compass will target the starport, enabling you to correctly orient your ship for approach.
  2. Navigate to your Contacts panel. Highlight and select the starport from your contact list, and activate the Request Docking signal.
  3. Upon successful processing, you will be authorised to enter the starport, and assigned a landing pad. Pay careful attention to your allotted pad number – attempting to alight on an incorrect pad is a crime, and will trigger a lethal response.
  4. Note the docking assist interface, now showing your authorisation window countdown. Failure to dock within the allotted time will require you to restart the process from the beginning.
  5. Match rotation with the starport and proceed directly through the airlock into the docking bay. Remember, the airlock is a no-stop zone – loitering is a crime.
  6. Once inside the docking bay, starport control will enable automatic rotation correction.
  7. Your navigation compass will update to show your allotted pad, which will activate landing lights to enable identification.
  8. Failure to observe docking protocol before entering the docking bay is a crime, and will trigger a lethal response.
  9. Ensure that your landing gear is deployed for final approach. Note the docking assist interface changes to show ship orientation and position. Use this interface to help align your ship above the centre point and in a parallel attitude to the pad, with the rear of your ship visible in the interface.
  10. Correct alignment causes the interface to light up; employ a controlled descent to complete the docking procedure.
  11. Follow Federal protocol to avoid ship destruction, and enjoy a safe and profitable stay at our facilities.
