#Press the activate key to dock. (enter/return by default)
The [[docking bay]] with the solid blue force field is '''not''' the [[docking bay]] you enter to get into the station. It is the exit bay you fly out of when leaving the station. Do NOT attempt to enter the exit bay. Other ships may exit and crash into you and you will take damage from the force field and can be destroyed if you attempt it.
Since VO 1.8.196, ships have the ability to automatically dock (autodock) upon entering the docking bay. This feature is enabled by default on Android devices, and may be enabled/disabled on all platforms under the 'Options' menu.
== How do I Jump/Warp? ==
=== How do you know if you are in a storm? ===
Ion storms interfere with the jump computer and you will be notified when your ship is pulled into an ion storm. If no matter how much you fly around the distance meter thing reads a solid 0m you are either flying in circles around an asteroid, or you're in a storm! There will also be ions everywhere giving a rain-like effect.
=== How do I avoid storms and stay safe when in a storm? ===
#When you realize you are entering a storm prepare to orientate yourself to the storm exit (green plus on HUD) in a hurry.
#Use the select nearest target key to alert you to approaching bots
#Keep and an eye on your radar for hostiles (red dots)
While using the Navigation computer to plot out your course is a great convenience, the standard jump path is the shortest distance between the two sectors. The risk of using the standard jump path is that you often jump across and into storms. Pilots may avoid some storms by using the more time consuming method of plotting a course of shorter jumps around active storms and asteroid belts. Your radar can only spot enemies 500m away, so don't think you are out of danger when you see no bots.
== How do I Backup/Fly Backwards? ==
You can actually fight while backing up. You must be in physics mode (use the ' key to toggle modes) and decelerate ( Use the s key on keyboard). This is generally called backpedaling. You can't turbo in reverse. This maneuver is impossible in arcade mode.
== How do I avoid getting shot? ==
Use the strafe keys and roll keys to avoid getting hit. The default keys are "a&d" for left/right, "r&f" for up/down and "q&e" for left/right rolls. Train your space kung-fu, young grasshopper!

== Cargo ==
=== How do I Pick up Cargo? ===
Look for the purple dots on your [[HUD/Radar|radar screen]]. Fly over the green [[Cargo_Crates|cargo crates ]] to automatically pick up the cargo. If you don't have enough room in your cargo hold, you will fly right thought the cargo.
=== How do I Know What the Cargo is? ===
You can check out what is in a cargo crate before you pick it up if you select by targeting it using "b" to get more information. A description of the object you've selected should be on the right side of your [[:HUD]]. If you press k (or whatever you have bound to bring up the character information screen) with a cargo crate targeted, you will get even more information. The [[Cargo_Crates#Color_coding|colour of the crate ]] also gives you a clue as to what it is.
=== How do I Drop Cargo? ===
YES!
If a pilot wanders away from monitored space, they are running the risk of being engaged in PvP. These pilots should be prepared to fight or flee any time they leave monitored space. Pilots are encouraged to form convoys or fly in groups for protection when traveling in unmonitored space.
=== How do I duel a Member of my Own FactionWhat about duels? ===If you want to practice your PvP without having to find someone of a different worrying about faction loss you can request a duel. To duel you need to use the /duel command.
=== How do I Shoot Other Ships? ===
== What Does License Requirements Mean? ==
As an example, when you see -/1/-/-/- in the required licenses area it represents the minimum license levels you need in each area to purchase the item. The dash (-) means there's no minimum requirement, or that you already meet the minimum requirement. A number means you need to have at least that level. So in this example (-/1/-/-/-) you only need license level 1 in Light Weapons to purchase the item.
== How Do I Level Up? ==
For example:<br>
Combat Piloting License: 0 (240/20001000)
0 = Your current license level
<br>240 = Your current "score" in the Combat Piloting category
<br>2000 1000 = The "score" required to achieve the next highest level
You will automatically earn the license for the next level when you have enough XP.
You can check it out in your character info, k for out of station, character info button in the character info tab for in station. There will be some information like this:
Combat 0 (1234234/20001000)
On the left is the skill and current level. The left number of the right part is your current experience, the right number is the experience needed for your next level.
