    I own the game but can’t play it because I can’t complete the tutorial as I am to dumb to complete the landing. Why are landing computers not standard on those ships? No, we let the pilots destroy huge parts of our station when they try to hit the tiny landing pad in the right angle and speed, its for sure better and cheaper that way then loading a program in the autopilot that will perform the landing safe and fast…

      For what it’s worth, docking becomes easy with practice (as long as you don’t disable Flight Assist). Good thing, because although the docking computer is pretty good with small ships, it’s drunk half the time with the largest ones.

      I think the free starter ship comes equipped with a docking computer. Have you tried entering the game without completing the docking tutorial?

        Flinging yourself safely through the mail slot and then landing without flight assistance is fun as hell though

        I never found a option to start the game without completing the tutorial, but to be honest I last tried it maybe 3 years ago or so. Since then the PS4 Disk collects dust.

      Simming the space is a pretty integral part of the space sim. I for one really enjoy those parts of the game

        Yes, but some guidance system that prevents huge damage from a ship hitting your space port or your space station with gigantic amounts of kinetic energy sounds like a great and very logical idea and one should assume that it is mandatory.

        But maybe that is what they mean with Dangerous in Elite Dangerous 😜

      I had / have the same issue.

      Hilarious to me that I bought the game at launch. Never made it out of the tutorial and now it’s free.
