How do you enter the !#$%¨&* rotating space station ? I always crash into that !!

He he. haven't tried it on the java-ported Version, but on my trusty old C64 many years ago...
The trick was to get onto the imaginary axis of rotation of the SS. So move towards that, and rotate your ship to look straight at the 'slot'. When all the sides of the SS were symmetrical (they were docedahedrons or suchlike?), you could move straight towards it. You might have to rotate your ship so that the 'slot' was horizontal, can't remember.
Anyway, I do remember taking HOURS doing this before buying that docking computer.
All you elite-fans might want to take a look at www.eve-Online.com. However this thing is a $12pcm subscription...
