Hehe. Whoops. Big crater on Vendrin Junction VI now.

Unless it has been changed, all you need to do is steer slightly to one side of the target station or planet and when you get in range, the "Shuttle Over" button turns green, then push "S". Insta-stop, insta-repairs, etc. In fact, when you exit, if you are fast enough, when you get back into your ship, you will find that it is still moving and if you hit the full speed button fast enough, you will quickly be at full speed again.

This is a bug and quite unfair during combat since you can recharge shields and do repairs instantaneously with respect to the combat timeframe. Granted, you are only cheating yourself. I think planets/stations should not allow "Shuttling Over" when >1 ship is within a small radius. (Elite has such a restriction, probably to prevent this exploit.)

Slick.
