Belly Flop Dock - Author: General H Storm <- Credits

You need a ship with some pulling power and agility (stronger than your enemy).
Match speed with a target.
Align yourself with their docking port.
Manually dock with the enemy ship.
Aim yourself towards a large, slow enemy or planet.
Hit LDS.
Undock and pull up or down quickly.
Watch the fireworks. Throwing Tugs/Patcoms into cruisers/destroyers is the best.
An alternate method is to place the docked ship between you and the enemy.
Use your belly/dorsal thrusters to close in on the enemy ship.
Undock and watch the sparks. This is where the "Belly Flop" comes from.

One other thing i like the look of is Antimatter cargo pods ... why bother with real weapons? ... in theory if i just dump an antimatter pod at the center of a L-point and launch a missile at it when mega freighters come through ... i don't think they will question too much about dumping their pods right? >¦D what would be left? ... probably nothing, definatly no smaller cargo pods ... hmmmmmm ... *clicks the EoC icon*

That is surely not possible. I don't think that manual dock is possible. In fact I'm sure it's not.

Antimatter pods are useful for trade. You'll need them later, trust me.

It was possible in the original I-War.

Manual dock is not possible in I-War 2, though you could script something like manual dock.

Scripting manual dock, eh? Could be worthy, though perhaps a touch tricky.
