The Trouble With Gunstars...

It's a good idea with that mission to trade for a better autorepair first. I believe theres a trade or sub-mission to get one.

And on a side note - I've found if you put full power to thrusters you tend to dock considerably faster.

Yes, at least take all power off of weapons. You don't need them.

You dont have to wait until the gunstars go offline before undocking. Time how much your shields will hold up against the gunstars. Undock within that time and by the time the gunstars go offline, you would have been half way to the next gunstar.

After you undock, rotate your ship so that your docking collar will face the gunstar's docking collar. That way your ship wont have to waste precious time aligning itself with the gunstar during the autodock sequence.

It sucks getting to the last gunstar and your ship orientation is slightly off causing autodock to rotate your ship almost a full circle before docking while the remaining gunstar is blasting away at you!

all you need is timing and overriding the thrusters you must do it a little quick..........or just cheat your way thru!!!!
