1. Select your target- its big, Coriolis shaped and has a name- wonderful thing called a "space port", no clicky, no see, comprede?
2. When you look at your target, does it spin left or right- or some other weird way?
3. When you are in front of the dock, it will ALWAYS turn LEFT- aka anticlockwise(or standing still like Jaques).
4. Can you see arrows on your mini target(bottom left holo vid) it has them, but they can be hard to notice. These give a general indication of where to letter box it.
5. If you see it spinning right, you are at the end of the dock- it also has small red lights on (green at the front).
6. Are you too close to it, yes it sound silly but try moving 3k away from it to get a better view- this may save you 15mins of "hunt the slot"...
7. Can you see the planet? As the slot will ALWAYS face the planet
