It has been years, so I asked my phone for you.
AI Overview
In Endless Sky, docking refers to parking a ship at a planet or station. This is achieved by landing on a planet and then pressing "I" to access the Player Info menu. From there, navigate to the Ship Info tab, select the desired ship, and click the "Park" button. Parked ships are safe from destruction and crew upkeep costs are waived. Alternatively, you can park a ship by clicking on it in space and selecting the "Park Ship" button.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Landing: First, you need to land on a planet or station. You can do this by pressing "L" after selecting a landing target on the map (M key).
- Accessing the Player Info Menu: Once landed, press the "I" key to open the Player Info menu.
- Navigating to Ship Info: Go to the "Ship Info" tab within the menu.
- Selecting the Ship: Use the "Previous" and "Next" buttons to cycle through your ships and select the one you want to park.
- Parking: Click the "Park" button to park the selected ship.
Important Considerations:
- Safe Storage: Parked ships are safe from destruction and do not incur crew upkeep costs.
- Cargo: Parked ships cannot have cargo, but you can equip them with outfits for storage.
- Moving Parked Ships: If you unpark a ship in a different system than the one you are currently in, it will automatically start moving towards your current location, provided it has enough fuel and can navigate through available systems.
