For anyone who doesn't know, they remade Elite in 2015. Space truck driving simulator. Was this a big popular game when it came out? I cannot remember.

    I both loved and hated that game. I couldn't figure out the docking, sometimes it docked sometimes it crashed...even though I had the ship lined up and rotarions/spin lined up.

    I've only just realized how wrong the physics was on that. If your ship is already rotating at the same angular velocity as the space station, then it doesn't make sense that you have to keep tapping left to maintain it.

    It also would have been nice if it either counted you docked before the window filled the whole screen, or at least provided some sort of inner line/box so you could see what the rotation was doing in the final half second...

    If I remember right, there was no inner box like in Elite Dangerous, so it was only a matter of hitting that point and being lined up. So a valid strategy was to get close, rotate with the station, and full power in. Having a Kraft joystick made the rotation part a lot easier. Anyone who used an Atari style and could do it... you guys were legend.

    That game was so hard.
