Docking with a station in "Mantis". In addition to stations, you can ships to hijack them.
In the guide we will tell you in detail how to dock with a ship or station in Starfield, what to do if you cannot “stop” and what restrictions this action imposes.
How to dock with a ship
Docking with a ship in Starfield is possible in some cases. To dock with an allied ship, press "E" and then hold "R" to dock. If the starship is enemy, you will first need to destroy its shield, and then destroy the engine, shooting only at this module. Next, in target fixation mode, if the ship is “immobilized,” hold “R”.
In more detail about boarding in Starfield described in a separate article.
How to dock at a station in Starfield
While exploring space, you may need to dock at a space station to clear a location, visit a merchant, or complete a quest. To visit the station, fly closer: you can dock to the stations from a distance no more than 500 meters.
Click on “E”, after which a docking button will appear under the station name - hold "R". It is also worth noting that while “parked” you cannot use fast movement. You will need to disconnect the ship before continuing.
The ship does not dock with the station - what to do
Sometimes a docking bug can happen. Docking to the station may not be available if flew too close – in this case, it will not be possible to “select” the object. Fly a little further away and press "E" to select a station. After that, hold "R". It is also worth noting that sometimes a situation occurs in which the character gets up from the helm. In this case, you need to check the binds and make sure that you press “E” and do not hold the button.
Is it possible to fast travel when docked?
Perform gravity jumps or fast travel not possible during docking. In the event of a “stop” at the station, only three options are available: go on board the station, stand up from the helm to move around your ship, or undock.
