Freeport 9 is almost impossible to dock with when flying large ships. So far Ive tried 3 times in a row, and I havent been able to autodock with it at all.
If Im lucky, then I can fly close to it, hit F3, and then the ship will quickdock. If Im unlucky, the ship will try to manoeuvre away from the station and try a normal autodock which, of course, it cannot do.
I chatted with xit today while he was trying to dock with the station. He eventually gave up in disgust as he was completely unable to dock
Suggestions:
Having taken a lot of radiation damage lately, I thought of a new piece of equipment the Angle Life Support System. When equipped, this will reduce all radiation damage by half.
How about making jumpholes from New York to Hamburg, Manchester, and Shikoku? Im asking simply because from New York it is a looong way to the other Houses making jumpholes would cut down travel time.

The question, in my mind, is: why mine at all?
There are two major problems:
1) Most, if not all, the lucrative mining fields are pirate territory so you spend a lot of your time fighting pirates instead of mining. And, lets face it, the miner is not meant for dog fighting.
2) Once youve filled your hull (assuming you survived for long enough), youve got to travel at least 2 3 systems to fetch a good price.
All in all, there is no point in mining beyond pure RP. You want to fight pirates? Fly a VHF. You want to make money? Fly a Large Train.
Mining simply takes too much time to be worth the wile
Just a random idea: is it possible to make mining missions? For example: mine at least 500 diamonds and return them to station X. We will then pay you Y credits (where Y, of course, should be suitably large). That might make mining worth it
