It's math. Depends on the distance and the cruise-chargeup-time of your vessel. You calculate the quickest way, and that's what I use. Rule of thumb: 1,5k distance is the limit for big crafts (with low thrust), 2k for fighters etc. .

Depends. 2k is usually the magical "border".

Means I cruise if more than 2k away from the lane, thrust if less than that.

So... Both.

edit. and yes, what Senshi said, smaller distance for the bigger ships.

Like everybody else, it depends on distance. But I put my vote in using cruise because I use it most of the time, as most situations require it.

[19:25:12] Johnny (Jam): Tomtom, I will beat you with a spoon.
[14:22:56] Prarabdh Thakur: KILL HIM WITH A SHEEP.
[17:40:48] Eagle (Junes): Tom should be slapped with a spoon.
[11:32:18] Warspite: Thank you for being so awesome Tom. <3
[18:17:36] Metano: I love you tomtom
[20:06:24] Warspite: I will seriously give you epic head.

Cruise, most times.

Its only one button to push, thruster is fastes be e-kill+thrust+thrust, thats 3 buttons, while with cruise i have already selected the lane, and wait for the F3 pushing.

Well if it's over 2k (2.1 2.2 might still thrust can't remember any out there) I cruise to the next lane and speed dock to it.

I let autopilot do all the work. I'm not really bothered with quick docking and jamming the most distance in a set amount of time.

i like the thrust...sometimes i even thrust from distances of 10k..simply because its easier to control,and on larger ships like transports or hegemons..thrust is alot better for docking


so yeah i vote thr thrust...also..you can get nearly 1k distance on thrust while the cruise is charging
