Also the Conda drifts quite a bit. So if you used thrusters up to align with the slot, you’ll have to use thrusters down in advance to stop the drifting, otherwise she will continue to move up after you stopped thrusting up.

I still maintain that the top of the slot sucks.....

It's a bit wierd, but boosting tends to stop any thruster drift dead.
Just saying..

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

I agree with the person who said the top of the slot seems to pull the ship upwards, I have aligned perfectly and seen it start angling towards the top if I went too slowly. I did find a solution to the undocking problems with the 'conda' I sold it and bought a python.

Ah, not just me then? I thought I must be going mad :D

I can go through the slot in a T9 with no issues but really have to think about it with the 'conda. Maybe I just find it easier to align with the bottom. :P
