If flying a cap, once at max cruise speed press engine kill then tap reverse thrust until speed under 300 - energy will recharge while speed stays high....
Trying to dock on a lane from an angle and the lane docking isn't working for ya? Hit Return (Enter) and type: /stuck and it may get you in the lane faster than when you manoeuvre your ship for a retry.
Also, when approaching a Jump-Hole or Jump-Gate already activated or when you're in a queue, click on the ship in front of the gate and press 'F4' or the 'Formation button'. This may get you through the hole/gate a fraction of a time faster.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you, but it's still on the list...
There is more to Discovery than just trading and fighting. Talk to other pilots as your character. Use commands like "/roll 1d6" or "/coin" to gamble. Some of the best adventures and friendships start that way.
