Controls
Page 1
Most of the time you should only need this page
  1. Select grinders
  2. Work clamp lock toggle
  3. Work clamp auto-lock toggle
  4. Primary working camera: best view of target, with grinders visible at sides of screen
  5. Boom-mounted camera: when retracted provides useful view of docking equipment
  6. Extend/retract boom
  7. Dock camera: align with indicator light on large ship connector
  8. Rear camera
  9. Launch/Dock: activates Launch if docked, activates Dock if undocked and near a ship/station
WARNING: make sure your connector is aligned and ready to lock with another connector before attempting to dock. Failure to do so will leave your drone unpowered, at best with its landing gear locked, at worst drifting free.
