-Docking means to attach your ship to another object in the game by using special provisions that have been made for that purpose. These provisions are called 'docking bay indicators' for the purpose of the actual attaching (docking), and 'docking bays' for the purpose of keeping your ship continously attached (docked) to another object.

 Docking is an essential part of the gameplay in Vega Strike. You need to dock at a base, a planet, a ship or another object to use the facilities it offers. Such facilities usually include ship dealers, trading provisions and mission computers. Refer to the [[Manual:Location:Concourse|Concourse]] for a description of these facilities.

 The red docking bay indicators show docking bays that are more or less hidden or unreachable --- hidden usually by the object they are attached to, or unreachable for being located on its far side. Some bays may even be damaged and unusable. You can fly around the object until getting a straight view on a hidden docking bay. Provided that the bay is operational, its indicator will become green then.
-You can dock at docking bays with partially-red indicators. The larger the green part of a docking bay indicator is, the easier it is to dock there because you will have more room to manneuver than you have with the mostly read indicators. In other aspects than colors, the bays are all the same, so you can opt for your favourite bay as well as for any other.

 Some pilots have gathered a reputation for attempting to dock without requesting clearance. Docking without clearance is not only considered to be impolite, it is also an endangering way of flying for the docking bay indicators cannot be activated early enough to allow for safe maneuvering. Collisions with other ships following the standard docking protocol are inherent to sudden docking.
-Sudden docking is an annoyance for all the personnel in charge and other people getting involved, as it tends to mess with their schedules and can create costly --- sometimes even deadly --- delays to other pilots.

 ==Standard Docking Protocol==
 The standard docking protocol requires you to:
 * Approach the object you want to dock to (see [[Manual:Insystem travel|Insystem Travel]] and [[Manual:Basic flight|Basic Flight]]); then
 * Request docking clearance (see [[Manual:Communication|Communication]]); and
 * Finally to get close enough to a docking bay to actually dock.

 To actually dock, select a green docking bay indicator and approach it. It is recommended you lower your speed sufficiently before getting too close to avoid a collision with the object.  A collision may cause damage or even destroy your ship --- or the object, though that is rather unlikely. When docking at moving objects, such as ships, always stay alert for changes in their course.
