I posted a few days ago about FA off having not yet "clicked" for me. Now it largely has, I've had dozens of pirate kills and have landed in a Coriolis without the computer a few times too. What was the secret? The one thing that I haven't heard mentioned in any tutorial or by another commander: the ship's speed limit. For ages I was wondering why the change in direction was so slow, constantly feeling adrift or wondering why my current input seems to not be doing anything. The reason is because I'm going too fast.
The usual advice of tethering to stations or trench runs is good, but a huge help was mining with FA off. Having 4 pips to weapons for the mining laser as well as the cargo door open to keep things doughey and truck-like helped quite a lot.
What other lesser known tips do you all have to improve FA off skills?
