Docking and takeoff | Introduction to the flight model

One of the interesting topics mentioned in the forum of the Elite: Dangerous is the docking, its sense and its level of difficulty. Why this maneuver does even exists? The first reason is the immersion which enables the player to go more inside the game. There is nothing in the game that would be simplified into the cut-scene so why would this be? Another reason is more simple and banal and it is for the games mechanics. Smuggling the illegal cargo, chasing or fleeing influences our docking. It makes some of these activities more stressful and thus it makes the game more exciting. Quite some players complained that the manual docking is tiring and too difficult, which it actually make some sense when playing on keyboard and mouse, but using other controller or two makes it a walk in the park. And as in everything it requires practice, but as for theory you can read what is stated below.
