 === Docking ===
 The massive size means that the Andromeda cannot dock with most stations.
-This hull is as large as a station (795 x 358 x 1368m) due to the huge crew and cargo capacity. It cannot fit into standard docking ports, you must use Shift+C to connect into a Station or target the station and await until your automatically launched CargoShip is arrive into the dock.

Instead, you must use Shift+C to automatically connect to a Station via your transporter/CargoShip or else target the station and wait until your automatically launched transporter/CargoShip arrives at the station dock.
 Checklist for cargoship launch:
-*Your missiles must be offline, so press "r" and not "t" before aim the station. This was a request to be able to launch missiles against stations if wanted.

 *The station must be within your scanner range for target lock.
 *The station must be friendly (must not target you and not launching defensive ships against you). If you can get docking clearance with shift+L then this is ok. Moreover if this is the problem then you should get a message: "CargoShip is not launched due to no friendly station nearby".
 *The dataKey of the target must not contain the "carrier" word (this seems to be only true for [[Carriers]] (these are special stations for its "sit into the escort ship" feature so I must exclude here).
-*At last resort you can autodock with shift+C, at least on main stations.
