I dont understand this landing system sometimes you land on it and sometimes you will crah in it, how frustration it is that you had a perfect mission killed everything without a scratch and then in the end bumping into tiger claw en your ship is wrecked and getting told that it looks like i had a rough battle. Or it happens that my wingman crashes into tiger claw. What am i doing wrong?

I talk about wing commander 1

This question / problem has been solved by jolobimage
In order to land you must first get a target lock on the claw and then open communications with it (C button) select the Claw and then ask for permision to land( The number scequence may change depening ot the mission and what happened dueing it)

Once you have clearance you can make your approch to the claw.

First make sure you are DEAD LEVEL with the Claw and FACING THE FRONT of the ship at a range of aprox 3-4000 K then start toward the ship.

You MUST KEEP YOU SPEED AT LESS THAT 100kps, if you do everthing right at aprox 1-2000k from the Claw the landing cut scene will play.

I hope this helps.

How can you tell what part of the ship is the front?
