It takes some time to get used to the controls in the game. You will need to pratice a lot. I can't actually help you with the controls, as I use a laptop. (So my keys are different from yours :wink: )

As for the space-station, it is the red box with a slit in it. (Look at the screenshots from the game). The docking procedures can be found on page 22 in the manual.

It seems from the Elite page that the manual is for a different version..

In Elite Plus ( or Elite 2 ? I don't remember ) there was a option of docking automatically in space stations by giving a small amount of money. But in Elite 1... you have to do everything by yourself

when i got a spectrum simulator on my computer the first game i looked for was elite. i never played it before. and i was very interested in it because i read about it in a magazine. anyway guess what the major problem was for beginners? docking procedure. a real problem. i managed to dock only a few times. then i quit playing. but later versions Elite 2 (final frontier) and 3 (first encounters) usually already gave you the automatic pilot with the craft. so docking really wasn't the problem. also in later versions you can land on the planets, take fuel form suns etc..... i just haven't figure out how to pirate the ships good and how to follow them arround in galaxy.
Elite plus is just remake of original Elite.

In Elite you need a fuel collector to get fuel from funs and destroy trade ships and use a fuel collector to get their cargo bit

The "compass" is on the bottom right of the screen. You need to get that dot in the middle of rectangle and then you're moving toward the station. Also, you can skip some travel time by pressing J (works only if no ships are around you). But if you want to play the REAL elite, find Acorn archimedes port and emulator (RedSquirrel).
