Aside from being able to dock ships that are in a neutral state and therefore do not attack you, in the game, you will also be asked to approach enemy ships with many enemies. In this case, the process becomes more complex and is no longer as simple as drinking a glass of water. There are many cases in which you could find yourself in this situation: perhaps you chose the Wanted trait when you created your character and therefore, from time to time, mercenaries will try to attack you, or you have an active bounty on your head. In short, there are many variables and it depends on your way of playing and your choices.

But now let's get to the point. How can you dock a ship when there are hostile enemies? First of all, the first thing to do is to obtain the Targeting Control System skill which allows you to destroy the target's engines. At this point, the enemy ship will be immobilized and this is when you can implement the normal docking strategy.

Furthermore, in some cases, there will be a need to announce the fact that you want to dock a ship, such as that of the United Colonies Vigilance. However, before you can try your hand at docking with this type of ship, you must first learn to hail, otherwise, you could get into serious trouble if you board a ship without authorization.
