The Scooping

Ok, you kept the proximity line in correct half of the screen, you throttled up and you're now scooping. Look at the image bellow:The blue line shows the trajectory you want to follow. Start going in a straight line, as your scooping rate increases, reduce the speed and now make sure the bottom of your ship is parallel to the star. Having the star exactly bellow (or above) you means that from now on, your distance from it will ony increase. To make sure you are in the right position, look at your radar screen.See that line above the star ? That line shows the objects position relative to you on the vertical axis. Let's call it "Distance Line". A line above the object means it's bellow you, a line bellow the object means it's above you. The position of the line's end shows where it is on the horizontal plane. To make sure the object is exactly bellow the center of your ship, this line must be exactly in the center of the radar.Now keep moving, controlling your speed and pitch so the tip of the Distance Line is always as close to the center of the radar as possible.Since you're now looking at the radar, use it to keep an eye on the temperature too.Ship will start suffering damage if it passes the 100% mark. At about 80%, the ship's voice will warn you that the temperature is too high, that's ok. If you did everything right, you should be done by now.If you're not done yet, pitch up just a little and follow a straight line untill the scooping rate drops to about half. If the temperature stabilizes or starts to fall, pitch down again.Once you hear the "" sound that indicates a full tank, pitch all the way up (the Distance Line on the star will disapear, indicating it's exactly behind you) and hit full throtle to get away from it.You're done.Look at this video to see how it is done. The scooping begins at the 33 seconds mark, soon after I honk the Discovery Scanner:I'm finished at the 64 second mark (1 min. 4 secs), while the temperature never went above 66%. That means 31 seconds to fill the tank of an Anaconda after two jumps.The Anaconda in this video has only the standard 32 ton tank, with an A rated, Engineer modified Frameshift Drive that uses about 8.5 tons for a maximum range jump and a Class 6, B rated Fuel Scoop (Maximum rate of 752kg/s).That was a professional job!
