Go nose down towards the Inside of the space port perimeter (delimited by those floting space port signs). That is if your wanting to land at Lorville. Once close to your landing pad (ATC requested), level off and use the auto land function (press the "n" key). You might already know this but just in case.

Also, a way to avoid "astroid interdiction", is to once you engage your QD, leave your seat by pressing the "y" key.

I left Lorville yesterday, using the same technique mentioned above. Did not find any weapon shops there, although I didn´t visit the whole city. It was quite an awesome experience that´s for sure. I´ll upload a video tomorrow.

Having a blast!
