 Once the station has been targeted, the commander must contact GalCop Station Traffic Control and request clearance. This is done by pressing "'''L'''" (shift-l). Traffic Control will respond according to the status of traffic at the station at the time of the request. In this example, there are ships in the launching queue and the player will have to wait for a few moments. Note that in most cases, the station will inform the player how long they have to wait by giving them their number in the waiting queue.

-Starting from [[Oolite]] version 1.72, the GalCop Docking Clearance Protocol has been introduced. It is disabled by default, in order to avoid introducing major gameplay changes, but it is there for commanders who would like a little extra bit of interaction with the space stations.
+Starting from [[Oolite]] version 1.72, the GalCop Docking Clearance Protocol has been introduced. It is disabled by default in versions up to 1.80, and enabled by default from 1.81 onwards. From 1.77 it is configurable through the Game Options menu.
 If enabled, the commander will have to request authorization from the space station, before they attempt to dock. If there are vessels in the launching queue or in their final docking approach, the station will respond by asking the player to hold for a few moments while vessels which have priority complete their departure sequences or docking runs. Once this has been done, the station will notify the commander that they are clear to approach and give them a two minute window to complete the docking manouevre. The station will notify the commander 20 seconds before the window closes that their time is running out, at which point the commander can request an extension of the slot. At any point in time, the pilot can cancel out the request to dock and will have to leave the docking corridor to other ships on approach. It must also be noted that the ship's docking computer will always request docking permission as part of its automated approach procedure, so a manual clearance request is not necessary when using it.
@@ Line 7: / Line 7: @@
 In the case of major emergencies, the protocol states that no authorizations to dock be required.
 == Enabling the Docking Clearance Protocol ==

@@ Line 26: / Line 26: @@
 The local ''requires_docking_clearance'' key has priority over the global ''stations_require_docking_clearance'' one. By combining these two keys you can adjust which stations you want to require clearance and which not to. It is noted that by default, the ''stations_require_docking_clearance'' key is set to '''no'''. This way, the default game behaviour remains unchanged with respect to what it was before the introduction of the DCP. Additionally, the rock hermit's ''requires_docking_clearance'' key is set to '''no''' by default. It is up to the player to enable this feature, if they want to experience the new gameplay elements.
