I've flown to 0,0,0 but I can't attack my target, why not?

Put simply, you've gone into orbit around the star. Sol is at 0.000,0.000,0.000 so when you moved to 0,0,0 your status changed to in orbit and you cannot attack whilst docked or in orbit around a planet/star

If you move to the exact coordinates of an object (planet, star, space station etc) then the game will dock you to it. This is hard to do for planets as they move and the game only gives the player 1 dp of coords so guessing the exact coords is tough. Because most stars are fixed and positioned to 1 decimal place, you can easily dock at a star by moving to its exact coords.

If you are docked at a star, the game marks you as being "in orbit" (it used to say docked, but someone pointed out that you couldn't dock at a star so andyb changed it to say "in orbit" instead)

Move as little as 0.001 coord in any direction and you should be able to attack the target. They are spawned near to 0,0,0 and not on exactly 0.000,0.000,0.000 so should be attackable.
