Description

This happens when the tutorial asks us to approach the target ship and triggers when the distance is less than 100m. Gene asks us to brake quite urgently but then tells us to open the docking port...

Before in the tutorial, Gene asks us to brake by pointing retrograde and burning either the main engine or RCS. Here, a single key can do this : the default "front RCS thrust" which is [N].

Although the situation is fun and Kerbal, new players might panic (like I did the first time) at this moment without knowing what to do, along with memorizing a LOT of ship interaction before to rendezvous, maneuver burn, RCS correct the distance,...

As a french player I thought is was a typo, but then an english XBox player posted a video which shows even in english there is no indication : https://imgur.com/a/fmHj9X7

Expected : "BRAKE! NOW! Press [N]!"
