Might be letting the cat out of the bag here but I find it convenient that I can park my carrier right next to the construction yard. Barely get out of the super cruise transition when I can just pop back down.
Carrier parking next to construction yard

- Start date
I looked for a trailblazer only one time just to see what they looked like.
Didn't actually find one and just went back to my local shopping area.

Depends a bit on where the Orbital Construction site is and what slot it is occupying. I can usually get pretty close (as I've done as few orbitals now) but sometimes its better than others. Once in a while to have to optimize an orbital approach further around the shared planet...
But, yes, if your point is that you can click on the Orbital Construction facility directly and ask your FC to be parked nearby (rather than the nearby planet). Not sure it really makes any difference though...
Same with the Trailblazers in that you can click on the planet they orbit and request nearby parking rather than system asking to blindly be parked somewhere in the host system. (Although you can't click on the Trailblazer itself - unlike the Orbital Construction Facility) Good luck finding parking slots near any Trailblazer though given all the squatters...
Plenty of steel at traditional stations around me.Once to check to see what they were like and once in my Mandy when I was flying past and needed a few emergency power cells, not a pleasant experience
There was someone complaining about lack of steel, I checked the price and availability and laughed.
Yeah I noticed that today, that you can select the colonisation ship now as a carrier target and it works. You used to have to select the body right? Very conveniently 1.4 Mm distance between.
Want to thank you sooooo much. I parked my carrier so close to the terrestrial port that the countdown to jump completed and I was almost immediately placed into the atmosphere. On my return to the carrier I could exit Supercruise at my carrier when I reached 733 km above surface level.
AMAZING !
p.s. please note the attached image is at 0.8 secs and not 1.0 secs and shows a exit to carrier value higher than 733km.
