Descent from orbit SRV

Descent from orbit SRV so that you do not have to ship the ship every time.
You can also add a kind of mini game for landing the SRV.
It will be useful when you farm material.

Thus, you can get new missions to the planet where you can not land a ship. Fortress where you can not drop in or put a ship, but there you can reset SRV

Well, I think the translation here is, exit the ship in like an SRV drop pod... Maybe bounce to the ground Mars Rover style.

I don't think there's a technical reason why it couldn't work, but I don't know how it would add to the game as a whole in any meaningful way.

I think Low G worlds it would be cool. But High G worlds you have to either land or be very low to drop your SRV and risk damage.
 
well, perhaps from orbit is a bit much, but a quick release 'Hot-Drop' could by viable at low altitude. some ships struggle to land on rough surfaces, being able to hover and drop above an unrestricted location would be much easier. upon ship recall it will find and land at the closest viable site to you (as per normal). skilled CMDRs can drop in mid flight and use projectile motion for the rest, but expect damage if it hits something solid. and too high you will be falling for quite some time.

setting limits would help. (eg. max speed 100m/s, height 100M and pitch at -5-5 to prevent 'flinging' the SRV into orbit)

This would make me want to take my Anaconda exploring much more. I hate trying to find a landing spot for 10 minutes. Let me hover ~15m and deploy the SRV.
 
I even experienced one of these moments myself. My ship just floated above the ground and I was able to get on board
