Elite Dangerous - Trailblazers Update 3.2

[Kira Goto]

I don‘t know then. For a time I experienced this as well (months to a year pre-colonization, at least) but then it just… mysteriously stopped. And since I only had a motivation to land at ground ports again with Trailblazers it‘s just been with a docking computer [because it’s all hauling and hardly my favorite activity].

And, admittedly, the only colonization surface port I’ve landed at is my own because nobody else in a local system I’ve wanted to visit has built one - to my knowledge, should really poke the area for more - and I’m only aware of one T3 surface port project that has probably either been paused until we can stop arbitrary application of planetary influence from destroying specialization economies, or just abandoned outright.

(I’m also not going to complete it for them, sorry)

For the most part you hear it on higher G worlds on a manual approach if, say, you use downward thrust when you’re close to the surface and approaching the pad.

… but I have had it trigger situation-appropriately when I was actually coming in a little hot.

Apart from occasionally trying to force a landing to complete I haven’t used the downward thrusters in years on a planet.

I use them when I’m lazy about an approach instead of only guiding the ship down at an appropriate descent angle with forward thrust (and turning where necessary to reach the pad). Or if I was running evacs at a Thargoid-attacked/damaged station and didn’t want to linger until company showed up outside (or began paying attention to me).

I know flipping FA off can also be achieved to complete a landing (if that is what you are referring to) but I am generally not in the habit of that.

I was, I got into the habit due to exobiology as it is the easiest way to drop into a confined space especially if it isn’t level.
