Flickering / Non-Highlighted Landing Pads Should Have Been Fixed Ages Ago!

Ahh... Long ago, we had working Holo Projectors in the Galaxy, remember it well, before it fades into a world of myths and legends, easily lost in the mists of time. In this new age of clever navigation through treacherous ... landing pads, we can only imagine how it was back in those days. When every number was like written in stone, and pilots aimed for the unknown in their glorious glow, with such precision we have forgotten how!

Soon to arrive in a flickering faery tale holoshow near you. :)

Kinds of entertaining bug in a way this one - docking is dumbed down already easy enough that a blind and deaf person can do it without hands.

You have more then one tool to locate your landing pad. The highlighted landing box is one and is not even needed. When you request landing and receive clearance for a landing pad, once inside the slot your forward/back looking sensor, the small one to the upper left of the main radar, will direct you to the designated landing pad, if you know how to use it. It is often faster then looking for the number and box, especially giving the lighting choices in some stations.

The display represents a sphere, the center is looking straight ahead or behind. The edges represent the to the side, top and bottom of you. If the dot representing your target is solid it is in the front of the sphere if it is open it is in the back half of the sphere. As you enter the slot of a station rotate your ship so the solid dot is at between the center and the bottom of the indicator. Once the dot reaches the center of the bottom of the indicator and changes from solid to open, you are directly over your landing pad.

It's not rocket science but you do have to use your brain and have a general understanding of spacial awareness and dynamics.
