Horizons How dock at planetary base? with Horizons

Can I just buy a planetary vehicle hanger and SRV on a planetary base (the official video said they were more common there)? When I got close to a planetary base in a friendly system (powerplay) I couldn't find a way to ask permission to dock there and it's security blew my ship up :\
I've read that,"Those that have tall buildings on their icon in your navigation list have a starport." The planet I was try to land at has tall buildings in it's icon, Nang Ta-Khian 2 A, and there was only one planetary base there.

Thanks

Some settlements don't have landing facilities, but assuming the one in question does...

In 'contacts' (left panel) locate it when within 7.5km. Then request docking just as you would for a space station. If you have one the docking computer works, if not dock as you would in space.
 
Ok, thank you. I was crashing to desktop when descending to the planet (nVidia gtx 980M 4gb Vram) but then I set my graphics lower and that fixed that. But now the game gets stuck when transitioning from Orbital Flight to DRP-Glide mode (on Lowest over-all switch/graphic setting). The graphics don't freeze but I can't go to options or open navigation although I can look around, and the transition (blue streaks on window) never stops. It doesn't finish transitioning. Am I not supposed to be in Cruise/Frameshift or something? It worked once again now on a neighboring planet, Nang Ta-Khian 2 A but I don't think I can land there. I'm trying to land at Dampier base on planet Nist in the Nang Ta-Khian system is where the tranisition gets stuck. After more testing it's not just on one planet that the transition to glide doesn't work, gets stuck. I just tried planet Buyukkale in system G 239-25 and the transition got stuck again and while on the lowest preset graphics setting.
