HUD Marker for the assigned landing pad - I believe this will be very convenient for most CMDRs.
General HUD Marker for the assigned landing pad

? It already appears on the orientation globe part of the HUD, like any location target, and also there's a hologram of the glowing pad number (except in burning stations)...
I've been playing ED for 3 years now and have never paid attention to the compass. Well.
Anyway, HUD marker is more convenient, imho.
We have a lot of markers working with compass together, so I can't see the issue here to add another one.
It already exists, are you suggesting we should duplicate every existing notification and indicator because "you can't see the issue to add another one." If you don't think we should duplicate every single one, then explain why yours is more important than all the others and should be duplicated, because I can't see any issue with just looking at the target indicator to see where you are supposed to be going, after all it's where we are used to looking already.
Definitely! And when the next player that can't see those two markers comes along, we can add a third one.
I didn't say about every "notification".
I'm talking about one specific thing.
Because I think this feature should appear in the game. So I place this request.
Cool
Thank you for your opinion.
If you need it, so why not?
But what is the glow around the landing pad, the rising lines, and the glowing number, if not a "HUD indicator"? Will you just superimpose another glowing oblong over the existing glowing oblong?
I can see an argument for maybe making the player's pad a different colour hologram from the ones that are lit up for other pilots; so you can tell which pad is yours of the currently active ones.

What's special about your particular thing, I often forget to look down and check ti see if I am mass locked before hitting SC, how convenient would that be to have it right in the middle of the screen, and sometimes I leave the ships lights on because I don't look up, so lets have that front and center as well. In fact I demand fair dealing, you get what you want and I get what I want! So now, how exactly does your "one specific thing" take precedence over the "one different specific thing" that other players want? You haven't answered that question, you can't answer that question because it doesn't take precedence. If that gets put up front and center then so should all the other things every player has ever demanded get put up as well, because, believe it or not, you aren't special and "your thing" also isn't special.
Change the colour of an existing indication to make it clearer makes a lot of sense, adding duplicates of existing and already clear and accessible functions and indicators doesn't, agreed.
There is only one thing that needs to be added to the HUD and that is an indicator that your hardpoints are deployed.
Would it work to be the same color as ones engines? Or is it also considered as pay-to-win
The only occasional trouble I have with landing is sometimes I misunderstand the direction I have to land (mostly on planetary ports, and rarely for settlements and outposts). Could it be changed to allow landing using either of two orientations (If anyway landing pad rotates the ship on the stations, outposts and planetary ports)? For settlements and fleet carriers it doesn't rotate and (probably) doesn't make much sense to land in correct orientation.
