Planetary and megaship runways

They should add runways onto some of the planetary bases as a option to land on so then you can taxi to the pad aswell

Yea but it gets boring just landing on a pad and it would also add in a chaling and also it isn't in real life, it wouldn't take resources

Also the ships dont have wheels in their landing gear

They could be implemented or added as a item to buy so only serten ships can land at station's/space ports

I'd rather they use the space to make more landing area (big lot). You can refuel, restock, and trade, but you can't get repairs or outfitting because there is no hangar. But then I'd also like a large hangar building that you can fly into for repairs and outfitting. Also have a large shipyard with all the new ships parked.

Anyway, I don't recall helicopters needing runways and taxiways either.

VTOL actually and have you ever herd of the v22 osprey. Cus that's vtol but it can and often dose use a runway

Actually it's VSTOL. VTOL craft do not use runways.

Not sure it's really worth talking about. Elite ships don't need those, they'd just be a waste of dev resources for a 2-minute entertainment.

Having flown out of Aberdeen Airport, on both fixed and rotary wing aircraft, I have observed how civilian helicopters often take-off.

Military crafts use a wide range of procedure, according to the needs of the moment.
Mostly they "transitional lifts" their butts along the runway. Three feet above it, to be precise.
Landing procedure depends as well as landing weight and weather. And FOB altitude. And damage. And more.

Absolutely - they do what needs doing in the situation they find themselves in. :)

My point is it would look cool and say you have too much velocity and cant slow down enough to make the pad, you could land on the runway

The osprey cant actually take off and land vertically, due to the air currents cause by the propellers kind of ripping the plane apart
