Quality of Life Improvement: Input LAT/LON Co-ords and have a Surface Waypoint appear, similar to the surface scan mission Waypoint.

It wouldn't be smart to not listen to the community, this is a feature alot of people want to have in the game.
For me Elite Dangerous is not as attractive to play anymore because I have to do an impossible task to just find stuff for the engineers.
 
They can't respond to every forum post. I'm sure one or two Frontier bods have seen this and are considering it. We'll see in the future if something has been done about it.

Patience, people.

But, I *am* a patient.

If only they offered meds for Frontier.... oh, the DSM has a listing for internet disorders. :)

This isn't every forum psot, it has been red for quite a while. I personally think it is a small effort to let your community know what you're looking into for possible future release, a short message is more than actually saying nothing.
 
Totally agree with Genar-Hofoen, on this.
A qol improvement in this area would be a very welcome addition.
I know some cmdrs, have no trouble in this area, but a lot clearly do.
Hope you read this thread FD, as it will become even more pertinent as future updates planet side, are released.

But it is one forum post amongst many multiple thousands.
 
Dear people of Frontier,

Just look at all these people in this thread that think it's a very good idea to implement a planetary waypoint system (like you can set your waypoint in the planetary map using the giving coordinates that are displayed in this screen.)
Don't you think it is a bit selfish to justnot respond to these suggestions?
By simply posting "We're working on it" you're giving off a message as an organisation that you really DO listen to your audience rather than IGNORING them.
I hope these replies to this thread speak for themselves.

Try reaching a LAT/LON from space, to glide, to the surface. It is nigh on impossible.

I would not say impossible .. but trying.

but there will always be this since we are free to come and go to the coordinates we want.

instead, we need an improvement in the sensors and blue circles that appear at more than 2000m when we find a few things..

for example make them always present when we approach.. and increase their reach.. or allow during a scan of a given planet search areas.. to be able to set bookmarks on the planet to coordinates.. etc..

anything but something to facilitate research.

(otherwise for those who likes to take the lead with LAT / LON .. put missions or it is ask to join the coordinates indicated.. personally I will probably avoid them but why not.)

Standard dev behaviour these days.

Well, it shouldn't be and the guys at Frontier need to know that. Besides the features we are talking about BASIC features that needed to be in the game loooonnggg before it was originally launched.

I'll be posting in this thread everyday until there is a solid respons from Frontier. I know that if I don't do it nobody will and the thread is shoved to the side.

Will try and post here too, would be interesting see how long it takes for a response.
 
What's this, I've gotten an spamming issue? I'm just remembering Frontier of the ONE GREAT thing that MANY people want. Planet map cooridnates and the ability to place a waypoint on any place on the planet map. If Frontier would give us an answer in the last one and a half year this 'spamming' wouldn't be necessary. On the other hand it's a relief that the messages in this thread don't go unnoticed. Everyboddy whishes these features to be implemented not just me.

Why isn't anyone taking any action, when I went to check this thread it was on page 3?!
