Horizons Recall Ship: Hover Mode

[CMDR Hasenearl]

I think the new hover mode for the ship recall in a SRV looks really cool and you can be extracted from the surface anywhere.

The only issue I have is that it's rather difficult to find the area under the ship from where you can be picked up.
It would be devilishly awesome if your ship could project a recovery zone onto the ground under the ship. Then you can just drive there and get picked up.

What? Why hasn't anybody told me about this?

I must check this out.

As far as I can tell, you have to be in an area where there is nowhere flat within about 2km from the ship. Sometimes it hovers where you can't board, dismissing then recalling the ship usually moves it to a better place.

After dismissing and recalling the ship multiple times, I figured out how hover mode worked.

The ship is positioned directly in front of you, so you only have to drive straigth ahead. It still is problematic to find the exact boarding location in uneven terrain. Another problem is that the area, where you can be picked up is relatively small.

My suggestion would be to either widen the pick-up area, or, my personal preference, the pick-up area indicator I hinted in the OP.

Ok, for a moment I thought there was a Recall and Hover command.

My T7 was probably doing this here but it was hovering too high and at a funny angle:

This was from my recent circumnavigation, update 23:
