Reverse Pads On Outposts

[JohnnyDangerous]

Small oddity, but the landing pads on the stations make sense: come in through the door, land, pad turns you to face the door, and you takeoff again.

The outposts are backwards most times. You fly in from "out there" any angle but the pad wants you to face out into space, so you have to turn around and land, then it rotates you to point toward a big piece of the station and you have to turn again.

Just weird. If I lived on that station, I'd rather people fly in and then fly out rather than the other way.

As I understand it, landing pads on outposts are just placeholders using the same kind of animation as the ones from the big stations. Michael Brookes stated in a recent Dev Update that outposts will get reworked in a future update, to the point that they even include large landing pads.

Maybe they'll change the landing pad behavior on outposts entirely with this coming update. It would make sense.
