Ship SRV hangar boarding zone should have visible indicator on the ground

[ThinkingPortals]

With ships more commonly 'docking' by hovering in the air when it can't find a landing spot, lining up your SRV with the hangar boarding zone can be a bit of a nightmare [esp. while under fire].

Like with on foot boarding at the blue circle, I suggest adding an orange glowing rectangle on the ground where the SRV boards, so you don't have to zigzag back and forth underneath trying to find the sweet spot to board your ship.

Large ship are more prone to this happening.

Above the landing gear and cargo scoop indicator is a indicator to see if your lined up with the srv bay

It would be fun. Especially if allowed to dock SRV while moving Imagine I drive away trying to escape under heavy fire maneuring to avoid damage and request evacuation. My ship piloted by my elite NPC crew would follow me at low altitude and scoop me in without the need to stop.

Finding that sweet spot when your reference point is 89 degrees and 200 metres up isn't an easy feat while being shot at by thargoids

It would be fun, but I try to keep my suggestions as simple as possible

Honestly I don't think that lineing up an object on the players SRV coordinates is such as huge deal Unless player is driving at the bottom of a canion the ship cannot squize in.

Partly it's that, but ships already aren't smart about landing places, so having them approach and line up with someone moving, then automatically grab you once overhead, probably more effort required than they'd be willing to do for something like that.

They can follow your SLF already if piloted by crew.
