Things in the game you've always wondered about

One thing that I've always wondered is.... Why, when landing on planets, do we have to spend ages flying around trying to find a flat spot to embark on when our ships are perfectly capable of landing completely autonomously? When you recall a dismissed ship it can land all by itself perfectly, so why can't I just use that autopilot when I want to? It's like having a docking computer that only works when you are not onboard!
I used to do that too, but the truth is you can land in a lot of place you might not think you can. You have to orient your ship properly sometimes for it to even realize it can land there. I've landed in some strange places.

Also, it's not just about landing, you have to be able to get your SRV out and back in (sometimes the "back in" part is difficult to impossible from certain angles).
