I still keep hoping for carrier route-plotting, though apparently most CMDR's in Colonia shudder at the thought of an overnight bus service...?

The game has certainly changed from the original vision, I would say. I remember it taking months and months to earn enough to buy a Python.
Ah well, those were the days, as they say
And in true FDev style, the maintenance warning has gone from the launcher, so you attempt a launch, and get the maintenance screen...
(And "Manage" says no update available anyway)
A Steam restart (1244 GMT/UT/London) brought in an update via Steam directly - not via the Launcher! Now it loads but complains about the servers. Nice to see Steam is handling the updates now though.

Got in fine but had the dayglo orangw back (naturally). Re-ran EDHM which needed and update and it's just about back to my lovely blue/teal.
That'll do for now. Time to head back home and into the pewpew fray.

This is the way.
It's a long one.
That hoovers. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
I would like to add my voice to the congratulations of the pilots' federation.That'll do for now. Time to head back home and into the pewpew fray.
Did a few courier missions today. One was a planetary base. First time landing without the help of the ADC...
After touchdown I sat there wondering of what I had been so afraid, regarding landing on a planetary station...

Run the file checker from the launcher?
I like doing manual planetary landings, I like to keep it in glide until I'm 25 kilometers away, it's fun to fiddle with it.Did a few courier missions today. One was a planetary base. First time landing without the help of the ADC...

FWIW, I mostly try to come out of glide 5 km away from my landing spot.
I'm sure your much quicker at it than I am, if I tried that I'd probably overshoot by 20 kilometers or bounce off the surface. But I am learning.
I tend to come in at around 50 degrees and aim a little above the settlement. Think it depends slightly on ship and the gravity of the planet, but it's more than possible to go into glide at say 50km and come out of glide just a few km over a settlement. If quick enough with asking landing permission you can even bypass the hello message and go directly to the docking one. Think I've also surprised a few seal clubbers coming into Deciat..
I never thought about that, I'm usually in my Annie or Krait Mk II, both heavy ships.
Below about 2g there is nothing much to worry about, things can get exciting above 2g as accelerating in the direction the ship is trying to fall can lead to some very rough landings.Did a few courier missions today. One was a planetary base. First time landing without the help of the ADC...

The docking computer can be very good at keeping things in control in that situation even in a heavy underpowered ship, having Flight Assist on a hold button to turn off can work if you just tap the button to let the ship start to fall.
