Games - Elite Dangerous - Landing at an outpost
As with the station procedure, request docking permission.
Using the nav compass and the visual indicators, find what platform you’re assigned.
It may not be on the same side of the outpost that you’re on, and may not have the same orientation as the other platforms (some are upside down).
Using blue region throttle, approach the correct platform in the same manner as with a station.
It’s very easy to be disoriented coming in to a platform and try and land turned the wrong way around.
The big blast deflector on the landing pad is at the rear of the pad from the perspective of landing.
Once throttle is cut and you’re hovering above the platform, landing is the same as with a station.
