Outposts do not rotate and do not require pilots to enter a docking area - instead they have structures with landing pads exposed to space - and thus are much easier to land at. | Outposts do not rotate and do not require pilots to enter a docking area - instead they have structures with landing pads exposed to space - and thus are much easier to land at. | ||
Outposts typically have 5 landing pads: 4 Small and 1 Medium. | Outposts typically have 5 landing pads: 4 Small and 1 Medium. Unlike starports, the layout of the landing pads at outposts varies drastically by type of outpost. There are no Large landing pads, so Anacondas, Orcas, and similarly Large vessels will not be able to dock. | ||

* When landing, you can't see the landing pad, because it has to be below your ship. However, while approaching the landing pad, you can fly on the back or head straight for the pad, so you can keep the pad in sight. You can then rotate when you are close enough. | * When landing, you can't see the landing pad, because it has to be below your ship.

* Enabling the landing gear decreases your velocity. To speedup landing, you can keep it disabled until you are directly over the pad. However, enabling the landing gear will also make your ship more manoeuvrable at lower speed. | * Enabling the landing gear decreases your velocity.
