2017-04-21 Space Vehicle Launch and Recovery Systems: Space Vehicle Recovery System Space vehicle recovery systems are now operational. http://hazeron.com/gallery/Landing1068.png Call for landing using the Request Landing vehicle command. Default key binding is Shift+N. Any non-enemy vehicle can request landing. This will change to a ship policy but is not implemented yet; it is on my short list. Vehicle must be within 5000m of the ship to call for landing. When cleared for landing, the landing system is deployed. It appears as a virtual runway in space, numbers at the touch down end. The runway is 20m wide and 500m long. To land, position your vehicle on the center line of the runway, between the blue lights at the sides. The runway is actually treated as a cylinder, centered on the white line, with radius at the blue lights. No particular speed or direction is required. Hold your vehicle on the runway for a few seconds and the landing system will grab the vehicle and park it in an empty parking spot. To bring this all together, approach the runway at the landing end and fly along the center line until the system grabs you. Ship makes radio calls throughout this process, on the Hail channel, at Hail range. Space vehicle recovery system does not have to be in the hull extents of the ship design. It should be near the ship, so people can find it. There would probably be clipping errors if it was placed a great distance from the ship.
