    not sure where to put this so i put it into vehicles, i was thinking about teleport pads for quick transport to specific structures, these pads would look like the one oon the spaceship, or even some kind of glass pod that when used brings up a menu giving an option to teleport to previously placed pads that are named by the player on placing, these pads only work for the planet your ship is orbiting, again, not sure if this would be placed in this catgeory, but it seemed like the closest match, hope you guys think its a good idea =D

    thanks for reading

    That would be a good idea for big planets. Especially if you have a place that's a 10min walk from the spawn area.

    That's exactly what i was thinking, there's been a few times where i find some sort of large settlement with multiple merchants, but Its always been on the opposite side of a planet a good 10-15 min walk from the spawn point, if this was possible i would finally have a home planet i can stick with.

    Excellent idea, hope they take note of it.

    Or a way to move your ship to the other side of the planet even and then allowing to teleport down to the surface of that location.

    this is quite a good idea but personally i like the idea of having multiple warp points

    Yeah relocating your ship above the surface of the planet would be awesome.

    any way to make it easier to get to a place you like on that planet would be good

    Great idea, would make it easier to get to places you need to get to.

    I like your idea. I think that it should be incorporated in parallel to a way to change where you beam down. I think that a craftable beacon would do the job nicely. Your ship can beam you up from the opposite side of the world, it would make sense it can beam you down there too.

    its the whole reason i havent bothered with building on a planet, no point in spending a lot of time on a castle when it takes 10 min to walk to it

    For relocating a ship, we can craft a relocator device, which must be used on the surface of the planet with enough clearance, it will only change that player's ship drop point if the ship is there... Otherwise via party, it fails due to it not being your ship.
    Which comes to the telepad idea, you need this within planetary surface to connect, but it must also be wired via antenna and a device that handles communication.
    So:
    1) must be on a surface
    2) must be wired to a central system.

    For respawning on a planet while spelunking, look to portable cloning devices maybe?
