Blocking Settlement Landing Pad

[arabus]

OK..why the he&^ am I getting fined for blocking a landing pad, when the faction owning the thing sent me there to restore power?!?!

[Dolphin Bottlenose]

Because you shouldn't block landing pads? Being sent there to restore power doesn't grant you a permission to block landing pads - somebody else might want to use it.

[arabus]

Except I have permission to be there...I'm working for the faction to restore power to their base! That's like calling someone to fix your AC, then have their truck towed for being in your driveway!

You have the permission to restore power, you don't have the permission to cause more troubles while doing it.

Landing pads still operate, even when a base is powered down. Ships may need to land on it or to fly away. You blocking it cause problems. They didn't call you to cause problems - they called you to restore power.

That's like calling someone to fix your AC, then have their truck towed for being in your driveway!

If you put your truck in such a way that it blocks the passage - it will be towed. Your AC fixing work doesn't give you a permission to leave your car at the middle of a road.

What ship are you flying and was your docking request denied? Some settlements have one small landing pad only, hence if you fly a Python there, docking request will be denied.

Have you requested docking permission, and been given clearance to land? No? Then you don't have permission to be there.

Just land outside the settlement... You can deploy your SRV and bring it into the settlement as moving storage.

There's no one to request clearance from, their is no power, and no people...just corpses.

Yes, there is. Landing pads still operate, even if there is no power, and nobody but corpses are around.

Lol, you would assume there's an auto computer that grants docking requests except there's no power

Edit: Why didn't EDO salters pick up on this?

Maybe the docking computer can operate on emergency power systems that are separate from the main reactor?

I have wondered the same thing.

Think of requesting docking like making a phone call today to a business, you very rarely get a person on the phone it's always automated, press 1 to blah press 2 to blah etc... they all might be dead at that firm but your call will be answered by a machine.

Even if there is no power to the site or everyone is dead Dave, yes everyone is dead the answer phone might run on some AA Batteries and be good enough to see if anyone is on assigned the landing pad or not.

Ask docking permission and land on your designated landing pad
