Anyway to speed up orbital drop rates?

[TNSEE]

Feels like it takes forever dropping from orbit to ground. No amount of extra storage bays seems to scale up the drop rate. With only one landing pad per planet, i'm not sure there is anyway right now to speed up the cross planet logistics as it seems to be the bottle neck getting back to Nauvis.

i have no propper testing but it feels like the droprate is limited by landing and starting hatches. so placing storage extentions on both sides, ship and landing pad, will increase starting and landing bays and i think this increases cargo transfer rate

Landing bay with storage attached allow more rockets at once. It definitely increases throughput. Someone recently did the math for it on Reddit.

The landing bay is the only place you can pull the goods from, though. There's a limit to how much inserters can pull from it at a time. To go beyond *that* limit you need to use bots and requester chests.
