![]() ![]() Holding this angle will boost your speed past normal orbital cruise speeds, allowing you to orbit the planet very quickly. When in orbital cruise, a section of the attitude ladder around zero degrees will turn blue. When the rate of decent indicator bar displays red your rate of descent is dangerously fast. The rate of descent indicator shows how quickly you are losing or gaining height. The attitude ladder shows your pitch angle compared to the planet surface, with zero degrees being parallel with the surface. Notches on the altimeter also show orbital cruise transition height (the OC marker) and, when you get lower down, the orbital cruise drop out height (the DRP marker). The altimeter shows your height from the planet surface. To engage orbital cruise, simply fly towards a suitable planet.Īs you approach the ship HUD will summon an Altimeter, Attitude Ladder, Heading Indicator and Rate of Descent indicator. It lets you fly around a planet much faster than would normally be possible using the frame shift drive. Orbital cruise is an adjusted version of super cruise. If you are traveling too fast when you hit the orbital cruise transition height your ship will perform an emergency drop. ![]() Target the planet to summon information showing maximum speed for a safe transition into Orbital Cruise, a special mode of super cruise when you are very close to a planet. Once you’ve found a suitable planet, simply super cruise towards it. You can tell if a planet supports planetary activities by looking at it in the Contacts Tab or System Map – it will have a small, blue landed ship icon. You can do this from any port, starport or outpost, from the Restock docking service.įirstly, it’s important to remember that not all planets can be approached. Be aware though, if this SRV is destroyed, you’ll need to purchase a replacement for the vehicle bay. Different size hangars will allow more or less vehicle bays.Įach vehicle bay allows your ship to carry a single SRV, and comes with a vehicle when fitted. Vehicle bay slots show up right underneath the planetary vehicle hangar in outfitting. Once you have a planetary vehicle hangar, you need to install vehicle bays in it. You can find these in outfitting at ports. To drive on a planet’s surface, you’ll need to fit a planetary vehicle hangar module. If for some reason your ship is not fitted with a planetary landing suite, you can purchase them in outfitting. What Do I Need To Make Landfall?įirst, you’ll need a ship fitted with a planetary landing suite module – but that’s OK, if you own Horizons, every ship you own will now have one fitted! That’s all you need to enter orbital cruise and drop down into planetary flight. The below information is a quick start guide for Elite Dangerous: Horizons beta - you can also learn a thing or two by watching our archived livestream about the Horizons beta basics. ![]()
