Lander module with special thruster/hover sub-system

[AlveKatt]

The lander module would do two things.

1. Gyro function that causes the ship to always rotate towards being level with the planet.

2. Be the parent system for landing thrusters/hover modules, whose sole purpose is to keep you hovering and not drop like that unfortunate whale in Hitch hikers guid to the galaxy. The bigger the mass, the more thrusters/hover modules are needed.

Sounds more like an autopilot computer block could do what you\'re needing here.

 

[AlveKatt]

How do you figure that? An autopilot flies the ship by itself. this just helps you control it over a planet. Only thing it controls is roll and to a lesser degree pitch. Yaw remains unaffected.

This would be really nice to have once hover blocks are released. I feel like it should just be incorporated with the hover block though.
