Some Elite Dangerous players report confusion with landing mechanics at planetary settlements, especially when attempting to complete combat missions. Players have encountered unexpected bounties for trespassing after trying to land, with no clear option to request landing permission. This points to a usability gap or lack of tutorial guidance for new or returning commanders engaging with surface missions. Without clearer instructions, players risk mission failure and penalties, which could impact overall engagement with planetary content.
