As far as I can tell this depends on which marker you select to land at on a planet. For instance New Atlantis has a ton of markers, such as The Lodge, if you choose that, it will load you in at the door, but if you choose New Atlantis, that should land you at the spaceport.
That's the location I'm struggling with, I'll look for it next time but I swear I don't see spaceport. I'm not the brightest rock though.
Well the location for New Atlantis is not called Spaceport, it's just called New Atlantis. When it expands, for me, it's near the middle of the lists of POIs that are stacked at that location, whereas The Lodge is at the top and is easy to just click by default.
Edit: Oh yeah, and it seems like the landing cinematic stops playing at some point, I wish it didn't, I'd prefer to land and still be in my ship before exiting. But now, even when I select the spaceport location, I end up there, but out of my ship. It sucks when I'm not wearing my suit and helmet, because you immediately start taking damage when that happens (on other worlds like Mars). And that's just dumb.
Theres an option to hide helmets and suits when in a non dangerous atmosphere in the inventory somewhere. I comes up at the bottom when you select the suit slot I think. Easy to miss
I don't really like this option, I started out using it, but people treat you as though you are wearing it, and it leaves it on when you are on your ship. Like I was walking around in Cydonia, and I looked like I wasn't wearing my suit, but a passerby told me I didn't have to wear a helmet in here... So yeah, not ideal, I'd love a way to quick swap, or at least for NPCs to treat you as though you aren't wearing your suit, and while you're at it, I shouldn't have to wear my suit on my ship either. IMO.
So for now, I remove it when I don't need it. I just have to be more careful about how I travel. I'd really prefer if the cinematic skipping was optional though. I want to land on a planet at a settlement then have to stand up. Ideally, it would be an option so that others that would prefer to just spawn outside their ship can choose that.
If you select the planet from your ship while in orbit and land from that menu, it plays the landing animation and you start off in your ship. If you use the map in the pause menu to do it, it will place you outside your ship, even if it's the landing zone.
That unfortunately, doesn't appear to be true. My landing cinematics are a thing of the past no mater how I get to the landing option. Perhaps it's a bug and not everyone's experience.
