Make possible to drop items to character not (0,0)

Post by Erfar »

Subject. It especialy important on Fulgora as finding good spot for base can take quite some time but it would be also nice feature on nauvis to get some supplies via orbital drops instead of walking back to logistical network.
It will not make logistic free as such drops not very automatable. But it will be nice QoL

FWIW, you can ship a cargo landing pad (1 rocket) and drop that as your first drop, then pick it up and build it to allow all future drops to go where you are :)

Or you can ship cargo landing pad, take 40 minutes to scout Fulgora without getting it and than waste 20+ minutes to run back to 0,0 to get that landing pad :roll:

I don't recommend that approach :(
