Sapphire what to do?
I managed to make it to Sapphire but I cannot figure out what planet has station that you can land on the planet. I have managed to get closer to the surface of the planet but how I know what planet has a landing area to dock on it?

Hello,
In the navigation map, you can see a green + on planets where there are cities.

City Icons
Primary city: [+]
Secondaries: +
Sometimes you need to be in the same sector as the planet to see the city icons.

Head toward the [+] or + to dock at the cities (follow the landing brackets/guide) or you can land on the surface of the planets (when you get down to about 6000 - 7000 altitude slow down to 200 to 300 speed and when you start getting the caution warning about your altitude being low then cut your speed to 0 and you will land on the surface).
But really for landing on the surface you need a Terrain Walker to be able to do much.
If the planet has bad weather and winds landing in the cities or surface can be tough.

As you approach a city, the city landing pad shows the usual red/green approach guides

When setting a waypoint on a planet location, remember to check the Y-axis position by flipping your Nav map to side view. If you just click on a city from top view in Nav map, it may look like it's in the right location, but your waypoint may be several kilometres to the planetary North or South of the city, and you will not see it when you fly there.

On the cities that don't have [] but just + you have to get close before the Guide Brackets will appear.From post: 174177, Topic: tid=11706, author=Kambalo wrote:I managed to land on one but couldn't find the other, from orbit I click on the green plus sign and set autopilot but I couldnt find it.
