First, I'll give you all a moment to look outside and make sure the sky isn't falling. Yes, It's a suggestion that doesn't have to do with escape pods, walk-arounds, (well, sorta.) and crashes.

Alright. I was hoping to get a copilot seat in the lambda that individually controls the walkway. The reason for this is that if you want to land the shuttle, (or any other VTOL for that matter) you need to have the thrust right between fixed flight mode and hover mode. When I finally do manage to land like this, it usually has the wings half open, and the walkway is too, so nobody can fit out the door. For most people, this might not present a problem, but I use a joystick, meaning my thrust is always on, and I can't just land by holding S until the wings are open and let go. I have to carefully land, flick the throttle back all of the way, and get out before the whole thing floats upward and ruins my efforts. This also leaves me open to getting the shuttle stolen while I wait for my passengers to show up.

Curses, foiled again!
