No, that’s how I landed. “Landing area not clear” it said. Then I moved along and landed in a different location and impaled the ship on a tree. I guess it’s better than landing on the top of a 50 foot tree like in the older version of the game. 
Wait. . . is that not a Player?
Cuz … then … this shot would fit so nicely in the SENTINEL SURFING thread.

My character had some… issues when I was in a space station. I was instantly given an idea and made this out of it
Nah, as far as I could see, the ships are missing on empty planets. Just the beacon there. Which would be fine if the flavour text wouldn’t keep talking about the ship being right there. 
Landing at this base had the frightening discovery that it actually had a landing pad. As it automatically grabbed the ship, I was dragged into the earth.
Launching & landing elsewhere solved the issue.
The disturbing shadow image of my destination that appeared on screen instead of the usual teleport blue swirls.
… OR …
It might even have been someone else’s STARTING spot…! 
I’ve given this pic another look, @toddumptious …
I’m …concerned … that the Walker looks somewhat smaller than usual in comparison to the ExoSuit size… 
I’m imagining the Walker being “behind” the ExoSuit, whilst the Exo is coming down from a high Jetpack Jump . . . and the timing of the pic was “perfect” (or, in Photo mode, everything being “paused”, the camera was positioned just so – creating a look of perfection.

Unless I’ve completely missed out on the addition, in NEXT, of an “in-between” category Sentinel – Mini-Walker, smaller than Walker, and bigger than Quadra …?
[edit] - tidying only; still in AWE of @toddumptious’ ‘image manipulation’ – very convincing! [/edit]
Ah yes it was just a trick of the lens 
I plan on doing some actual sentinel surfing soon but I felt this did not count. I just liked to imagine if that walker is to scale, how big is that Anomaly? I imagine it’s a scary story told to Vy’keen children like The Headless Horseman
btw, @sheralmyst – this pic… were you standing in a shallow lake? Am I seeing that correctly?
I’m thinking I’m seeing water surface ripples… and a greenish blueish colouration . . . . .
(Technically speaking, that’s rather DANGEROUS, if you think about it – the downed / damaged probe / black=box=thingy / comms Orb is sparking, and it has wires sticking out, and it’s sitting in water . . . That’s a recipe for waking oneself out of the Simulation.
Flatliners, anyone?
