I really don't think the process would need to be all that detailed.ДЇrom what I understand, the planet's map is already loaded by the time you are at the planet. Statements from developers required for further accurate speculation. Early hypothesizing concludes both options are of equal possibility for existence within the game. Tentative theorizing suggests it may actually serve as a beneficial way to transit between player ships.Д¬onclusion: more information is required for concrete analysis and plausibility ratings. Ships could, in theory, exist at any point in the atmosphere above the asteroid belt and not impact gameplay in terms of both the teleportation sequence and resulting interaction with other players. Original assumptions were that Option B would be a much more difficult situation to create, but arguments within logic centers have, as of the time of this recording, disproven most if not all problematic scenarios given current information. At what distance from surface they orbit is irrelevant for this discussion, though it is assumed that they orbit somewhere above the asteroid belt.ДЄfter careful consideration of known information and possible outcomes, logic centers have deemed both options to be equally feasible.

Option B: ships exist within the barrier.

Option A: ships exist 'outside the map,' meaning outside the barrier that will undoubtedly exist at a certain height threshold.

Hypothesis: before going into detailed analysis, a listing of related options: This may change in the future as new ideas are theorized and/or implemented.

Currently there is no confirmation on any other methods of transportation from ship to environment. Confirmed information: it has been stated that there will be an option to teleport to the asteroid belt, should there be one in the planet's orbit.
