it's incredibly easy to loose your lander when beginning a new game. if you accidentally click away from your start location before you land and create your first colony you have to go on a search to find it. there needs to be some kind of indication on the radar map where your "un-landed" lander is located. once you join a a server you cant just unjoin and start over. you're stuck!
I would agree, and ask why we cannot have a next unit button like MC1. I found this extremely helpful, and significantly miss it in MC2.
