I don't think CIG needs data to help with the queues. If I recall correctly this is a problem with the ancient ATC system being unsuited to work with server meshing (that's why LZs don't use all the hangar entrances at the moment). That said, it would be nice if they reworked all the landing areas to support higher number of players in general.
Oh what is a Connie Red?
It's my tired as hell brain trying to write Cutty Red, thanks for letting me know. I really need some rest (´ω`)⌒)_
Outside the event the hangar waiting lines were sometimes a bit annoying, but not really problematic. Now with everyone going to and from the same port it was literally a bottle neck.
And I agree on the Cutlass Red, it's a great rescue ship. I haven't used the medical Terrapin yet and can imagine the sturdiness helps, but even with that you aren't going to bear the fire from base turrets for long, so it's kind of moot.

Terrapin's armour would be mostly interesting for space combat extraction missions for me. I feel like landing at a safe distance when approaching a hostile territory is a reasonable (and probably intended) approach anyway - don't even give the turrets a chance to graze you.

Indeed, and you can park a ptv in the back of the red to go retrieve patients. It works quite well if the terrain is not too bad.

Can't wait for Ranger for this specific use. Should leave more space for other things.

Sadly the ranger is huge. I hope they scale it down but in concept it's enormous, almost like the drragonfly.

Dunno if there were any updates on that but both wiki and the store page show a pretty significant difference between the two (Ranger: 2 x 3.7 x 2 vs Dragonfly: 2.5 x 6 x 1.5). Granted, this can change but that's the only info we can work off for now.
I also have some hope that after making Pulse they finally figured out how limit wasted space on ground vehicles.

Yeah the Pulse is a great size for a space bike. I love the Dragonfly but they cut cut the length in half, it would be just as cool and fit in a Cutter, that would be nice.

Yeah I exaggerated, still way too big. My ideal SF bike is this one:

It's suppose to have the ability to switch to a compact mode. Maybe they won't forget about it.

I don't think CIG is capable of creating something this small but yeah, that would be ideal.

Yeah but even compact mode would shrink the size to 2/3 at best.
