	TVM is also possible off a stationary object (a [[Waypoint\|waypoint]], a vehicle parked on the ground, a [[~~PODS~~]] on the ground), a stationary object has a [[Vector\|vector]] of 0 direction and 0 [[Velocity\|velocity]]. This will try to hover a [[VTOL]] vehicle. In actuality since gravity is acting on the vehicle it will be slowly pulled to a landing, normally at about 2[[Meter\|m]]/sec to 10 [[Meter\|m]]/sec.

	TVM ~~looks at~~ the ~~[[Vector\|vector]]~~ of ~~the~~ selected target and uses the ship ~~thrusters to tries~~ to match both ~~[[Velocity\|velocity]]~~ and direction. When you have the desired close rate set to 0.0 you will try to stay in the same position to the target as you are now.		TVM evaluates the velocity of a selected target and uses the ship thrust to match both it's speed and direction.

			===Closure Rate===
			When you have the desired close rate set to 0.0 you will try to stay in the same position to the target as you are now.

	If you adjust the desired to a positive number you will be moved parallel to the target plus the closure speed and direction you are aiming. Your direction the nose is point and the desired closure speed is added to the target's [[Vector\|vector]] as an additional [[Vector\|vector]].
