In the current permafrost event, you are in a low orbit above the planet so you have a pretty expansive view. This should be incorporated into the regular game for all planet types when you warp to the customs office. It would be moved from its current orbit to this special low orbit.
This seems more fitting when doing PI work and would look great. Although, less brightness for the ice planet…
I have placed poco’s before at non-standard locations, just to get a different viewpoint, something like this MOST people plant POCO’s at the default warp location, but you can anchor them anywhere - above or below the equator, within the min / max anchor distance.
