PLANETS!

Especially if we're manufacturing DUST items and want to sell them on a planet.

Not that I manufacture anything - I don't. I just want to be able to warp to zero, enter geosynchronous orbit, request an approach vector, see an approach beacon represented in space, enter the atmosphere at that point, see flames scorch my rifter as I sear through the sky, and gaze at a distant DUST battle, watching the landscape bloom below me as I hurtle towards the surface.

IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK????? (trololol)

No but really, I really do want to experience those things.

Our ships are about as aerodynamic as a boulder, not to mention they all lack aileron and elevator controls which means we'll have about as much control as a boulder too.

Meh. I see your point, but I might be willing to grant license and overlook that. After all, we're all actually flying submarines.

I was going to make this post about how ships dont have heat shields either, then I didnt. But yes, your ship would act like a boulder.

According to EVE lore (correct me on this where needed), tritanium is very reactive with oxygen. So getting your ship into the planets atmosphere is pretty much suicide.

Our ships would fall like a brick, if they even had a chance to fall before spontaneously combusting.

Well then. Now that you all have sufficiently sh*t on my vision, I hereby demand a new class of ship. =)

Edit: After all, I presume people get from the surface to planet in some way or another.. Whats the opposite of a drop ship?

I would presume that would be a shuttle which coincidentally enough look like they would actually be able to handle atmosphere.

so get a shield booster and a thermal shield hardner for re-entry?

As for the steering, some inertial dampners tech, some anti / artifical gravity tech, and some nice thrusters should provide all the control you could want.

Unless you're in the Voyager engineering crew I don't think you can get the shield generator to work like that.

So some may disagree with me on the oh **** moment, it's not the entry that I'm concerned with, but rather the sudden stop at the end. like I said, without aileron or elevator controls we have about as much control as a rocket propelled rock.

Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: [Grabs PA microphone] This is the captain. We're having a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.
[Hangs up microphone]
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Can you shave the vector?
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: I'm doing it, it's not enough.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Well, just get us on the ground.
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: That part'll happen pretty definitely.

I'm more inclined to see myself docked inside a POS rather than a planet. Planets are for Dust Bunnies after all.

The thing I have always wondered about this, if tritanium is so reactive to oxygen, why don't EvE weapons expose this oxygen weakness? For instance, missile warheads that create a cloud of oxygen around the target ship, causing the ship to instantly explode as the hull reacts with the oxygen?
