So yeh, lol @ people saying it wouldn't work cause EVE ships can't maintain altitude in an atmosphere There should be a rather awesome pic here

Story wise easy to explain... Or add a T3 only subsystem... " atmospherical shielding/navigation/landing " " ship with added capebility to navigate trough / around planet atmosphere"..

The idea or possibility to land on a planed is hunting me since day one Blink

The fact that Tritanium is unstable in oxygen environment actually is very good since it gives us the reason to create new ships which are build from different materials... and ta-da.. EVE already has meny types of planes. That means we have a good place where to look for these "new" materials. I can not imagine better way to begin a good trading between planets (DUST) and EVE (us).
It would create an industry nish for DUST and also for EVE players automatically.

I bet entering planets atmosphere ... docking ..etc would be really awsome experience Big smile

Imagine... planetary mining ships, outposts... a real need for hireing DUST mercs to secure the sector/planet ...etc etc etc

... ok, I better stop here or my head will expolde from ideas Shocked

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 press the LAND button.

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

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

This is correct.

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?

I can think of two good reason. First is that the weapons of EVE are actually very powerful. An anti-matter slug is going to do much more than cause instability in the hull. The second reason is, that while minerals are used in the construction of the ship, the ship is not made from minerals. Meaning you can't build a spaceship directly from minerals. You have process them further to other materials before you can build a spaceship from them and those materials have their own unique properties, like not exploding when put in contact with armospheric temperatures.

Yeah.. well ... If landing is just for "to look at" than IMO it`s a poor reason to ask CCP to implement that.

This is correct.

The oxidation of the Tritanium in the composites doesn't happen instantly either. It's possible the oxidation takes hours.

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? How about a planet to planet hauler with smuggling option?
