Not supported, because you fail to explain why it would be "cool" and how it would contribute to the overall gameplay of PI in EVE.

Besides, if you cannot take critism from Danika Princip, you shouldn't post on the forums.

I see no practical purpose for this, this seems almost like a let me dock on planets thread.

Besides the physics behind that are iffy at best, ships in eve are built in space, rated for a Zero-G Environment, the second you break atmosphere re-entry heat and G-Forces could theoretically rip your ship to shreds.

Plus this serves no benefit over traditional POCO Usage or Command center launches

Even when there could be ships able to land on planet, it would not justify landing just to take cargo, better just launch only cargo.
I am able to see landing on a planet as a means of delivering troopers or machines in uninhabited planets, to wage war or build buildings, but if the stuff is there already, why bother landing to take cargo. Also, more economically would it be to use smaller crafts separable from mothership, to land on the planet. Something like warbarges. CCP would need to make a new class of ships to attack planets, or launch a research teams that would give you new technologies in the planetary interaction manufacturing tree.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

The idea of planet attacking was DUST 514
We all saw how that went, perhaps EvE Legion will do better
But until then the entire purpose of this is mothballed with no benefits to adding it beforehand

In 2004 or 2003, at one of the fan fest (i forget which and lean towards 03) CCP showed a concept video of a crow in Atmospheric flight.

since then, people keep rehashing this idea, and some even use it to say why another game i shall not name will be better *cough* Scam Citizen *cough* but there is zero actual need for this feature.

It would only work if Dust/Legion, EVE, and Valk were linked. Because that could give you some game play elements.

Your idea is not fleshed out very well and taken to its logical conclustion is a waste of dev time, resources, and money. Which could be used fixing real problems (like make pi less of a GD click fest) or fleshing out forgotten featues (like WiS)

Sadly your idea holds no real value to the game. So dislike

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

I thought that somewhere in the lore it states that eve ship can't enter the atmosphere of a planet. Something to do with tritianium being unstable under atmospheric conditions.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me;

Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
