Landing on Planets

Landing on planets is a complex process that involves both technical calculations and environmental analysis. Players must consider a range of factors, such as:

Atmospheric Conditions: Each planet has its own atmosphere, which affects how a ship must approach the landing. Some planets have thick, turbulent atmospheres that require careful adjustment of the ship’s speed and angle of descent. Others might have light or no atmosphere, making landing easier but still requiring precise control.

Fuel Levels: The amount of fuel available plays a crucial role when preparing for a planetary landing. Players need to monitor their fuel reserves and make sure they have enough to not only descend but also return to their ship’s orbit after the exploration is complete.

Landing Site Safety: Not all planets are hospitable. The game evaluates the safety of the landing site based on factors like terrain stability, proximity to hostile forces, and any ongoing environmental hazards such as volcanic activity or storms. Players must analyze the terrain and choose the safest landing area to avoid accidents or unnecessary risk.
