It would be good to see content in game that we can crash land our ship for example:
Example 1:
Orbital cruise coming into land to quick and able to skid along the ground causing surface damage and ship damage then coming to a stop on the ground NO landing gear etc, and being able to make repairs with Auto field units and other in game repair systems.
Example 2:
USS, Conflict zone, Interdicted or pirated encounter... Unable to make a port can use the nearest landable planet to crash land see example 1.
Example 3:
Terrible pilots...first time flying on planet surface or just low flying for fun and being able to crash instead of bounce with shields.
Currently crashed ships in game look awful, to many times I have seen an anaconda nose deep in the dirt, with no sense of crash mechanics or thought gone in? It would be nice to see something visually appealing wreckage, ground damage and scraping along a distance ship parts all over. At this time we have only complete model based ships plopped on the ground !! not a good look.
Along with wreckage and ship parts comes a whole new game immersion and content creation for salvage missions, as of now salvage is dead in the water and next to no profit, so no one does it!. having the ability to salvage ship parts damaged modules, even the entire ship for scrap or re sale would bring much more immersion to salvage.
