Hey guys! So, Horizons released, and I was one of the many unskilled, unprepared pilots that crashed their ship on a planet. While my own crash wasn't due to a high gravity planet (I kind of did not keep an eye on my altitude, and was expecting to see "defining surface features" when I got close enough... which never came so I thought I was still far from such surface) it was more due to me splattering at full speed all over the place not realizing the surface was there, waving at me...
Either way, while looking around for um, tips, and reading guides I should've read before my spectacular crash, I found this video. Note that this is not mine, but rather a video a commander made. (All credits to him or her!)
I found it surprising that it has only under 200 views. I assume it's because most people want to look up Anacondas and Clippers on high G planets and not smaller ships like the ASP? While the tips on this video were given for an ASP, the more experienced commanders in the community might be able to devise something similar for the bigger ships?
Long story short, this guy landed on a 9.72G planet on an ASP explorer without a hitch. A tiny hit to shields (only one layer affected) was all he got. I don't know about all of you, but I personally found it impressive. And the tips offered throughout the video are quite helpful! I definitely hope it helps all of you guys as it has helped me become better at, you know, not crashing
