Is it A:

Or B:

Is this an acceptable landing spot? You guessed it: it's UNSUITABLE.

I think it has been suggested in the past that perhaps there could be a new kind of ship engineering that you can apply to make the landing feet more flexible so that you can land on significantly rougher and/or steeper terrain.

Great, but as seen above there's no visible difference between unlandable and landable spots, so maybe that can be fixed first.

Allowing a player to leave their big ship in orbit and touch down in a sidewinder or other small ship would work, IMHO. Your NPC fighter pilot could be baby sitting your Mandalay while your dirtside. After all Shuttle craft of some description are just a staple of Science Fiction. I think it's simple solution to this issue.
