Planet Weather System and Gravity

I was posting another thread about retrofitting your ship for planetary landing and was thinking, "What if someone was to land on Jupiter?" the gravity on Jupiter is 2.4 times greater than earths so i would like to see an increase of struggle, so to speak in the ships handling. Then i thought, wouldn't it be cool to have a dog fight in the middle of a wild storm, you would not only be fighting to destroy the other ship, but to also keep your own ship from flying out of control... unless one has an advanced flight computer system which automatically combats the force of turbulence and such weather...


EDIT: Yes ok, you cant land on Jupiter as it is a gas giant, just replace Jupiter with some other planet that you CAN land on ok? XD

As mr. Faceoff said... you can't land on jupiter any more that you can land on a cloud. It's a gas giant, remember?

the inner gas layers of gas giants are liquid due to the pressure and at a certain point hydrogen becomes even metallic (and with that conductive) and the rocky cores are so hot you could fuel scoop them... so there is enough excitement to put in planetary landing. :D would really like to deal with this stuff.

of course you can land on jupiter, there's supposed to be a solid core down below the sea of metallic Hydrogen.
you're never going to take off again, and i doubt you're alive, or indeed in a shape or form that is in any way recognizable, but assuming enough mass, of course you can land on Jupiter.

Forget i said "Land on Jupiter" because i know now that you cant... (EDIT... or can now? i dont even know)
BUT
I would still like to see weather and gravity effects on other planets you CAN land on...

Except in ED universe the Devs are Gods. If they say you can't land on Jupiter, you can't land on Jupiter.

Some planets aren't actually planets with surfaces. Take Venus that's just really hot and fiery so you can't land on that, a lot of planets are actually gas giants so have no solid surface. In Frontier II you had to have atmos shielding to land on some planets, others had stations within the planet so effectively underground docking hangers where as some like Earth had outside pads.

I like the idea of floating stations in the clouds or maybe massive pads floating in seas or on mountain tops in the clouds.

There needs to be a lot of variables taken into consideration for landing on planets.
