We have planets in Cosmoteer, so it would be cool if we could land on them, and that got me thinking about possibilities and features and I compiled this list.
1.Landing gear block
The block would work like an FTL requiring power just before use. Then it would extend and the ship would land.
There should also preferably be a 1x1 and 2x2 size variant. The more landing gear your ship has the less the chance of a crash landing, for example a barren low gravity moon with no atmosphere would need less landing gears then to land on then a planet with high gravity and a thick atmosphere. I also think before you land there should be a survivability rating based on these characteristics and if you want to get very scientific you could add a parachute block which increases survivability on atmospheric planets
2.Crew explorations & hover mode
When you land you could choose to send out your crew or go in hover mode. Hover mode would be like normal bounty hunter just with planet backgrounds and aerodynamic physics and no fog of war. In crew mode you would take a team to the surface. They can be armed with:
Weapons
• Blaster - a miniaturised laser - costs 500c to equip
• Tazer - a miniaturised elecro bolt that stuns enemies - costs 750c to equip
• Gun - a miniaturised cannon - costs 1000c
• Sniper - a miniaturised cannon with long range - costs 1500c
• Grenade - Error description blew up - costs 250c - 1 use only
• Beacon - marks where you've been - costs 450c - 5 use only
• Ammo Pack - carries extra ammo for snipers and guns - costs 350c - 10 use only
• Tent - used to sleep on longer missions - costs 1000c - must be set up and taken down.
• Oxygen tank - used to survive on unbreathable planets - 800c - has to refill every 5 hours - 1 is for 5 crew
During the crew exploration you will fight other ship's crew and native animals. You will be able to build bases allowing you to replace dead crew, manufacture ammo instead of buying it and buy stuff for discounts.
