Well, then compactness matters these droids got a huge advantage to use meat bags :-)

This reminds me of the droid transport tanks from Star Wars.

Considering that my ship could "land" at 30 m/s without too much of an issue, sure.
Just keep the mass low and things should be fine.

I had a few ideas of an attaching structure that is shot to a ship. Like a beacon or even a boarding torpedo. I however never really gave it a try.

So overall it should work well to use that method as dampener as it works very well (in SP at least). Try to make as many separate dampened landing gears as possible. So 8 packs of 2 landing gears might work well.

Please report back with your results, would like to check them out :)

yu think this rotor dampner would make a functioning grappler?? place on top of piston then landing gear assembly and ram/grab another vessel (within reason) but that 30m/s approach essentially to snatch a ship from its current heading?

nice ship :)

Just noticed that i had a small typo below. The reduced dimension should be 2x2x2.5 and not 2x1x2.5.

Yes the mass of rotors serves a purpose.
The seat rotors that hold them together in a more compact room. Normally seats require a 3x3x3 block volume to be placed, i however could reduce that size to about 2x1x2.5 and thus less than 1/5th.
The rotors connecting the landing gear do exactly what you already noticed, they act as very potent dampeners so that the ship was able to land without taking damage at even 30 m/s, which is remarkable.

Overall like you may have noticed, i am using a lot of rotors for almost all my designs :)

Hmm I like the general idea are all those rotors function to provide structure or just asthetics? I mean not only the landing albeit the landing torture was fairly impressive...
