MOD Requests
I'd like it if someone creates two mods:
1 to add landing gears so that you land on asteroids/stations.
2 to add "planets" to the game, something that you can "land" on, or mine or w/e.

1) Like something articulating? Not possible. The devs have even said they will not add the code for this.

2) The planets are already an actual object out there, just without a collision box.

The code is there for articulation. It's in the turrets. If that could be transposed into a new 'turret' that you could add to your ship, you could make things like folding wings for X-wings from Star Wars and Taipans from Elite Dangerous.

Not really. People have already asked the devs for the ability to do things like have a section of ship that spins or can articulate/open up and the response was with the way game is coded, this would not be possible without a large overhaul, which is something they are not willing to do at this time.

I didn't quite ask for something articulating, I just asked for Landing Gears, they can very well be static, but the point is that you can land on stations, or on other ships (like having a huge carrier and have smaller ships land on top of it) I have stations that have "landing pads" that i can't quite use.
For planets yes i know there are "planets" but as I said at the beginning, I would like something Phisical, that I can actually mine or build things on top of it, like the claimable asteroids. (one thing that a planet could differ from asteroids is that it has multiple resourses in it, like a iron trinium and xanion planet, that takes hours to mine dry or that you could build 3-5 different Mines on it).

I'm not sure I'm following, then. You can build extensions on your ship like landing gears and can already maneuver to "land" on something. If you want to then be "stuck" or docked with said object, I'm pretty sure this is out of the purview of modding. It has been requested of the devs, though, to allow a docking mechanism where you can dock a smaller craft to a larger one, then fly around/maneuver the large one and the small one stays glued to it.
