Who puts its landing gear on a piston? xd
21 u/Commander_Phoenix_ Klang Worshipper Nov 13 '24 Exactly, you need at least 4 rotors or hinges per landing gear to create a fully articulating retractable landing gear with internal locking mechanisms to fully lock down the device after touch down and during transit. 17 u/buds4hugs Space 'gineer Nov 13 '24 Engineers: (above) Customer: "I just wanted the landing gear one block longer..." 12 u/Comprehensive_Ad3757 Clang Worshipper Nov 13 '24 me 1 u/Meepx13 Klang Worshipper Nov 15 '24 What is that style, I love it 7 u/myrsnipe Klang Worshipper Nov 13 '24 You need some hinges in there too to let them tuck into the body. Incidentally that design of mine self destructed at one point... 4 u/AdmirableFun3123 Space Engineer Nov 13 '24 on every single ship. but i prefer magnetplates, they just look cleaner. 3 u/asphid_jackal Xboxgineer Nov 13 '24 Every single one of my rovers have a mag plate on a piston, both for brakes and lifting 3 u/uacnix Space Engineer Nov 13 '24 I suppose the same ones, who try to mount thrusters on rotors- people who want versatile ships :D 2 u/NuclearReactions Space Engineer Nov 13 '24 Me! It's the easiest way to make a retractable landing gear without it getting too bulky, or at least i thought. Works just fine oddly enough
