Ship Building - Landing Gears

[Gorebane44]

I have piloting level 3 and can pilot B class ships. When I first started game i had numerous A class landing gears to choose from. (this was before I put any points in piloting) However Once I started putting points into piloting ALL of the landing gear selections vanished and now it only shows 2 Landing class gears to choose. They are the ones you initially start with. So Iwent from like 10 choices to 2. Anyone know what in the world would cause this or how to fix it? I've tried going to mars, new atlantis, and my own shipbuilding yard and they all show only the 2 landing gears now.

Visit the non-UC shipyards. New Atlantis only has the two side-mount landing gears, and it's conceivable the Martian one is the same.

Neon, Akila and the Key have better selections of landing gear.

I believe it's showing the landing gears for the CLASS you're looking at. If you jump back at the A class ships you should see all those landing gears show up again.

I have a bug where I had 6 gears in my ship, added 2 hab modules and needed 8 landing gears, deleted those modules and went back to the 6 landing gears but I get an error, add them back still in error, add 2 more and that's ok, so I now have 10 gears for the same mass I had before when I had 6.....

Best thing is build a base with a large landing pad, it comes with a ship builder console and has most ship parts for your level unlock. Best engines etc are at 50-60 level but you can capture higher area enemy ships and use those as a base to build a better ship, keeping the best reactors, etc
Just grab the Star Eagle asap.

I dunno. Only B-class ship I ever used, I took an A-class ship and just swapped out the reactor so I could use neutron beams. Old landing gear worked fine.

(grumble) Of course right now, I have an A-class ship with a power output of 28. But the best B-class reactor I can access puts out only 21. Wtf Bethesda? Why the hell are B-class and C-class reactors not more powerful than A-class? (sigh) weird game design decisions. Not that Bethesda's the only culprit, I played E:D since the damn delta, and some of the whoppers they pulled...

And for Some Reason... some outposts, your ship will just never, ever land at. So you have to enter the shipbuilder and exit again to magically make your ship appear on the pad.
