cant steal pirate ship that has landed on a planet

[wastedwoodsman]

why can you steal a ship in space but you cant steal if it lands it just gives you an inaccessible when you try to board the ship (on the planet)
this really makes no sense what so ever

What do you mean? I found several pirate ships and can take off with them

sure you can

Nope it will be Labeled as Inaccessible & i'm sure they would not make it that easy for some one to steal a ship ( Unless if there is a mission that requires it ), i haven't ran into any mission like that as of yet. but other than that you can't.

Encountered tons of pirates landing on planets and the hatch is just inaccessible then the door closes and the ship flies of with out in it...(then you glitch out of it and fall to your death if you did't have a jetpack) But i think those were all in sidequests.

Not all ships (e.g. reinforcement dropships) can be captured. Those on landing zone POIs can be captured

If it says inaccessible, that's a quest ship and you can't steal them. Same goes for quest ships in space.

I was able once to steal a quest ship, but it auto switched to home and bugged out.

i have tried both and you cannot steal them if they land

You can steal ships, there is just not a whole lot of reason to do so because they sell for pennies, and you cannot strip them for useful parts either.

only in space when you dock to them if your on the planet you cannot steal them
i just want to steal ♥♥♥♥ from pirates i dont care how much i get for it i just want them all dead

I was a little baffled by this myself. After landing on the fifth planet in a row and seeing some other ship casually landing on the same barren moon not 300 yards away, I was like "Someone's following me and I don't care for that. I shall have words with them!" and the ship takes off before I can get there and leaves Ecliptic guys behind who don't seem very interested in talking, so after tucking them in for their afternoon naps I see another ship land I figure it's more guys who need a nap, but no... it's settlers, and they're not very interested in talking either and I couldn't even go into their ship to ask their Captain about any odd jobs.

It feels like this is supposed to be some sort of random event trigger that isn't really working out as expected.

I've stolen every ship I have after they landed on a planet.

some do say inaccessible or won't let you sit in the cockpit seat but a lot of them you can steal just fine.

honestly yea you hit that right on

Settlers ALWAYS have a Captain outside the ship with them. But this doesn't guarantee they won't bug out just the same. In my case, I walked over to talk to the captain probably to ask him why every captain in the entirety of space seems to suck at stocking their own ship parts, When a local wildlife ran in and -ATE HIM-

To this moment, Any time I go back to my base on that planet the rest of the crew of that ship still stands around doing nothing, The ship is still there and the captain is still animal food.

As to pirate/ecliptic ships landing you have to kill all the ground crew before the hatch will become accessible. Successfully hiding till combat ends will work too but if you're doing this take the last few guys out from the ramp because the ships have a bad habit of taking off when you kill everybody. As mentioned in another response here though there's next to no point to doing this. The cost of registration vs what you actually get for selling the ships is next to nothing.
