Disable Landing Gear

[Kai Shan]

Mining with an SV and the landing gear keeps deploying and blocking my movement.
I would really appreciate it if we could disable landing gear, similar to how we can disable turrets by assigning them to an hotkey.

This is one of the reasons I typically put landing gear on the rear or top of my craft.
I seem to have less issues then with coming too close to terrain.

Unfortunately the devs have said they can't give us manual control of landing gears or docking until/if they completely rework it again.
They hope to do that eventually but have made no promises yet.

So for now the options are relocate landing gear to a different place on the craft where you will have less issues, or remove them while mining.

I'm pretty sure landing gear only visually change, and their collision volumes are always the same. I recommend raising them up so they're flush with the bottom of the hull.

Good Suggestion!
Thanks, I'll try that.

My experience has been, if the LG hitbox is flush with the hull, the craft won't dock.

Likewise, if I try to put even a half-height block around the LG (so it appears recessed until the gear are deployed), it doesn't work.
