I want to be able to land my science ship on a planetary landing on a mission. That would be cool.
I have been looking around a bit, but I noticed that most planets don't have landing strips. That might be because the inhabitants don't have developed spaceflight yet. I see reality issues there.
I don't want to see a landing strip on an planet where inhabitants still use their fingers to count.
There is also the "Prime Directive":
The Prime Directive dictates that there can be no interference with the internal development of pre-warp civilizations.
Meaning; You can't take the risk of being seen. Starships sometimes land without landing strips, but you don't want to scratch your hull overly much
just being able to land or beam down to any planet would be cool. It seems like the game is too restrictive in what you can do. Certain planets you may not be able to unless in a spacesuit would be normal but any missons we have to planets already should give us the ability to just go there and explore the surface too!!!

Prime directives are meaned to be broken when it is convenient. Be it the normal or temporal prime directives. Kirk did land a cloaked BoP in the middle of a park in 20th century earth.
And yes of course voyager landed a few times on non strips too

Voyager landed on uninhabited planets all the time on the series. In the game we often beam down to uninhabited planets (and by uninhabited i mean nothing other than plants, which we of course scan in a quantity of 5).

Might make a good mini-game.
The Intrepid class and non-canonly other vessels have been constructed for Planetary Landing.
There is no need for a landing strip so I'm confused as to where that idea came from.
I think missions requiring you to land your vessel, or even land your vessel if you want should be included.

During beta there as a bug when people would zone out into space as their ground form or they could transport to the ground and be in ship form.
