What Happened​

Landing legs are destroyed / detach from the vehicle at extremely low (<5m/s) landing speeds. Due to their small contact area and lack of suspension, landing legs are actually worse for landing than engine bells right now.

What Was Expected​

Landing legs should help, not hinder, landing survivability.

Reproduction Steps​

  1. Create a craft with an engine and landing legs.
  2. Fire engine briefly
  3. Allow craft to land on landing legs
  4. Observe as everything's destroyed

Reproduction Rate​

Always

Additional Info​

  • Other Notes: Presumably this issue will be properly solved once landing gear have suspension implemented. For the short term, could they just be made very strong, or would that just transfer the shock forces into anything they're attached to?
