Hi Team
The lore implies the Arkship hits Alioths crust hard and fast to embed itself solidly into the surface.
Now the arkship is big, and heavy, and is built to take the impact, however the ground is not.
Meteors that hit planets leave craters.
So the question becomes will the Arkship actually create a 20km radius CRATER around it when it lands?
This would expose low hanging fruit ores as well as give an excuse as to why its barren around the Arkship giving players a visual reason to leave the safe zone - "look grass!"
Just a thought for the devs to think over
Naturally comments are welcome
