Deploying the landing gear in normal flight will decrease the speed of the ship. You cannot deploy the landing gear whilst in [[supercruise]] mode, or during [[hyperspace]] when travelling to other systems. If the landing gear is deployed when trying to enter supercruise mode, or a hyperspace jump, you will receive an alert which instructs you to retract (raise) the landing gear first. If you try to land on a planet with an atmosphere, your ship will burn and be destroyed because ships do not have heat shields. | Deploying the landing gear in normal flight will decrease the speed of the ship.
