Best Landing Gear

Best Landing Gear for Big Ships

Module Value Mass Hull Lander Thrust
NG-20 Landing Gear 1662 4 4 4
Hope 55 Landing Gear 1425 3 3 4

If you're planning to build a massive ship, the NG-20 Landing Gear or Hope 55 Landing Gear will be the most useful to add during ship customization. These landing gears provide the highest lander thrust which allows them to carry ship designs with high mass.

The Hope 55 Landing Gear can be purchased in HopeTown, while the NG-20 Landing Gear can be purchased in New Homestead.

Subjective Based On Aesthetics and Costs

The landing gears are ship parts in Starfield that don't provide a lot of changes to a ship's stats. You can simply choose gears that best fit your ship's look and your current credits.

Minimum Landing Gear Count

Ship has too few landing gears

In order for a ship design to be acceptable, it has to have enough landing gears to hold the ship upright. The gears' lander thrust stat determines the mass limit of a ship. 1 point of lander thrust can hold approximately 200 mass. If your ship has a total mass of 1000, your landing gears must have a total lander thrust of 5 or more.

Better ship parts are locked behind character levels. If a ship part is not appearing in any shops, this means you'll need to level up your character first.
