Ok. I have to strongly disagree here. In my legoverse landing gear is an easily
exploitable weakness on military ships. Landing gear on my military ships (any
size that can land) is always built directly into the hull of the ship to
eliminate it as a (fictitious) structural weakness.
Example:
Galactic Confederation Heavy Fighter model FL-435 "Vengence" or "VeeGee" as the
pilots call them.

The third picture shows the underside. Greeblies are also intentionally
minimized to eliminated (fictitious) weaknesses.

For civilian craft such as that I have no problem with the idea, but for
military craft it contradicts with my whole design philosophy.
