It floated high enough again so that it could be caught by a ship again...
Quote:2) Landing on Venus. Which even a BTech dropship can't do due to atmospheric corrosion, heat, and pressure, we've established. So you have better armor than a Battletech dropship? Why can't my Valkyries have this armor?I would say that the Mako is good at resisting continuous pressure, but not really good against weapon fire. Different kind of "damage".
Venus Surface is similar pressure to 1000 meter deep in the water. We can do this today... but spaceships are normally not build for 100 atmospheres of external pressure.

if that doesn't make sense, I can remove the "Venus drop" insanity. ^^
