The Planet Lander is the basic vehicle for exploration of planet surfaces, usually intended to gather minerals and biological data. The Flagship can hold up to ten at a time, and they can be produced at a cost of 500 RU per unit. They each typically hold twelve crew members (the equivalent of a crew of two Precursors) and can carry 50 tons of cargo before returning to the ship. They are also equipped with a stun beam in order to subdue hostile lifeforms on a planet so they can be researched to gain biological data. Should the whole lander crew be killed by hazards, the vehicle will be destroyed.
The planet landers can also be upgraded. Technological advances bought from the Melnorme for this include double cargo capacity (this does not affect data capacity), greater rate of stun beam fire, greater speed, protection from alien life attacks, heat shielding, lightning resistance, and earthquake shock protection.
