I'll have to clarify a bit my statement,
The Essaence create huge disturbances in electronic equipments.
As such, it's a nearly impossible task land a ship on Kulthea in one piece. An even if you managed to land in one piece, lifting off back to space is going to be at least as tricky as the landing was...
All that applies if you're sane enough to :
- do your landing/lifting off on a day where there's no Essaence storm anywhere on the planet.
- do your landing/lifting off at the farthest spot from an Essaence flow or focus you can find.
- do your landing/lifting off on the western hemisphere.
Any other circumstance will lead to a crash landing ( at best ) with a fried ship/shuttle that will not move unless it goes through major repair work or just a nice explosion at high altitude ( at worst ).
And that's not even counting the Starmada that has made the Kulthean system it's harbour that will need to be deceived one way or another before you can even think of getting near the planet. ( After all the Kulthean system is under Quarantine rating 10+ )
Unless you put your hands on some K'Ta'Viiri ship as I suspect the Dia Khovaria did. Then getting through a starmada without being seen is a piece of cake ( cloaking is great ), and landing on Kulthea is not going to be more difficult ( unless you hit a freak Essaence Storm. ).
