This is where the rules didn't consult logic. A ship with thrust >gravity could easily land safely on a planet with atmosphere. Unless, it look like some erector set thing.And this is fully against what AnotherDilbert quoted about being only able to land on vacuum wourds, but having it landed was a script need...
Spoiler:(risking to open another can of worms)
If the ship was not landed, the Zhodani comandos could not have telproted to it, as per rules of energy and momentum conservation that apply to teleporting
