Followed surprisingly coming Tip Off message about potential crash site. It was nice surprise found this wreck on given coordinates in Athena system (planet A2, Lat -10.49 Lon 26.65). Landing there was also quite difficult, bcs this planet had 3G gravity.
gravity have significant influence on ship flying, and there are also higher G worlds. However trying dock on 'heavy' planet is really risky and you can easily lose your ship especially if you use build with undersized thrusters (saving weight but making them 'weak')
I was using vertical thrust most of time to keep altitude, using only very gentle 'down' thrusts resulted in dozen meters falls, and strong shields had good use

Triple times the Earth's gravity? Ouch.

These 3G were quite 'border' value for me, been there 4G, it could be too much and my ship could join that wreckage
