You know what they say... 'any landing that you can walk away from, is a good landing'.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

looks interesting, however....is it supposed to be asteroid hitting a stationary ship, or flying ship hitting an asteroid? Impact angle suggest the first option, however it is quite unlikely....

Well thought through.
It's part of an OXP idea I'm working on. The story is (without too many spoilers) that you'll need something that is not available where you are, but you hear rumour of a freighter carrying what you want losing power in an asteroid field and being abandoned by the crew. You will need to go and find the freighter and 'salvage' its contents. This is what you'll find, the freighter crunched onto an asteroid that has bumped into it.

Replace the <> with [] and off you go:

(wiki)Random_Hits_OXP(/wiki) or even (wiki)Random Hits OXP(/wiki) shows as [wiki]Random_Hits_OXP[/wiki] or even [wiki]Random Hits OXP[/wiki] (substitute the brackets)

The wiki tags is just an abbreviated notation where you can (and must) spare the http://... part.

The pothole works equally:

(wiki=Random_Hits_OXP)any text(/wiki) or even (wiki=Random Hits OXP)any text(/wiki) shows as [EliteWiki] any text or even [EliteWiki] any text

I first noticed it with 1.74. But Can't say if it was in earlier versions. Try sun skimming and watch your ship go from cool to a brilliant almost white glow before it blows. The trick is to time the injectors right so you can see yourself cool down again afterward. Just watch the trumble barbeque!

Yep, it can get very hot when you're sun-skimming.
