	Combat landings are usually performed for speed with less emphasis on safety. During a combat landing, fighters do not care about where they land in the [[Landing bay\|landing bay]], as long as they can set down on it. The pilots will activate their magnetic clamps and try to skid along the landing bay until the clamps catch and halt the ship. Divots are knocked into the landing bay deck by the skidding undercarriage, and they later need to be pounded out ~~(which suggests they're more dents than divots, however)~~.

The pilots will activate their magnetic clamps and try to skid along the landing bay until the clamps catch and halt the ship. Divots are knocked into the landing bay deck by the skidding undercarriage, and they later need to be pounded out (which suggests they're more dents than divots, however).
