Like what? And why would I want it to be surface friendly? I want it to be strange and odd. It does not bug me at all to have it crushed and unable to repair itself. I also think that a sphere that can take and perform 6g acceleration would not land that hard it might be reasonably intact. There is a reason and egg is egg shaped. It is a strong form.

Are there any engineers here that can say one way or the other what would happen if you set a Tigress down lightly on the Earth, say even in a small lake or other structure that might support it a little bit? Would it crush? Would the armor and tech save the thing from damage? Anyone have any facts?
