"Starport is build on a thinly paved swamp. Ships with landing gear ground pressure over X tons/m^2 are advised to maintain sufficient CG lift to keep landing gear ground pressure under threshold. Failure to comply may result in breaking through the pavement,
resulting in damage assessment, fines, and possible damage to your ship. Ships are advised to restrict takeoff and landing g's to avoid breaching the paving. Failure to comply will result in damage assessments and fines.”
