Bison is able to perform planetfall

[Sebastian Nobles-Stirling]

There are two issues here.

Ageira made surface to orbit elevators to allow docking to be easier. Logically, any ship designed the way that Freelancer portrays them would be capable of a controlled shallow entry. Earth's current technology depends on allowing gravity to pull you in, generating friction, etc... Freelancer ships have shields, some form of gravity manipulation and continuous thrust.

The Bison, by the write up, is designed to survive a combat drop; ergo, it is an assault craft as opposed to an actual warship. Theoretically, you could design other ships to perform that way, but it would need a LOT of reinforcing at the expense of cargo capacity.

Finally, to answer the question of Leeds, using this way would be writing a, "Hello, world!" message in fire across the sky.
