Everything Offends Me
You're approaching a class M planet and drop from warp to impulse drive. You prepare a transport to enter the planet's atmosphere and find a suitable landing zone to do some scientific exploration.
Unbeknownst to you, the planet has some insane rules regarding arbitrary altitudes at which the rules of flight completely change. What likely started as a VFR flight now finds itself well within the walls of IFR, just because you descended through 60,000 ft.
Do we align each planet's flight laws with a central governing body within the Federation, or would each planet retain the rights to set their own laws? Could a planet ground and confiscate a ship to ground shuttle for violating one of these laws?
