Not the way most people would want to arrive at a tourist destination...
Some Fen might also call them "drop pods", even if "dropping" on an object with nearly no gravity would be strange. I think of them as one shot (or at least "easy to replace") very fast and small transports... most likely with some good front armor. *G*

Forcefielding an entrance might work, but Liberatrix is much too large to forcefield to whole asteroid.
