If you have 4 legs you're going to have to implement suspension which is going to be a cake load of work.
Think of trying to put a chair on an uneven surface, it rocks around all over the place, even if the surface is in the slightest bit uneven.
Tripods on the other hand settle first time no problem.
I've seen 3d lander games where they make it so you have to land on certain landing pads that are 100% flat. If you do that cop out your can have your 4 legs without suspension. But then you don't need to worry about anything at all.
What part of my explaination don't you understand?
