It's science fiction. As in, not real. That's what he drew in response to the comment thread here:

In the Mechwarrior universe, a DropShip can mass over 100,000 tons. In-universe, the engines to land something that big would be loud. They don't have antigravity, but they do have nuclear fusion drives. Now think about what it takes to launch a Saturn V or space shuttle, and then scale that up. The engines have to be powerful enough to land something that weighs as much or more than a fully loaded Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, and land it gently enough not to damage or destroy either it or the cargo it's carrying.


 
So yeah, "thunder" is an appropriate description.
