You remind me of this guy, he's a golram nut, I used to work for Don Best (making Quickies) right after I got out of the Marines. I remember watching Dan Shultz and Don Goodwin do the nose on El Capitan in one day, they used our equipment that we built.I'm not entirely sure tbh - looking through the REC, on the first jump (which I survived), I was over 400m ...on the second (which I didn't...), the SRV auto-destructed at 1.5km and the ship had dismissed itself - so, over 2km I presume?

Have you tried launching your SRV from a powerful geyser?Either way it was a lot more fun than Tritium mining, even in a pristine hotspot!
...I really wish they'd take the Galactic_TritiumDistribution_Coefficient (or whatever it's called) and just multiply it by101001000 ;]

I did it once by accident and actually managed to land it without sploding. Of course, it was aided by low gravity

Sally has another jaunt out from Colonia...found a undiscovered system around an A-class star.
Rather pretty ring system.
The view from the innermost moon, which was sat on the edge of the rings.
Water world, the moon of the seventh body, a brown dwarf.
And a gas giant with water-based life, the outermost body. Don't know about you, looks like coffee-based life to me.

...that's incredible - I get dizzy when I look down off a high hiking trail - this sort of thing in virtual reality for me only Exactly, don't know why a human being would want to do something like that. I can understand using thin crack protection and having another climber on belay, your still free climbing. I'm not a believer in direct aid climbing with bolt ladders and a jumar (illegal in Yosemite (bolts)), but to each their own. I couldn't climb because of injuries from the military.Without Ropes
You were a little luckier than me, in that regard. Mine was in a deep valley with steep walls. Just a hole in the ground, easy to miss. Went full power right as I was above it.Have you tried launching your SRV from a powerful geyser?

On coming down again, I wasn't able to keep away from the wall, which compromised my shields and sent me canopy first into the ground.
(I think I mentioned that occurence in this thread, back then...)
I launched myself on foot on a geyser and never came down!Have you tried launching your SRV from a powerful geyser?

I found a pretty cool looking ringed water world.
This video gave me a deeper understanding of how the in-air control of the SRV works. Cheers.A couple of times now

What gravity did that planet/moon have? It was 0.08G there - the moons were so close together that if it had been 0.02 or lower, i think one could have geyser-jumped from the one to the other… or at least ended up in orbit :]
I have heard rumours about that. Maybe @Alec Turner knows more about that...
I think I've heard of someone doing it in an SRV... but, then again, I may just have been dreaming.
My ship recall computer needs to be wiped and reinstalled, of the last seven recalls I've had to move my SRV four times, the first time I've ever seen "Landing area blocked, ship departing" message. It should have said "Get the hell out of the way, I'm landing here" and I would have complied, but no, it try's to piz me off.

Actually I don't think I've ever put myself into orbit via a geyser. The Buur's have done it to me using force shell yeeting, I've done it by simply bouncing the SRV very fast and very high, and I've done it by wandering around near the intersection of two colliding worlds ..
.. but strangely enough not geysers. One for the todo list I suppose!
Can't imagine why!
But, now I think about it, this raises really interesting questions.
Can you request docking permission from an SRV? Do the slot cannons see you as hostile? Do the landing pads acknowledge an SRV as "landed"?
I'd imagine some intrepid Buckyball racers would have no trouble at all getting to a landing pad.
