It's alright, I can laugh about it now (an alien base adventure)
- Thread starter Alec Turner
- Start date
I guess that's a possibility, although a disappointing one which I can't really see a good reason for (oh, unless it's because there's an instancing issue re: having potentially hundreds of cargo items per player in the instance as opposed to just 2 with the SRV - yeah, ok, that might do it). I was going to say perhaps you've underestimated the size of the DBX. Even with your nose up against the door it's entirely possible that the cargo bay is still 30m away! Did you try tipping the nose down so your cargo all slides to the front of the ship?

However, it does fit nicely in the bumhole bit at the top of the centre structure.
So does a Courier with a bit of wiggling.
1. That is funny.
2. Double speed SRV sounds awesome! I want a Gutamaya racing SRV that sounds like that all the time!
3. I don't get your loadout... I'd have gone for the 3A scoop, 2G vehicle bay, 1F corrosive rack, and room for shield or ADS. Also, isn't sidey smaller?
4. I've had my iCourier inside the base... though I didn't go through the door... more like through the roof...
I couldn't land in there

Havent been in an instance with another CMDR but it looks like the GU-97 will fit through the doors sideways its just a wee bit too wide to fly straight through
ever tried to drop more than 20 tons of cargo aroud a station at once? ;-)
That should be plan A. Much easier
Hahaha, good one.
Never thought of flying inside the base. Did however manage to fly out there without a srv...

It sure does - love the sound of the double speed SRV (reminds me of a Ferrari), all my racing videos tend to use double speed.
I didn't have that much choice at Sisters Refuge and didn't want to fly all the way back out from the core of the bubble in an Eagle. To be honest, I'm not sure I get my loadout anymore either. It made sense at the time! As to why I went for an Eagle rather than a Sidey, errr ... I thought it would look cool in the screenie that is the ultimate goal of this whole sorry enterprise. To be honest, the only outfitting choice I really regretted (and nearly turned around for) is that I forgot to slap a sexy skin on the thing.
WHAT!?!? I didn't realise you could actually get IN through the roof. Oh man ... not only does THE PLAN suck balls, it's a complete waste of time as well!!!!!!!!4. I've had my iCourier inside the base... though I didn't go through the door... more like through the roof...

Yep. Most SLF's are only slightly larger than an SRV.
But still wider-enough to be too big to wedge in the door, but certainly the right size to get wedged in the frame.
Now MAYBE, if you can line it up just right, you might be able to thruster it in sideways.
And that sounds really terrible, but you know what I mean!
Oh, and this guy got a Keelback in there --> https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDange...ler_i_dont_know_how_but_it_worked_he_got_his/
I did see a video of someone flying an SLF sideways into there, but I lost the link.

Quick recap - I'm at the alien base, in an Eagle, with a 1A scoop (yeah yeah I know) and the UA that will let me in is now the wrong side of a closed door.
So ...
Step 1: check the roof for a giant, eagle sized opening
Nope.
time passes
UA collected and very carefully positioned by the door ..
Damn!
Double damn!
Triple damn with a cherry on top ... it won't frickin' fit! Why did nobody tell me it wouldn't frickin' fit?!?!
It's not even close!

LMAO ... why did the door have to close like that at the end? It's like the alien base finally got bored of my ridiculous antics and simply turned its back on me!
Oh, and what was Plan Z I hear you ask. Plan Z was ... if I couldn't get ALL of the Eagle inside, perhaps I could get SOME of the Eagle inside.
Epic. Fail.
I've come too far now tho, put too much time and effort into this venture just to give up and so it's time to unveil ... Plan C.
To be continued.

I have never laughed out loud at *any* post on this forum before, but the off-screen explosion was genius [big grin]
Sorry Alec for two reasons.
You had me rolling watching those videos an the other is I have no rep to give.
Keep trying I might have more rep by the time you make it in there.
