SRV first experiences

I got an SRV
What's the first thing I do with it? Gain 3 no fire zone violations, crash into my ship, and an observatory, and fall down a hill, half breaking it.

Seems about right​

You've done well, congrats you are one of us now.
 
Racing around in the SRV is probably the most fun thing to do in this game.

After you spend hours learning it, cursing when you spin every 5 meters or drive into things.

And after you set the controls right, which will allow you to actually spend most of the time in the air and not below, where all the evil stones are :D With the right control setup you can even control it while flying! :D

Try doing that on Achenar 3 ;)

Only half breaking it? Meh... You ain't very talented! :D
 
Well done, they are a lot of fun to drive around.

Just don't do what I did: Low gravity icy world, drove into a crater, couldn't get any traction to get out. Even boosting didn't work, the crater was too large. Was stuck in there for 30 minutes until I fluked something right and got out.

If you do end up stuck somewhere unable to reach your ship, remember to Log out of the game completely and load up the NON horizons version of the game from the launcher .. you'll be safely back in your ship in high orbit of the planet you were on.
 
For me it's utterly uncontrollable with assist on. Kinda annoying how it defaults back to it all the time :/

There is a setting in your driving options that allows you to change that. I always start with FA Off now that I found that option.

Hill climbing (vertical) is my favorite thing to do with the SRV.

You look at a vertical cliff 300 ft high and think "Nobody is going to get up there", then you try it at do it. It feels amazing.

Crater jumping is also quite fun.

I like assist on :D Maybe because I play with keyboard + mouse?

Keyboard/mouse here, just can't do it at all. ..spin outs every time. I gave up when trying to position for scooping back into the ship, absolute nightmare :D

/ edit - cheers TartanDragon, just seen your post, didn't know that option was in there!
