Skimmers

I wonder if in the future we could make use of Skimmers.
Like, they are kind of cool. Maybe deploy them from low altitude to have them search for stuff for you. Instead of carrying a SLF, you drop this automated drones to do some fo the leg work. Get the signal and then drop your ship and go for a drive.

I dunno. Just a morning though.

I dig this idea! Have them work like mega sized limpets. mount a launcher on the SRV and pop out 1 or 2 (graded module sizes, of course) and give them a 5km range or something. if/when they find something they camp on it and show up as a blip on your radar to home in on.

No, that would be too easy. In my game I spend about an hour looking for something. So it must stay that way. Amen. Oh and disable data delivery missions. Out

They are too deadly.
My stationary hovering Asp was slightly bumped by one the other day. I was thrown about something horrid and left with 30% hull, and Wanted status.

I assume that at a point the planetary issues will be either solved, expanded or worked on. And, more SRV are in the way, or so they say (Someone said it, is all I know, wont go looking for sources). An SRV with drone launch capacity for heavy base assault Missions, that would be awesome.

I think I've figured out where all the griefers went.... frelling forum trolls....
