+1 to that!
Like to have an explorer/miner and combat SRV. Just right for that 2 bay hanger.
Or larger “planetary tank”/”heavy transport” types using 2 spaces for single machine.
Personally I love driving around with a 20th Century targeting system on the 34th Century Jeep. It makes data point missions the most fun evah! EVAH![cool]
The funny thing is, if Elite Dangerous released a 'Workbench/Construction kit/Toolbox' call it what you will, then the community could come up with aesthetic changes to many things that once approved by an 'overseer' could be made available for anyone who owned the 'Workbench/Construction kit/Toolbox' call it what you will.
There would be a great deal raised in revenue and a lot more people satisfied with more new content.
Just imagine, dozens of different SRV's made by the community and cost ED nothing to design.
ED could punch in the numbers to allow many different designs that don't overstep the mark, same as ship cockpit design really, there is a whole heap of talented CK users in Skyrim and though that CK allows 'cheats' to be put into your game there are ways of stopping that in an on line game, like when your game gets a reset when you've been doing an open beta... whatever clever people could work it out

two SRV types I'd like to see;
-An ultra fast low profile version, heavily armed and shielded but with a weaker hull due to lightweight construction. has rear thruster for extra speed. 1 cargo capacity. enhanced handling due to low profile. wheels are projected out the front to avoid taking massive damage from rocks. made specifically for Ground offensive operations.. or just hooning around
-A cargo hauler of sorts, slower with less shields but more armour. can carry 8t+ cargo, flexible tread to handle terrain, expanded fuel tank to enhance running time, single mounted heavy weapon designed for one shotting outcrops (such as a railgun) also effective against hostiles but not very tactical. made exclusively for material gathering and ground rescue operations.

I'd love to see expanded items on SRV's. I'm surface prospecting now, and it's pretty bland for the most part. I'd like an SRV that's like a scout, or even a skimmer type that can hone in on certain signals you prioritize, like a filter almost... just point in a direction or something.
I'd like to be able to take a "heavy duty" variant out for skimmer surface missions, one with 1 1G weapon and beefier shields/hull at the expense of speed.
Or even better yet, create a modular guardian SRV that can fit limited SRV specific modules that fit into the 3 or so slots you're provided. We've already got the Guardian Fighters, why not make Guardian SRV's that can do base runs on thargoid bases? There's a lot of untapped potential here, even if a modular SRV isn't really technically feasible.

If we get Legs and Atmospheric Planets we will be able to hunt dinosaurs from the back of Toyota trucks
Cool idea! A bit like this then? .... I wonder who makes this game.....If we get Legs and Atmospheric Planets we will be able to hunt dinosaurs from the back of Toyota trucks
