I’ve recently come back to ED, after a long break. I have entered into the Guardian equipment grind, and have a few suggestions.
1. Allow our craft to land automatically. This doesn’t need to be right at the site, but within 1km. Currently all you do is fly around, searching for a site to land, which is a exercise in tedium rather than skill. It’s not like the ship can’t land automatically. Dismiss and recall proves this. I’m not looking to make everything easy, just make it skill based as opposed to a boring trial an error,flying over apparently flat ground, but computer says no. Make the actual landing far more difficult if that fits. But the eternal search for a landing site is dull as dishwater.
2. I’m on a low gravity planet, and in a SRV designed for rough terrain. Then why, for the love of god does a tiny rock stop me dead when trying to turn? I end up in a 3(9) point turn scenario, not to far from the Austin Powers scene, colliding with arbitrary immovable objects. Fine if it’s a pillar or huge bolder, but a football size rock...really.
3. I’ll throw this one in anyway. But this is more just an angry selfish rant. Stop the sentinels tipping me over.
4. This is a bug I’ve now encountered twice in 2 days. Totally wrecking my run. I took my SRV out to farm materials to refuel and re-arm. First time the green dot on radar representing my spaceship dissapeard. I though it had just auto dismissed itself. Sadly when I tried to recall, there was no option to execute this command. This forced me to self destruct my SRV. The next time(in my last SRV), I had to farm mats again. This time I dismissed manually, but had to log out shortly after. The next day logging back in, I spawned into my SRV. When I finished farming, I tried to recall ship. Again, no option to recall. Only way off the surface was to self destruct again. Now I was without SRV’s, and lacking the motivation to continue.
So to sum up.
Please change 1 and 2. Look into number 4.
