You can pick stuff on the ground with your ship cargo scoop just fine. Dont need an SRV at all...
I suspect the grind of gathering 2t a time is why this goal has had such a poor uptake.
depends on the ship, depends on terrain morphology, depends on how you play the game. This is no absolute answer.
I suspect any future SRV options would make use of the heavy Vehicle Hangers that most of us ignore.

You guys need to consider the fact that the SRV is deployed through the cargo hatch. It’s already slightly too big as it is (it clips through the walls slightly), so anything bigger wouldnt work. Can’t really use the fighter bay for deployment either, since the hatch is too close to the ground on many ships.
Fdev put themselves in a rut with these things.

They will just remove the cup holder and redesign the SRV to be more and more box shape, soon the largest one will just be a box that drops on the ground. no wheels no cockpit. just a remote viewing camera and small "limpet" like drones that will scoot around and pick up material, then we get the fun task of trying to hover over the SRV BOX to pick it backup, like landing but more of a pain.
This sounds like FD to me.
We could add a single mining laser for extra utility but no combat capability... But then we'd have to figure out something to do with collecting fragments which could get awkward.
Personally I think we ought to be able to collect mining fragments to sell and/or convert at refinery stations - I mean that is what a refinery station ought to be about right?
Would also mean there is a pre in ship refinery mining path to follow which I think would be nice.
If we want to get even fancier give standard lasers the ability to chip off fragments at much lower effciency, takes long, takes a higher percentage off the rocks resources...
I'm rambling now though and going rather off topic..
