This one tried that too but got bored (his brother is in a chair to the left):

How do you know its a rock?Another vote for invisible rocks. I quite like them actually.
Check out those treads!
Could be a big box with "SHIP INTERIORS" written on the side.
This can't be right. The way atmosphere is darkeing the background tells us that there is too much dust in the atmosphere. In order to have this level of darkening, the atmosphere should be way more dense and visibility more reduced in the surface. It's happening on every planet. I insist post after post that atmospheres are broken. as much or even more than planetary generation. The way haze, scattering, dust and all elements are modeled it's not working well at the moment.

Isn't this just the dark side? Like away from the sun?
Would you care to elaborate?
There very many posts and complaints about this since Alpha. As with the magnetic drinks in the magnetic glasses
Sure, no problem. Light scattering is additive and doesn't darken what you have on the background unless it was really really thick. That's what you are seeing in the screenshot in the higher layers of atmos. However dust floating in the atmosphere is subtractive and darkens and obscures what you have in the background.
In all planets of EDO there is a layer of dust only in the sky that is too strong considering amazing visibility range that we have at ground level. In order to create a darkening as strong as in the screenshot, you would need a lot of dust floating in the atmos that would reduce ground level visibility. And as we know in the case of Mars, where the atmosphere is very faint but has a lot of dust floating around, visibility is not great because of dust, not atmosphere.
I think in EDO the dust layer in atmospheres is broken and that's sky it always looks darker near the horizon than higher, no matter the direction of the sun (at least in most planets) and yet ground visibility is almost infinite always. So we have two problems, one that there is too much dust in many cases and most importantly, that the dust layer is not rendered over the terrain geometry. That's what makes colors disconnected near the horizon line currently. I don;t know if its a creative decision, a performance constrain or an error, but it's technically not correct at the moment.

Yes, it's the dark side. Thus the atmosphere should be at worst dimming the star field, but typically leading light around the planet. Here, have a solar eclipse seen from the moon (belatedly noticed this is a composite illustration, need to find more raw images). Note that this has a brighter Earth than most planets would be in Elite due to the full moon's reflection, but the point is, that atmosphere is bright.
Himawari-8 night side images barely show a sliver of light (e.g. at the north side in fd__b03_1430), but those are taken from quite close to the planet. NASA's New Full-hemisphere Views of Earth at Night from 2017 show illumination on opposite sides.
I think looking at true imagery more leads to the question of not only why that is dark, but how it can be so very thick. It certainly wouldn't be in a "tenuous" atmosphere!

Sorry to bother, stealing that one for a meme.
Unfortunately, that's been around way before Odyssey.. I'm sure there's youtube videos of people driving into the ground in their SRVs, that happened to me a few times years ago.
Bug, texture issue, or an early hint of the new "Monster Truck" SRV design?
Lilly pads
Not sure if this helps, or not, but I noticed after a ground conflict zone battle, I called for an APEX taxi. As I was running towards it, the lily pads started showing up. I cant recall if it was during the APEX's descent or if it had already touched down. As I neared the APEX they went away. I've seen them in other places and at other times, but something was definitely linked to the APEX shuttle landing. Maybe any ships landing or flying low causes some LOD thing to happen.
