Well overall I’m happy with the update. The new SRV is awesome. Drives like a dream and sounds great. The weapons leave a lot to be desired against ground targets though and it’s missiles are completely useless for anything other than skimmers and yeeting npc’s a kilometer or two into the air.
The introduction of seat selection when boarding srv’s and ships is amazing! As well as the scorpion hanging under the ship until the driver either moves it or someone else boards.
the multi limpet controllers are better than I anticipated. I’m still bitter that only 6 ships in the entire game can use the Universal controller though. As such I’d still like to see a class 5 ULC added with stats inline with the class 3 MLC performance. Over all I also feel that both the ULC & MLC consume far too little power for their size. A 3A hatch breaker uses more power than a 3F multi limpet controller that can hatch break, collect and recon; as an example.
I do a bit of rambling and reacting to the new limpets here:

I’d really like to see the ULC added into the class 5 slot; again with more weight and power consumption but otherwise identical performance to the class 3 operations controller.
I’ll also state that the collectors from operations and universal controllers are way better than the regular controllers due to a speed increase from 200ms to 500ms and a range increase. As such I think all the existing limpets need to have a pass done on their stats to guarantee they are better in every way to their equal or lesser sized MLC’s/ULC’s.
A 7a collector for example can sport 4 collectors at 200ms with a 720s Expedia toon time. A 7a ULC can deploy 8 collectors with 500ms speed and an infinite deployment time making it single handedly THE large ship meta for mining. While I think this is a good think the ^a needs to be buffed as does the 5A which is capable of one less limpet at 3 than any of the MLC’s and at a slower speed of 200ms vs the 500ms of say the operations controllers.
note: nerfing the limpet speed on operations and universal controllers is not the answer as it will break hatch breaker ability; which is why they have that speed in the first place.
so please, buff the regular limpets to be in line with the new ones as superior task focused tools and add a class 5 ULC, pretty please!
