    Horizons Multicrew Base Assault!

    Hello Fdev, What's the chances of expanding the playstyle of base assaults? I think the following scenario would be quite easy to implement without too much effort: Add a function to the docking computer module, to allow a 'Base Assault' mode. Essentially a mutlicrew commander can set the...

    SRV deployment

    Case in point we can get airlifted in areas like Guardian, Thargoid structures that sadly where badly designed so you cant land there.!!! (needs buffing asap frontier) But why can't our SRVs be air dropped seems pointless having one without the other.

    Beacon switch in the SRV

    There are two places you can turn your wing beacon on and off in a ship - in the roght hand panel under the ship tab, and in the comms panel under the wing options. However, once you are in the SRV, you can only use one of these options - the comms panel. Could you possibly add the Wing Beacon...

    Ideas for new types of SRV

    - Mining SRV (with machinery that will allow you to scan for underground resources and then use mining lasers or put out small version of mining devices we see in the outposts sometimes) - Exploration SRV (with scanners to scan every type of surface feature we have or will have like structures...

    Original SRV Test Planet

    Does anyone remember the original srv test planet that the developers created the first station on; that was above Edmond Mayhon controlled space? It was locked due to no planetary approach suite at the time. This was when Horizons was in their testing phase. Thanks for any helpful information...

    SRV remote pickup part 2

    Though mentioned in earlier now locked or archived posts, the need for better SRVs mechanics: All SRVS and ships should have a remote pick up system for rocky non landable areas or for quick pick ups from hostile environments. Ships landing should be adjusted to be able to land in flatter...

    Only 2.8%...

    I'm sure by now everyone has seen or heard the 2.8% figure on board flipping. As The Yamiks said in his video and in streams we kinda have to take FDEV's word for it because we don't have access to the data. To good naturedly have a lil fun I thought it would be fun to give them a little ribbing...

    Amosphic planetary landing and starport, with space legs possible.

    Dear, Frontier, Here is my idea about how you can accomplish both Starport Space Legs and Atmospheric Landing. First you claim that there is no purpose to space legs in the game, yet we get the SRV, why not just use the current technology from the Horizons, which would allow you to show how...

    SRV Updates and Guardian Tech

    Something I have enjoyed since I first picked up the game about a year ago, is driving around in the SRV. Just navigating the surface of a planet-or I'm the process of looking for something specific. Personally, I would like to see some customization to the SRV, these being small upgrades...

    Consoles - SRV game crash.

    In February, we were presented with Beyond 3.0, a new update for the Horizons DLC offering new and exciting content. We were also presented with a bug, a glitch which prevented us from enjoying this content (or future content) as it limited planetside interactions in SRVs to only two...

    More SRV types when?

    David Braben once mentioned during a QA session that with Horizons, there will be multiple SRV types that are going to be more specialized than the base one. However, we have never had one surface from FDEV. Seems like a missed opportunity to me. Discussing this with friends we have come up...

    Reduce the module class of larger Planetary Vehicle Hangar modules (SRV)

    Reducing the Class 4 Planetary Vehicle Hangar to Class 3 and the Class 6 to Class 4 would give more freedom in builds and would follow the same "doubling" logic as other modules. For instance, a Class 5 Cargo Rack holds 32t and a Class 6 holds 64t. The Fighter Hangar doubles in mass with...

    Srv rebuild

    After loosing my srv today at one of the guardian structures I realized that unlike the slf we cannot rebuild a srv in our ships. That is for me quite shocking because I wanted to do a exploration run to the interesting planet sites. But now that's it, I have to fly all the way back to get a new...

    Making Illegal Activities more Fun and Viable

    The biggest impediment to illegal activites are:- 1. Low payouts that are not at all commensurate to the risks taken 2. Overzealous, overcomplicated and oversensitive Crime and Punishment system that actively discourages any sort of infraction whether major or minor (and therefore makes illegal...

    Getting the SRV out of a tight spot!

    Over the last few days I've been "ridge running" on Synuefe VM-D C15-10 2 A. Essentially this activity involves attempting to travel as far as possible along one of the ridges of this extraordinary planet, something which was first brought to my attention by Cmdr -NeXuS- of Delta Squadron...

    Time for new SRVs

    Mining/cargo SRV Passenger/Saud kruger SRV Combat/Tank SRV Exploration/hovercraft SRV New ships are nice but new SRV would at least bring new gameplay mechanics and new types of missions to the game. Its been 3 years since release of Horizons and we are still stuck with Scarab.

    Allow SRV to scoop materials without targeting

    Now that material space is largely a non-issue, there's no longer any need to pick and choose in between which materials you want to take. Right now, having to target each individual chunk of ore is just an annoying and unnecessary extra step. A small, but appreciated quality-of-life change...

    Community Event / Creation Built an SRV in Scrap Mechanic

    So, I got Scrap Mechanic on Steam yesterday and thought 'What should I build first?' ... an SRV of course! Here's the test drive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZLCOV1zvGw Then I added some working cargo bay doors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmpbll8vW7M Totally enjoyed making this. :)

    [Video] The SRV is great fun if you drive it like you stole it.

    I've watched a lot of videos that complain about material gathering being a grind. I don't agree. Thrash that SRV until the wheels come off and material gathering becomes great fun. https://youtu.be/Sha6LKAW9c8

    SRV in orbit! 700km up above planet surface (Mitterand Hollow)

    Two Things to Improve Thargoids and One Petty Thing I Want

    With the announcement of Chapter 2 today I want to make a push for some of things I (and others) want to see. 1.) Bring back Hyperdictions. Right now unless you go hunting, the Thargoids are just kinda there. Not the ever present threat and invasion force they're made out to be in the lore. One...

    Boarding

    Just a little thing, make boarding your ship in an SRV easier, that tiny little sound that says your in the right place to board is, well, tiny, how about a big old ray of light coming down you could imerse yourself in, or just give a large honk or something, the sound get drowned out especially...

    Community Event / Creation Buckyball Racing Club presents: Falling With Style : An SRV base-jumping festival (19-27 May 3304)

    Back on Earth in the decades around the turn of the 21st century a thing called "base jumping" was a popular past-time for the spoiled and reckless (basically an urban underclass who dressed and spoke like they were poor yet could seemingly afford to hire helicopters to drop them at the top of...

    Did you know the SRV's Datalink Scanner could do this?

    So, tonight I was out gathering meta alloys from barnacle sites and the first site I went to had a POI in my Nav panel. I had a wingman with me and told him to lock on to it, he couldn't see it. Confused, I told him to just follow my wing beacon. We gathered what we could and he got off. I...

    We need More SRV types already!

    Examples Hover SRV for low g worlds Tank SRV base raids Repair SRV instead of guns have it have a weld beam or something, that can be good for explorers Cargo SRV, have it even require a double SRV slot, that can hold maybe up to 20 cargo or so. Add more ideas, let's get creative and then...

    Horizons They Broke the SRV

    Since resolving issues logging related to the patch, when you do a jump in the SRV it does a slow pitch-up into the vertical just enough to land on your head. I thought it was hard to control and worked and worked to master the damn thing. Now what gives. I'm in my second year of Elite and...

    I think we should make certain planet POIs more worthwhile

    Fellow XBOX Players - anyone else suffering crashes when SRV-ing with two or more friends?

    Hey fellow XBOX Elites! With the 3.04 patch there was no mention of the fix for the game freezing and crashing when 3 or more people are near each other in SRVs. So my question to my fellow Xboxers is, have any of you been running into this issue??? We have no issues with only two SVRs, but...

    I really would love to see a new type of SRV

    Right now, the only SRV we have is the scarab and it's a real chore to move on low grav planets. It can't be upgraded, it can't switch its equipment, after spending a lot of time with it I find it just boring. You can't even drive up a steep hill on a 0.2 G planet with it. It's the sidwinder of...

    New SRV vehicle suggestion

    New, larger 8x8 SRVs that use the fighter bay to deploy (only for capable ships)

    It would be nice to have a large, more stable vehicle for surface recon. The current SRV is too short and is really light making it very easy to lose control when hitting bumps. It would be great to have a larger kind of SRV (which would look better because lets be real, the SRV is really ugly)...

    We need a flying planetary exploration vehicle

    What about a small flying planetary exploration vehicle as an option instead of a fighter, for ships that are capable of equipping a fighter bay? It should be able to fly no higher than a few kilometers, have limited speed, and increased cargo capacity over the SRV, but still be able to interact...
