Newcomer / Intro a tip on Torno 3 ?

Been stuck at this for a while now.
The mission clearly states "drop your landing gear". So I bring out the SRV but it gets shredded.
Perhaps I'm not very good at this, actually that is rather likely, but still.
Do I wear the defenses down by bringing in more SRV's?
Do I land the Courier smack in the middle of the base?
I don't need a walk through, but a few tips would be nice.

Sounds like you're too close to the no go zone for the base. What happens if you back up so that, when your SRV is out, it's not in the red exclusion area?

I've not don this before so I'm trying to second guess from your description.

If this is one of those base assaults, I normally take out what guns and skimmers I can with my ship, then hop in the SRV to tidy up any lingerers.

If it's not one of those base assaults, I need more info on what you're trying to do.

I need to scan info in a base.

Id suggest parking a little ways away and drawing the skimmers out. Is it a just a crash site or a whole base? If its a whole base then try xloubellxx's idea, otherwise pips to systems and weapons on your srv and come in from at least 1km away

Have you tried parking your ship outside the 2.5k trespass zone and then going in covertly in the SRV?
This is how I usually do these missions anyway. You usually have to run away after snagging the data...

Are you sure you really want to proceed with this optional mission? Usually I'm the guy who are the most interested in these kind of missions, but this particular site is already well known...

Ok, in fact you need to scan exactly this terminal:

This base is surrounded by a restricted zone (both for ships and srv), but otherwise not really defended, so you have numerous ways to accomplish this.

Fastest (but sometimes a bit risky) - outside of restricted zone align you ship with core data terminal while being not to high from surface level and prepare your datalink scanner, then fly in fast - but not too fast in order to de-accelerate in time - in and get literally the nose of your ship to the terminal. Scan it. Then boost out of there. You have a bit more then 20 seconds to do this without any negative consequences (otherwise fines/bounties, but no serious danger as there are no anti-ship defenses).
Other approach - srv sacrifice - land outside, then just drive as fast as possible and scan this terminal, 20 seconds + your srv hull/shields are sufficient for one way travel. Then you can try to fight your way back. Not really necessary as mission will be already accomplished (just note, that you can always shot down turrets from safe distance - their efficient range is less then yours) .
And certainly there is always third option - just clear out whole base using all available methods.
Don't count on big reward from this one.
Fly safe

btw - "funny way" - in case of this particular settlement you can simply shut down all skimmers at once (for a limited period of time) by scanning the appropriate terminal (the one with skimmer icon on the map above) =)
