Horizons Add Ship based surface mission.

I think flying ships is still much more satisfying than driving SRV :( so in that case maybe Frontier should add ship based surface mission?
Some examples:
- Ship outpost assult
- Canyon pursuit
- Protecting damaged ships from aproaching pirates until help arrive - aka Surival

What do you think about that?
Currently interaction with surface is focues on SRV but in my opinion it will be great to use ship to interact with surface!

I agree, that would be a terrific add to the game.
As for now surface missions are a joke as much as PoIs and anything planet related. Let's hope for the future.

lol. guess why all this types of "missions" were not released in original ED?
-Space outpost assault
-Asteroid field pursuit
-Protecting damaged ships from pirates - simple as it is.
Don't even need any SURFACE.

I think this is sad but thats kind of mission can open way for something more complicated than: kill someone, carry cargo etc...

Just watched the new Star Wars last night. Why can we not attack bases with our ships? Or take missions to attack pirate outposts built deep inside asteroid belts?

I said the other day their forcing the SRV would make people tired of it. And it's already begun to do so. For me as well.

We have ships. Build us some enemy bases in canyons, asteroid fields, etc and let us decide how best to approach them...stop forcing the SRV, its really not all that compelling.

Hm. Now i'm thinking what i've got for 95$ in general.
Done (not so?)well spacesim engine and done well landing engine.
It's not a money question even. I've got Space Engineers for 10$ with the same physics and craftable ships, and even multicannons.
But, well, you know what i want to say.

All this game even with planet landings is still a barebones.
You can watch dis video if you don't saw it before.

I just finished my first surface mission. I had to destroy a generator of a turret. I just destroyed everything flying over the base with my ship.

I was thinking along the same lines. But really I just want to fight other ships planetside. NPC's fly straight up and go into supercruise. I wish they'd fly from station to station in real space, or just along the surface. Although I realize this is terribly inefficient travel, some people do it. Hell, we do it, so NPC's should too.

We already have the 4th one, & we kind of have the 2nd one, with Resource Extraction Sites. We do need missions (& even community goals) involving the attack of Outposts & Settlements....& it should really be a major undertaking too). For the record, they added Escort Missions for Alliance VIP's in 1.5....so I'm hoping this will be expanded on so that Escort Missions become a regular thing. Fingers crossed.

Seen the vid, & overall he is quite optimistic in regards to what content he feels will end up in the game during this season. I am too.
