Air drop SRVs

Right? Seems easy enough to implement. Beats waiting for your ship to land. Also, I would love a hover bike that goes much faster over terrain than the scarab and can be quickly mounted and dismounted at the cost of being much weaker/not charging and resupplying the player. But I also want a bajillion dollars.

It's not a new suggestion by any means but it's still a good one. Air dropping an SRV would be pretty darn cool and the mechanics for it are possibly in the game already with the air dropping of yourself into a ground CZ. Also, no restrictions on height for some aerial to ground shenanigans.

I like the idea too. Drop height can be constant or relative to gravity with possibility to override setting on player demand (which means killing Yourself while ignoring warning should be also possible).
I'm also fond of idea of hovercraft type SRV (fuel usage relative to gravity?), that would be real blessing on some worlds with really rough terrain.

As someone who spent several months taking the scenic route to Beagle Point and back, including visiting a lot of planets and trying to find a landing spot in really rough terrain, I also would support the idea of being able to air-drop the SRV. It's already the case that the ship can pick up the SRV without needing to touch the ground, so it would make sense to be able to drop it down too.

Some sort of hover bike or similar vehicle has also been suggested before, and I think that's also a good idea. Have it work based on whatever technology it is that allows skimmers to work; I think the Goliath is more than big enough to support the weight of a single person.

Yes, an old idea. I'd even take a special one size category larger special hangar for it. Especially if there was a some sort of air recovery, if you manage to jump to hovering ship too. (Besides the bug, I mean). Would help with the rough terrain areas.
