Newcomer / Intro Anyone else find it better driving the SRV backwards?

Anyone else find it better driving the SRV backwards? Less flipping and tipping and skidding, seems to have fewer troubles getting over rocks, and is far better at climbing sheer inclines/cliffs.

They need to make it so the driver canopy/cabin/bubble can be reoriented to the reverse end.

The disablement of the jet boost near your ship is silly though. If you flip over just as you reach the underside of your ship, how do you right yourself? And it seems no trouble to boost up on top of other people's low or parked ships.

Position an external camera facing backwards just in front of the SRV and then swap all your bindings around from left to right!

If this happens just dismiss the ship to regain use of your boosters in order to be able to right yourself!

You can enter turret mode, face backwards, and then drive.

But generally, i'm fine with forward travel.

Nah, it should've had the steering wheels/axles at the back...

When they designed the SRV, the guy that did it accidentally rotated the cabin in the CAD, so when they brought all the parts together into the final assembly, they assembled the cabin back to front.

I think God did the same with my head.
