Exploring, SRV !

Exploring, SRV !

Silly question, this SRV little run around! Needs fuel. But there is none that I know of! Do you really have to go round using fuel, to then blast rocks to get fuel to bast rocks for fuel ? Also blasting rocks to get stuff to make the ammunition to blast rocks again to make ammunition ?
If this is the case, what is the point of the little run around vehicle ?
Is it the worse attempt at perpetual motion ?
Why can I not refuel back at my ship?
If you can refuel at your ship, How too?

Next
Is there a league of explorers?
A group dedicated to venturing far far away?
If so, is there a network of Huts so to speak like the hiking huts found in wild and remote places used for refuge.
If Not in this so called futuristic time there ought to be.
A Group that pools its resources to establish, Space Huts for the weary traveler.
The Space Huts are Group run and are cheeper to stop at for group members.
Also any non group traveler may dock, but at a reasonably hefty fee.
There could be a chain of these with Data links back to the Bubble, for Exploration data to be logged in. This again has a % fee taken to provide funds to upkeep the Huts.
Using the Data links has a down side, being that you get less monetary reward. But you do get the Explorers find tag.
As with any Explorations taken in History, for example climbing mount Everest. They had Base camps to rest at. Refuel, and use as the staging post for the next leg.
Players could stay in the area, collecting resources, to fill the fuel tanks for the station. This being their progressive ladder to gain access to the next Space Hut down the line.
This I think would add a nice addition to the Exploration side of the game.
Also be cool to know that far far away there is a Target to get to in your quest around the Galaxy.
Possibly limited to a certain number of outposts! Or more realistically planetary Huts.
 
A galaxial network of youth hostels...or ymca's ?? Hehe yeah I ordered my hard hat for it.. giggle aside yeah good idea.
As for the srv yeah just goto those new geological sites on moons and wow a raw mats farmfest.
Apart from that srvs are fab for 4x4 fun. Put 4 pips in low grav engines and off u fly. Great fun. And u gotta just fly off a cliff or mountain..just gotta. Refuel back at ship or recall ship to you.

You can refuel on station. Or blast rocks. You can recharge fuel to full + recharge ammunition to full in 1 sulfur rock + 1 phosphorous rock. So just ...wait until you got dropped phos - and hit recharge both, then pick phos. Soon u will find another sulfur you just used as well.
Full charge is enough for pretty long ride. I have 300/300 of both mats doing as I said - recharging on phos drop.

Back on your ship you get free repair. So don't spend mats on that. Just call the ship and board if u're near destroying SRV.

In general SRV is needed for collecting mats. Once you got full you need - u will be lazy to land actually. Maybe sometimes somewhere on lost outposts.
 
Explorers are usually lone wolfs. There are probably squads and of course the organized expeditions. But if your main reason to play that game is exploration, you usually do it alone and far awar from everybody else … well, at least its my modus operandi and I have the impression it's rather common.
There is of course this subforum

Regarding the huts can you find here some related discussion.
