Flying An SRV in Orbit - Live on Twtich and need help!

So I switched off everything but my life support and left it running overnight. I'm now 2.22Ls away from the planet...

Total SRV distance, which was around 500Km at the start:

Time for this to end.
 
Farseer is having problems at the moment. I abandoned my Mac for my pc and upped the cash to buy he engineers, first landing ever went smoothly on a random moon, starting to get impressed I thought I'd check out an engineer and headed for Felicity's base. It looked cool on approach but imagine my surprise when I was directed to land at pad 4 I could see the lights but no pad existed. After nearly ten minutes of trying to dock in thin air I gave up. I tried another pad and got in this time.

next instant mistake was deploying the srv I was deposited randomly in thin air 2km away, I watched as I fell slowly hundreds of meters to the ground below then having survived I drove around for a bit. Went to board the srv and found permission to be denied. I was really confused.

half an hour went by before I realised that I could summon the ship which landed a km away, despite the fact that I had previously docked it in a hanger and shouldn't have been able to do this.

I can only assume that the base kicked me because I made the RNG gods angry by not bothering with them. I don't want random effects I only visited the base because its hand crafted and supposed to be a work of art. It was on the night side of the planet to boot so I didnt see much anyway.

i gave up and abandoned the asp on the bedrock just outside the base and logged out.
Looking for a way up the cliff will take you hours, that piece of terrain is tens of kilometre long
But...
... There is a garage down the cliff, next to the bridges. You do not need to head to the assigned location.
If you request boarding and head to the garage you can still board your ship.
That's how I did after failing to turn on my headlights to realise a cliff

This suits well :rolleyes:

Well, I tried - and failed!

He was moving far too quickly for my Python to keep up (Nerf SRV speed now!). I tried to play a little 'intergalactic snooker' and get him between me and the planet and try to 'bump' him back - alas, I couldn't get the shot. Then an NPC pirate popped in, and foolishly I shot before the scan completed: WANTED.

It definitely wasn't the result of a few too many Lavian beverages...

Sadly, at 00.45 GMT I had to depart... Thinking about that poor soul adrift. I'm sorry, CMDR - May your SRV exploits serve as a lesson to all
