hello commander,Driving the scarab is the most unenjoyable thing you could ever imagine. As if the developer though what vehicle could we bring to land on planets that is the most non suitable for planets? The Scarab! It will bump into the smallest rubble and turn wildly to any direction it feels like. It will sometime luch utself to the air just because a little curve on the road says so. Unless you are driving on a flat highway it will be a pain.
Now seriously, this is a nightmare, I see more and more posts on how Elite developers never play their game, while this is of course absurd the driving of the Scarab really feels this way.
Also please don't tell me to drive the other Vehicle, it doesn't have radar. Why on earth would I explore an alien planet without a radar?
not that i know everything, but i have a tip to improve your low gravity driving.
Now a scarab may be different than an SRV... which what i use..
If i drive over a mogul or a speed bump or a rock and it turns me from my direction... I
a) lower spd which is about 9-14 kph(kilometers per hour)
b) if it is flat moon or stretch , I accel to max for about a few second then back down to half top spd of 16 kph
if I drive and see obstacle ahead like a boulder...
a) i use thrusters and put max pips to thrusters or one pip
i launch over obstacles
whenever i am going too fast and drive over a mogul area or humps or etc... i decelerate and use the brake "ALOT "
the most under used "way" to keep going is by useing the "break" every minute , almost then i can re steer to my heading..
Lastly , if i am going 13-25 kph, and see like a canyon, a ravine, or etc...obstacle,...
a) i use thrusters to max and try to FLY over it... if no target is ahead in ravine....
so those are my tips,
x) i use the hand break all the time
y) i use thrusters to fly over obstacles or uneven terrain
z) i keep cargo scoop up until reaching a target
