Has My Ship Just Abandoned Me?

So I land on this planet in my never ending search for Arsenic. Deploy the SRV. Suddenly the screen starts strobing with broad white horizontal stripes. Just as suddenly the screen clears and everything seems strangely still.

Controls aren't working but wait... where are my landing struts? Use the mouse to look around. Oh, there's my ship right above me but dwindling into the distance. Look down.... a long way down! I'm about 1km from the surface and falling, falling, falling.

Look back up at my ship in time to see it jump to supercruise.

SPLAT!!!

Hit the deck and lose all shields and 48% of my hull.

W...T...F... just happened??? Is my ship trying to give me a subtle hint???

Crikey, lots of us have suggested flying drops... So, you know, any idea how we can get that? Perhaps not 1km up... But, still... :)

Anyway, yes, interesting bug you have there.

Geyser jumping ?
The white stripes could be the set of bars over the top of the SRV canopy. and if you jump high enough, you can pass the 2km limit on which your ship will automatically be dismissed...

Yeah, looks like you drove on an active geyser and got rocketed ;)

No. No geysers.

The picture was strobing. It wasn't any part of the SRV. It was some kind of fault.

Even if I had landed on an active geyser (which I didn't as there was no volcanism on that planet) it happened the moment I deployed the SRV which means I would have been thrust up and bounced off the underside of the ship and the ship would not have been shot 1km up and activated supercruise.

Edit To Add: After finding a few paltry rocks with Arsenic in them I recalled the ship. Not one word of apology from that b.i.t.c.h, Verity! :mad:

Of course, if there's no geyser... Sounds like a bug, as SenseiMatty stated it.

I share your opinion on Verity, she can be quite rude sometimes.

You dropped through the surface.
Very rarely it happens, that when you deploy the SRV and the surface is already no longer in line with the one that you can see and the collision model. There it can happen that you and your ship drop below the surface.
The simulated gravity keeps you fallig, your ship tries to go to supercruise and smashes the surface from below :)

Usually a regular relog should correct that, if it's not than you'll need to load the non-horizons version.

I didn't drop through the surface. I went SPLAT on the surface.
