Even touching the Data link terminal it doesn't show up
Tried my first ever skimmer mission last night to see if you really do need to use the SRV. I had an SRV on my ship, but never even needed to land and deploy it. Seems if there's a Goliath at the base, skimmer will spawn with it and you don't need to deploy the SRV for this to happen.

I just tried skimmer missions after the update and had a ball!
Played cat and mouse with turrets, goliaths and skimmers, ended up with 50% hull on SRV, 50% hull on ship, had to synthesize ammo, but completed 3 parallel skimmer missions for 3 different factions.
Awesomely satisfying... well done FDev!

This is weird, it does to me, you have to make sure you point to where the target is.
Your opinion. It's not my opinion.

Hiya
,While I get that you like using the SRV, I just don't. I particularly don't like the turret and especially don't like trying to drive while in the turret.
What customizations are you referring to? Paint jobs?
Smile Aashenfox, you do make me smile!
I agree with you but when have you ever known FDev's approach to 'fixing a problem' ever be the path of least resistance. They get an idea in their head that a certain type of mission should be done a certain way of way and when the community comes up with a completely different approach to the mission type (that FDev don't like), they bend it all out of shape trying to force the behaviour that they want you to do. I wish FDev would just learn to go with the flow a little more as you suggested.
It is quite clear FD didn't want to go 'only SRV hurt them' route. Idea is that you have to use SRV at least to lure them out - thus fulfilling FD idea of players trying out SRV combat at least for few minutes completely
That's another success for 3.0.
What? You and me have a completely different opinion on this and viewpoint of FDev I see. How have the changes been in anyway a success for 3.0? I like much of 3.0.x but a lot of the changes have been about screwing with game mechanics because FDev's dislike for what players are doing with their game. Instead of providing a play ground and letting players decide how they want to interact with it. FDev have to try and force their vision onto everything. It gets old quickly.
Attempted a skimmer mission for the first time.
Unmitigated, unparallelled disaster.
Lost my FAS. Never even made visual contact with the base.
A squad of Navy Fighters hit me with corrosive weapons, and the hull melted.
Surrendered that mission. Took the rep hit cheerfully.
Shan't be returning to that.

I remember the days when I ranked to King in empire doing scan and skimmer missions. used dumbfires to take out turrets, nose dived the skimmers enjoying the flash of blue shields to shields collision... then once everything had been whacked, land ship on site, SRV my way through the scanner tasks.
THAT was fun. If I had to do it all in an SRV? Don't think I would have bothered. I can just about muddle my way through the controls of the SRV collecting materials for synthesis from rocks.
Out of curiosity... if in a wing, can someone go in with an SRV to provoke a response, and someone above litter the place in dumbfires removing any / and all threats?

yes, a video was posted in the forums showing that this works
