Horizons Landed In Crater but can't deploy SRV

[OgreWookie]

I'm trying to salvage some land mines (carefully) and have located the wreck site and the canisters and landed my ship. In fact I've landed and taken off about twenty times because every time I go to the SRV deployment screen the "Deploy" option is unavailable.
I have an SRV on board (I'm not that thick) and it's in perfect health but the damn thing doesn't want to get it's wheels dirty.

The terrain around the crash site is not exactly flat, in fact it's at the bottom of a crater about a mile across and pretty rough, landing sites are not easy to find and one where I can deploy an SRV seems impossible to find. The land around the crater is as bumpy as the crater itself.

So how do I proceed ?

PS I've tried scraping up the canisters with my cargo scoop but the uneven nature of the ground makes this impossible.

Is your SRV hangar powered up?

Sometimes the terrain prevents it too.

I've had opposite landed and SRV deployed but when I recall ship a couple of times I couldn't get under ship to board.

if terrain is that jagged you might want to look for a flat bit and drive the last few kms to collect the items?

You Sir are a genius, it was switched off about 3 weeks ago when I upgraded my multicannons and the power went just above 100%.
Not a massive problem obviously but I got fed up of listening to "Power limits exceeded" (or whatever the phrase is) every time I deployed the weapons.
My sincere thanks.
