I kind of understand why an abandoned SRV self destructs in ED and ED Horizons. This made sense since it would no longer be recoverable by the pilot who couldn't walk.
With Odyssey I would like to see this revisited since a person could land ship and walk back to the SRV. Personally, way out in the black, I would like to accumulate 3 or 4 of them on the surface of a planet in my favorite system. Then if I wreck one, I can go get a spare without flying 7000LY to a DSSA.
When I have traveled 15 km away from my Chevy Cruise parked at a grocery store parking lot, I have never returned to find it self destructed. Likewise, if abandoned in the wrong neighborhood, Id like to see that other Odyssey players can steal it or destroy it. Clearly we already have the precident that in a hostile environment the NPC can destroy it. God knows they have destroyed countless of mine.

Even better, I was inside a large Thargoid structure with AspEx parked right outside. Stepped out of SRV and CTD. Next thing I know when in game again, I'm over 3km from center of structure on foot. Both ship and SRV show on HUD compas so I hoof it back in. Some of the higher points of the structure were over a klick high. Get back, doors won't open. SRV, sensor and probe inside. Got more on carrier so depart to get another probe and sensor. Upon depart "SRV destroyed". Get back to carrier and check to see if I sell SRVs and find both bays filled. Later found that exiting structure with probe and sensor hung in their cradles, if you go out a door, it closes and you can't get back in. I thought it didn't do that in ED/Horizons but it had been a while since last visit.
Where did I say a grocery store is 15 km long?Ok, I'd imagine the grocery stores are big in your country... But 15km.. Come on
I suppose its possible to buy a big cargo type ship that can have multiple SRV hangers and just park that on a remote planet surface and use it as a home base and SRV storage facility (although the ship would probably auto-orbit). This idea would require the use of an Apex Shuttle at a very steep one time cost.
In this case, you would think ED would just make it possible to have a personally owned garage or home base facility constructed on a planet surface (for a stiff contractors fee of course).
