More surface SRV activities <request>

[Jaylem]

In landing on ALOT of surface sites, I have noticed once docked you can deploy your SRV and roam the facility. other than jumping on buildings and racing around circular tracks, there is really NOTHING of any interest to do. and certainly nothing of profit. I can already thing of a few activities that'd make SRV use in bases more interesting.

-Debris Clean-up (casual)-

these places are very clean given that there are occasions where ships are incinerated for parking violations and violent attacks. you may roam around the base and pick up commodities such as scrap and other ship parts (even a damaged/ intact escape pod to turn in the criminal). each commodity turned in has a % mark-up to reward you for cleaning the base. various random manufactured materials can be found scattered across the base.

-Cargo Loading (Missions)-

Simple idea, just cart Cargo from bay to bay and get paid for it (like boom delivery missions) you may have to do multiple runs to stock one ship, upon completion you get your reward based on trade rank and cargo delivered.

-Local salvage sites (Missions)-

outside the base sites spawn a few Km out where local ships have crashed and black boxes and other cargo can be salvaged and brought back to base (just like a surface salvage mission, only necessity of using the ship is not needed) Some bases have really cool ramps leading to the surface that could really see some use.


just a few ideas, but it would really be nice to get some use out of these beautifully detailed surface bases.


Thoughts?

That would be interesting.

I keep thinking that we could have a stretch SRV with a passenger cabin. Then we could exchange personnel with the base (workers returning from leave), we could also have surface passenger missions - like viewing the ice geysers at 200m rather than just scanning a beacon at 7km.

Just so long as it doesn't turn into "Midnight" (Dr Who episode)... then again, there's another possibility!

Wait... Looking at this list; I can tell you've never done this sort of thing in your life have you? Two of the three I've done in my life and don't ever want to do it again, even if it's a game. No thank you, this is player sadism pure and simple.

As for the third -- salvage -- I do that in the Deep Black thanks to RNG. When I fill up my cargo hold, I ignore. Why would I want to do this when I'm in the Bubble too?
