Hi all, I hope I'm posting in the right area for this, I don't use forums in general much.
I took out my first mission that involved landing on a planet and deploying the SRV. I had to scan something in a base. My friend told me that I had to disable gun turrets to get anywhere near the thing I needed to scan, but there was a federal security ship nearby, I drove next to it and noticed there was no pilot in it, so I decided to attack a gun turret at the base, immediately the federal security ship launched and blew my SRV to smithereens.
I thought my actual body was inside the SRV so I told my ship to come back down from orbit, it did, but then my SRV was blown up and I was teleported back to the ship (I'm assuming the SRV is remote control).
My question is.... Was I doing it wrong? What should I have done differently? Would the turrets not have been hostile? Could I have got away with just going into the base and scanning the thing I needed to scan? I didn't know if the base would be hostile if I got anywhere near the base or turrets.
I've done the tutorial but it doesn't mention anything about hostility of certain bases.
Any help and advice you could give would be very welcome.
Rob.
