Simple things for the SRV.

Could we have a light on the turret? It's nice to see where you're going, but it would be nice to also see your target.

Could we have a ship locator? Does the ship always go into orbit after you drive off? If not why is there no transponder beacon on board? I know we could have it come get us, but in rough terrain at night you can't always find a close spot for it to set down. Had to call it twice because the first landing spot was off the scanner.

A floodlight on the turret would be a very nice addition, especially if it was/could be bound to the same keybind as the headlight (especially with the low->high->off settings).

I can't say that I have had the issue of my ship landing outside of scanner range before, so I'll take your word on that one.

I will suggest a minor change to the turret UI though. In the turret orientation display, instead of having the SRV in a fixed position facing the top of the screen with the turret orientation rotating around it, could we get the turret orientation fixed facing the top of the screen with the SRV rotating around that? I have lost count of the number of times I have skidded or barrel rolled to a stop, checked the orientation display, and then had the SRV go in a completely different direction than I thought it was going to. Something that is a bit more intuitive would be nice.

Unless I am mistaken, at 2.5 km distance in the SRV your ship will auto-dismiss itself. As for the return not having a transponder, I've not experienced this myself.

That's most unusual having the ship off the scanner when being recalled, I can't ever recall it happening to me, however I often watch it arriving when I recall it anyway so I know roughly where it is. Having a light come on when using the turret is almost a no brainer I would have thought. If the SRV lights are on the turret lights should be on

if it takes off automatically it explains why I can't find it reversing my course. Which removes then need for the transponder...

A turret light would still be a nice touch, though.

Turret light, bang on.
Because... I got used to driving around in turret(s) mode because of the aiming bug, and sometimes you just don't want night vision on.
