SRV Engineering / Upgrades

[GreenDemon]

The SRV is used much more than before, now that we have Odyssey.
This has highlighted just how fragile the SRV is. It can be taken out very easily by Sharp Shooters etc. It would be great if the SRV could be Engineered or upgrades could be purchased so it can last longer in a firefight

That's QUITE the statement saying the SRV is used more now, you realize it was used more in Horizons yes? If the devs couldn't bother to make other SRVs for us to pilot what makes you think they would bother with engineers for something that is not standard on ships.

I'm personally against more uses of engineers, let us upgrade things ourselves when we get the materials. saves time, travel, and just plain bother dealing with others for some normally easy work.

Of course it was used in Horizons. We would use it for blasting rocks, gathering mats etc. We can do all this still with Odyssey, just as before! What I'm saying is, in addition to all that, we now use it more to travel around settlements, kill sharpshooters etc, and we can gather even more types of mats than before. The SRV has much more use now than it ever did with Horizons.
Why do I think ED with bother with this? I don't for sure of course, but this is a forum for suggestions, so I'm making one, you never know your luck!

Well ideally yes, it would be nice if we could actually get the materials of course. Some are a nightmare and involve extreme grind. Currently I'm trying to collect a lot of Graphene etc for Suit upgrades. It's long winded and tedious. More often than not, you get killed and then have to wait an age after you've been transported to some prison ship, to then go somewhere and get your ship transferred so you can try yet another mission and probably fail that one too!
