Please can the SRV get some updates in Odyssey,
I just went to a planet that was supposed to have Antimony and Selenium, but it also was covered in thermal vents. This made it almost impossible to find rocky deposits because the scanner was full of thermal vents signals. If you see a rocky deposit on the scanner when you get closer to it any vents near by will block out the scanner contact with its own signature. So I moved to a planet that had no Geological and it was pretty much empty or it seemed that way, I drove north for 15mins and didn't see a single contact on the scanner.
I think it would be a good idea to give the SRV some love and update the scanner, a feature to filter out the signals so we can choose between the rocky deposits, geo contacts and biological would be a nice. Plus maybe add the ability to change the range of the scanner a bit like on the current Radar system or link the radar range adjustment to the signal scanner so it changes both at the same time.
For now I'm just gonna jump back in to Horizons to get the Materials I need and that should not be the solution when a couple of updates to the SRV could make it a little bit better for the players.
Additional info,
So I logged out of Odyssey and logged into Horizons, not moving just stayed sat in the SRV. All the targets on the Scanner appeared, so I went from nothing for miles around to being able to get all the materials i was looking for. So don't waste time looking for raw materials on Odyssey just login to Horizons it will save you time in the long run.
One more note, if you relog to Horizons from Odyssey while still in the SRV the Ship will not land when recalled, i had to go back to Odyssey, get in the ship and then relog back to Horizons to carry on my material hunt at another planet.
