SRVs and Guardian Sites

I think a few people would voice their dissent to that:
The Buckyball Racing Club presents: The 3311 Drakhyr Rally
In 1979, 182 vehicles set off on a 10,000 kilometer race from Paris to Dakar. Only 74 vehicles survived the journey. The race grew in popularity and became an annual event knows as the Dakar Rally. Fast forward to the year 3311. Source: https://youtu.be/VqC2Hsrh3Ik On Sunday the 10th August...forums.frontier.co.uk

My recent SRV driving tutorials ...

(AKA "How 2 Git Gud")
Actually, those are really aimed at folks hoping to drive 250km at high speed. If you want to keep your wheels on the ground while driving around a small area under control then drive much slower (and turn Drive Assist off as stated). I wouldn't drive around a Sainsbury's car park with 1G of downforce at much over 25mph (about 11m/s) much less attempt to drive around a low-G Guardian site at 70mph (30m/s). But if you want to drive fast then learn to flyve baby!
Also fun. You do have to get back in the SRV to drop the Guardian Relic into place but it is quite possible to do all the rest on foot.

This is the way.
Those are awesome pics Darrack and metatheurgist. When I returned back to Elite one of the first things I did was land on a planet and try out the srv. I saw a geyser and thought, that looks fun, lets see what happens... Vwoosh I can see my house form here! Good way to get some altitude and then tool around with the thrusters. I wonder if anyone has ever mad orbit?

Ironically both those occasions were not planed, i just hit a rock and got catapultedThose are awesome pics Darrack and metatheurgist.

Here is a commander who not only entered orbit but traveled to and landed on another body in an srv…

Instantly erase both of those problems with VR
If you're worried about cost, you can get an old second-hand headset for next to nothing these days, or a decent one new for the price of a mediocre monitor.
The game was designed for VR. It supports monitor because it has to, not because monitor is worthwhile
(If you've never done VR before, you may need some weeks to acclimatize, as you'll probably initially feel nauseous. So Elite should not be the first game you play in VR, start with a "burner" game or two that you don't mind ruining if your brain decides to associate that game with feeling queasy)

Yes. Some even came down again.

Thanks to everyone who gave useful advice. Completed Guardian Shield Reinforcement requirements. I'll never have to do that again... Until the next time.

I like the one-shot pilon charging, much more efficient than mine!
Why are there 3 pages about how brilliant/terrible the Scarab is (I'm in the camp of terrible, and the revamped terrain generation worsened it), when the Scorpion exists, which is a) way more docile to drive and b) way better suited to deal with Guardian sites ? I haven't used the Scarab for a long time now, and if I do, it's to pick off human targets with it's precision gun. In all other cases, unless I require the wave scanner, I use the Scorpion now. And a missile launcher deals with Guardian Sentinels pretty well.
You know perfectly well why
.The scarab is better suited to guardian sites despite being a horrible thing. It carries more cargo which you need for the quests and it has a better gun for combat. If you're going to do some material farming without a carrier the scorpion will run out of ammo too fast. If you're doing other tasks it runs out of fuel too fast and you might not want to constantly have to synth fuel. Unfortunately guardian structures are combat sites and the combat SRV is worse for combat.
I disagree with that. The tank of the Scorpion is not that bad, and synthesis materials are cheap and plentiful. And with a big target like the sentinels, the Scorpion gun works pretty well. The missiles are good anyway, and the shields are far better.
Because you can only rehash the Panther Clipper so many times...
I've been to the various blueprint sites more times than I care to think about (something to do with liking to vist many rather than relog just one) both for me and taking friends around for thir first visit.Thanks to everyone who gave useful advice.

Now you 'know' how they work, perhaps you might share the same with a fresher player, the variety of sites makes play fun! (well, for me at least...)
Thank you for the share. Wow that is awesome, i only had time to read to where Rat Catcher asked for more detailed photos, and wow to cool. I have never seen those types of scenes before. What an awesome pilot, to traverse an srv from one planet to another. And credit to the developers for making it even possible to that in an srv. The whole game is their unique vision of what a game should be, its fresh and awesome.
