Unable to scan or fire weapon from the Scarab (EDH)

[Jack Winter]

Just lost an hour plus, went to get some guardian blueprint fragments, and when I got there I was unable to scan or fire the Scarab's weapons?

At first the firegroup was empty, but I was able to assign fire button 1 and 2, but they don't work at all?

Did you switch to combat mode?

Are you parked too near to your ship?

Have you checked your fire groups? Frontier did reset them for your "convinience" with update 9

I put each SRV fire group function in its own group (primary fire), that worked for me yesterday when taking out one of my ships with SRV for the first time since U9. (but that was EDO - I've not played EDH since EDO was released)

I assume you missed, as did I, the EDH bit?

Sorry, mate! What?

Edit: I got it but is is same mess in EDH. This was my 1st check when I have noticed the issue in EDO

The OP was talking about Horizons...Not EDO (unless Horizons suffered the same fate since U9 on Odyssey)

Yeah, EDH suffers same disease. And adding multiple function to same fire group works. I usually bind comp. and data scanner on secondary group on scarab.

i got used to that now. editing fire groups before gaming time.i wish i remember what the previous fire groups were.

Nice idea for 3rd party tool

The way I set my SRV fire groups have always been as I described. I'm sure that using both primary & secondary would work the same as in a ship, I just don't bother doing so.

Oh well, I guess that reinforces the wisdom of my decision to only play Odyssey, if Horizons is being negatgively affected with recent updates also.
Fortunately I do have a PC that is capable to 'brute force' EDO in 4K, so do have great fun playing the expansion - even with its issues.

I'm having issues in EDO as well. Sometimes the SRV refuses to fire (weapon groups, pips and combat mode checked). I also see NPC's ending up in the ground quite often. I can't shoot them but they can shoot me.

 

[Jack Winter]

How embarrassing..

I just tried the SRV again and saw that the weapons capacitor was empty and no pips to weapons..

I'm happy to report that the guns fire, I must have had a few too many last night..!

Yes the fire groups problem is present on EDH too, everytime I check something out that I haven't used since before the update I have to redo the fire groups.

Not a error that I've never made either...

 

[bangermsuk]

i try and they are working on scav's erm srv

 

[Jack Winter]

I had to faff around alot to get my scanner to work, but finally it seems to work!

Fire group management is still quite borked on EDH. Didn't have much problems with my ships, but the SRV was a challenge..

Also had my first on legs experience at SYNUEFE NL-N C23-4 B3.

Looked great and impressive and a bit spooky as the sun went down. Didn't manage to elicit any response from my on foot activity though.

So this was interesting, went to get materials and blueprint fragments for 5 modules. Again I had problems with the scanner and/or fire groups but it worked well most of the time. I also had problems turning the turret with my mouse, most of the time it worked well, but sometimes I was restricted in the movement to maybe a 90 degree arch.

Then I went back to the bubble, changed ships and got the required commodities, went to a material trader and unlocked the modules. Back to the carrier again to change ship and back to buy modules. I had all of them except one, the guardian module reinforcement (one of the ones that I really wanted)..

Now it looks like it still needs unlocking, but I'm sure I unlocked it, especially since the commodities are gone.. OK, it looks like I still have the blueprint fragment, but I'm gonna have to get more pattern epsilon obelisk data, and the commodities too..

I suppose I could contact support, but I want this finished now, so I suppose I'll do another ~2000ly and more relogski for the obelisk data. All in all a bit annoying, but I had quite a fun time with the buggy. Also my first footsteps on a moon/planet in EDO was an awesome experience! I was really surprised about the auto landing on a moon in EDO too.

Edit: I was also treated to my first view of floating rocks and ruins!

Edit2: I still have the reinforced mounting plates.. Maybe I made a mistake, but I'm 98% sure I unlocked it and had the needed obelisk data..
