Update 15.01 Release Imminent

Does anyone know how to escape from settlements after completing new reactivation mission and downloading necessary data? I have just one last battery cell and ran from the settlement 5 km to be sure my ship has just enough time to land not being destroyed by 3 interceptors constantly flying above the settlement (spoiler: after second attempt it blew up). Apex refuses all my calls telling that there is no system is the bubble having drop off point (!!!).
I can pick you up if you can last another 5 minutes (I'm 3 jumps away), otherwise it's the Recover to Orbit option from the Main Menu.

I logged out just to save batteries (remembering of fuel rats service and stuff like that). I can log in if you are still willing to help.

Is that the new experience everyone was looking for? ;) Elite Dangerous - Running Simulator?

well learned back when guardian drones still had their missiles that if you get 10+km away it loads out of your instance. works for interceptors also. *usually. (harder to do on foot though...)

can park srv 600 meters from settlement or so, if the revenant don't see it. behind terrain best.
thargoid ships have been leaving me alone in srv/foot.
 
They do, but whenever I called my ship back 5 km away from the settlements all interceptors were coming in seconds and started shooting.
They did that when I tried to land to pick up zikolach. Nothing like trying to find a blue spot to land (with no shield in the most inhospitable terrain) when you're getting shot to hell by the Thargoids and zikolach is jumping across the ground towards you, gasping for breath :eek:

How much battery did you have when you finally made it onboard?
 
13% suit battery left :)

My Maverick (enhanced batteries) can do 7-8km per power pack. I make sure I pick up a full stock and top up the current pack from a wall socket before making a break for it.
You can park an SRV safely out of Line of Sight from the base but within 800m. That said the SRV seems to be more of a hindrance in this mission and I'm considering TABing in from the LZ.
Recalling my ship; If you've got scouts coming in and out watch them once I've found an LZ and recall as soon as the scouts vanish.
It's more problematic if you get stationary scouts and I've had to bail from a scorpion getting blasted.
I assume the interceptors work in similar manner.
 
Finally managed to find some interceptors besides cyclops or hydras today. The heart bug is even worse; for cyclops you can tell which heart is exerted by the white markings, for basilisk and medusa these aren't present and the only difference between an exterted and non-exterted heart is very small wisps of red/orange "mist" around it.

Why don't you just send your ship to orbit and then if you get rekt in SRV you will respawn in your ship..

That is how you fight interceptors in a Hauler; it doesn't have room for a scanner. :cool:

I didn't have SRV this time. I hoped that running few kilometers away from settlement is sufficient to be off interceptors radars. Using death-respawn loop to complete mission seems a bit unnatural to me.
 
If you die/SRV gets destroyed you fail the mission, because you'll lose the item you were asked to retrieve for the secondary objective.
Losing your ship is one of the reasons APEX exists, it's just bugged and doesn't work despite "Apex shuttle pilots are no longer too nervous to land at hostile settlements" being listed in the patch notes.

Didn't think of this, thanks! I thought these AX mission completion is also "persisted" if you "left settlement", which gets completed at ~7km from settlement while on-foot.
