We need More SRV types already!

Examples

Hover SRV for low g worlds

Tank SRV base raids

Repair SRV instead of guns have it have a weld beam or something, that can be good for explorers

Cargo SRV, have it even require a double SRV slot, that can hold maybe up to 20 cargo or so.

Add more ideas, let's get creative and then maybe post it on the suggestions forum. I think 3 years with only 1 SRV type is long enough of a wait.

EDIT: I see alot of counter arguments touching, mainly, "how will the bigger srvs leave the ship if the dedicated SRV deployment bay is so small"

Well, it shouldn't take much imagination to figure this out The anaconda has a huge SLF bay, who's to say it can't be doubled as a bug vehicle launch bay have it drop the cargo bay as a mobile workshop on the ground and then depart, leaving the hangar on the ground for your SRV to come back to resupply or drop of cargo

Or, have it assemble in parts, which would take say 10 15 sec with all the magnificent sound design in the backround while it happens.

Having the SRV modular would be an interim solution. Like removing the guns for extra cargo space, or removing the cargo space for a larger fuel tank. Removing the cargo space and the cargo scoop for increased shield strength etc.

MINING SRV .... one which probes underground and locates minerals for mining. Then drops a drill rig for collection later.

THIS WAS ALSO PROMISED IN 2.0.

WE WOULD HAVE MULTIPLE SRVS FOR MULTIPLE ROLES AND THEY WOULD BE MODULAR JUST LIKE THE SHIPS.

SRVS HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN THE SECOND THEY WERE IMPLEMENTED.

WHERE ARE THE OTHER SRVS? WHERE IS THE SRV OUTFITTING?

THESE THINGS NEED TO HAPPEN.

I want one that can simply run over outcrops and automatically collects all the materials in them. No shoot and dance, just crunch and cha-ching.

nah, this is pointless.
id rather see balance with missions that pay a decent amount and fixing a massive number of bugs already in the game.
another SRv adds nothing

3.4 development is under way as we speak, regardless of existing issues, so we may as well speak up and say what we want to see !

So long as the Tank and Cargo and Mining such aren't call SRVs

After all the R is recon

So many another SRV to compliment the Scarab

And a few other Surface Vehicle Options

Then give the Planetary Hangers Rebuilders like the Fighter Hangers, and the additional bays become options for what surface vehicles you carry

Well, there was another land vessel in the concept art book that was sent out a while ago. Of course, that's an artist's vision as opposed to any indication as to what is on the horizon.

Long overdue really. Most useful ones would be:

Combat SRV. Heavier with more shields/armour and distributor energy and some serious fire power. Has military spec hacking computer. No cargo capacity. Can carry 1-3 people, two of which can act as gunner and a missile dude.

Specialised materials analyser and collector SRV. Much better scanner that can tell you what type of ore is in which direction and its composition. Mining beam can extract 2x more material than basic SRV. Can also long range scan cannisters and contents. Cargo orientated SRV (I mean seriously only being able to carry 2 at time is pretty lame).

Racer model...well just for kicks. Has gravity manipulators, so you can simulate driving in what ever G conditions you like. Cool looking stabilisers which means this thing never flips after hitting a stone the size of your fist. Snap out fins for extended glide airtime, and lastly but not least, a nitro-fuelled turbo boost.

Well ok, new SRV types would be cool. But I don't see that happening soon. How about instead, put a weapon slot on 'em. So we're able to fit rockets. Not my idea btw, someone else mentioned it a couple of days ago. But it sounds like a lot of fun.
