Same here. It isn't as vibrant as I would have liked it to be...

Yeah, I've scraped along but I've also turned some things off to save power though. Like the AMFU and planetary hangar thing. That option is useful. No point in powering up an SRV if you aren't using it.
This isn't a bug or glitch, it is an actual feature that allows you to quickly see which planet you already have mapped. And on planets with bio- or geosigns, this turns into a heatmap of where you most likely will find the selected geological or biological features.
If you switch to combat mode, that map view goes away.
Aaaah, thanks. I like that. I've been scanning planets while approaching stations and checking if systems have Earth-like worlds at random, rather than going on big exploring missions. It can be a good money earner when you need to bribe or earn reputation with a minor faction in a system you're setting up home in. I just kept thinking it'd be really handy if you could easily identify planets you've scanned in order to save time.
I also think I've finally gotten the hand of the FSS but it still feels overly-complicated.
I've only read the premise of this and... well, like you, cynicism prevails. It sounds a bit like the original Predator - a bunch of humans being picked off by an alien lifeform.
The Alien series really needs a decent sequel. Perhaps Cameron ought to get involved.

It's so that you can easily see if you have surface-scanned a planet or moon without going into the system map, kludgey but actually useful - just flip over to "combat" mode to see it without the blue grid... :]
...ah ok's - already answered ;]
Still on an exploration break after all the Titan fury of the previous weeks - managed to survive scanning the Anemones on Eta Carinae AB 1 in rather scorchy 3000K heat...

I see we still have the infamous black screen on the SRV, I had to make a 1.5 click walk back to the ship, I did the bunny hop.
I like it best when it occurs during a power on mission. All the lockers and data points become empty. Such fun.I see we still have the infamous black screen on the SRV, I had to make a 1.5 click walk back to the ship, I did the bunny hop.

I take it you are talking about a crash?
Where you disembark the SRV and all you get is black screen and some mechanical clunking. You have to exit to the main menu and restart - hey presto, on foot but then you get the dearth of data, goods and assets

Yes it does, but in super rough terrain it might land further away in some cases, so I just hoof it.
Landing my Annie (manually) is like parallel parking my Peterbilt, it could take 10 minutes sometimes 99% of the time I eventually get it.
