Lately it seems that those fungoida that i meet are less picky and accept to settle on small plateaus or close enough while being visible, so relatively easy to reach places. But i remember like a year ago i was struggling landing my bio-specced Sidewinder in the mountains they've chosen to grow in (therefore realising that even in Sidewinder you may need an SRV), then driving in SRV, then walking on foot as it became much more vertical - i can't remember for sure, but i think that time i've used two spare batteries, and also nightvision (sunset + shadow of those mountains). It actually helped, but it was a long walk. Maybe it's just lazyness, you don't accept that take off + landing elsewere is faster, as you always believe that the fungoida is just at the other side of the cliff...
Tonight I managed to get a longer session underway. The planets I visit never have seen feet before, most of them not even a mapping probe. At least no human made one.
Pictures will come later, I need a cup of sleep before I am able to do anything with my screenies...

Now that's what I call a close binary pair, pretty cool mapping two bodies simultaneously, they're really moving too, by the time the probe struck the piper was half the bodies width off.
Had a similar experience about the same period of time, last year when I started Odyssey, looking for them on steep mountains during night. I sent back the ship, but she wouldn't come back because of the landscape a moment later since I was climbing and climbing. My SRV was already pretty damaged, fuel was running low, it was an endless descent, I was hopping not to fall from these edges you spot at the last time, until I could reach the ship. Of course I didn't knew then I could synthetize repairs and fuel from the SRV right panel.
Just read @Paul_Crowther 's post on upcoming stuff. Interesting times ahead!
When will the new season begin?

Community Event / Creation - The Sidewinder Trophy
Welcome to The Sidewinder Trophy This race is to celebrate the ship we all began with, the Sidewinder. A small cheap ship with limited ability? Not so! It can be a devastating little racer if flown with abandon and a few tweaks. Time to give it some love! Build Rules & Ships...
I promised some more information (and pics) earlier. Here we go:
It was an eventful day out in the not really black.
I found some space cucumber...
...and some white Fungoida Stabitis...
...barely escaped an attack of some Tussock...
...withnessed a cloud...
...and found something that was not made by humans.
At the end of the day, I was quite tired and couldn't be bothered to drive the approximately 1 km back to the ship. Thus I dismissed the Star Moth and instantly recalled her so she would land closeer by. Which she did. Good girl.

That's unfortunate. See above to know why.This weekend

Haha! Strange, but I've never been attacked by one. They just kind of lay there. I suppose they are simply in awe when they see me.
Whoops. There goes another minor faction reducing me to "unfriendly". I mean, c'mon, you got to earn a living somehow, right? A soldiers gotta eat
Slammed my ship into the side of a mountain, not a single module was damaged, good I've got hull repair limpets, dang high-g planets.

I had packed some for this trip, too. And I was glad I did when the Star Moth booped her nose on a planet surface at 20 m/s because of me dozing off at the stick on final approach...
I've had quite a few new to me discoveries so far, but that one still is on my bucket list...
Did I catch that right that there are some NPC carriers out there? How do I find those?
Don't think they're NPC, but is this what you are thinking of?

Looks like you've found high intensity CZs to watch for, then!
It's back to ship-shape, the collision took out my shields and knocked the hull down to 84%, it used 2 limpets to get it back to 100%. I think there are stray carriers out there that would allow others to land, but the DSSA network is your best bet, here's an interactive map that shows their locations. You can zoom in on it and hover your mouse over the place markers for info.
