Why can't we surf Goliaths?

[Angelpichu]

If you try to jump on top of one you just slip off. Don't we have magnetic boots, why can't we stick to metal flying things and surf on them?

I know! It's so annoying!
They even try to avoid me as much as possible when I try to land on them!

You can't surf on anything moving, the game simply has no code for an object moving on or within another object. People who have tried to get SRV/people into orbit by balancing them on their ships know that all too well.

This isn't true. SRVs can drive on stellar bodies which are constantly moving.
