This is what happens when you flip an Asp upside down for a flatter surface for an SRV to drive across.

Apologies to CMDR Silh. :shock:

Brilliant stuff, I think you should submit this to the E.D. Newsletter

Oooooops :P

I have jumped from a Python to an Asp, and thought about why not flip it over after I bounced and was in the air on my way to what I thought was a sudden death. I survived then forgot all about the flip over. Now I realize that it was good I didn't suggest it at the time.

Now going over that many ships, that is a very cool idea. We need more people on the A-Team to try crazier things like this.

Kudos, on the attempt, and my condolences to the Pilots Family.

I know it's terrible but I laughed my as(p) off :D

There's always that "one" guy xD

can someone tell me what happens when you blow up in a buggy? Do you get teleported to your ship or back to the station as if the ship blew up?

p.s. can i get more info on the event? location/distance/occasion? anything? i'd love to post this to Alpha Orbital

Reminds me of the antics we used to get up to in Planetside 2, it was possible to get a tank from one side of a canyon to the other on the wings of the transport planes, but you didn't have thrusters so jumps we very risky.

No - good idea. Now we know how to find the depth of these chasms: chuck a colleague in and see how long it takes before the explosion.
