I landed on a planet and deployed my srv, it wedged itself underneath the cobra wouldn't move any which way! With a huge reluctance I dismissed my ship, wondering it it would let me get back under it to board the ship...

Thankfully - where it landed I could make it back underneath - I thought my fate was sealed lol



Yeah had that issue as well. Also, when you get close to your ship, the turret and thrusters go into stow mode and can't be used.. So if you manage to find yourself upside down under the ship, or near it, dismiss the ship and the thrusters will be useable again to right yourself. We have had to do this more than once :D Don't ask....

I have experienced this with an asp, also having to dismiss and recall the ship.

Came across a few planets undiscovered on my very short journey - so I felt I had to get my name on them and hand them in :) - off to the cave nebula now!

Another thing that annoys me.

I sometimes assume you can wrap up around the heads down screen, but its one of the few screens in game that does not allow this.
So I end up going into turret mode..
But since I'm near the ship the turret is locked and I can't get out of turret mode. I can't dismiss and need to reverse out and away so i can get out of turret mode..

Yeah, Fd about them bugs..

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

I'm not using my time very efficiently out here in the black, but I am giving myself goals other than jump to x system, been looking for notable land features like huge mountains - came across one approx 13500m high - takes some faffing to get the approx height so it's probably not that accurate as rather than sea level as a reference, I fly around the base looking for the lowest land point then fly vertical till I'm at peak height, then using the landing topography radar I fly to the summit and deduct the difference... Sad I know :)

On a different note, I came across a mining settlement on an apparently undiscovered world ??

I've found alien life!!

So what you've done there is stumbled across a prospector, who after finding the perfect site that they had spent their entire life looking for, have been carefully keeping it a secret.
