Logging out and logging back in left me in that upside-down orientation, so I felt I was stuck. Before I'd figured out my thruster problem, I managed to "escape" by going back to the original 1.5 version, that asked me to get back in to orbit, at which point I landed again on the surface.
Just a quick tip for those of you playing - I feel silly about what happened, but if I can help someone else with their "diagnostic checklist", then my embarrassment might prevent the embarrassment, or premature self-destruction, of others.
Right [side up], Commanders!

Daniel LouksOne small piece of SRV driving advice for 2.0 Horizons players: Remember that while driving itself doesn't need pips to ENG, the thrusters that help you jump AND ROLL BACK OVER need them. I happened to get on my roof, and forgetting that I didn't have any pips to ENG (I had just finished a small battle), couldn't get rolled back on my wheels.

Good lookin' out for fellow commanders...we've all done rather silly things, no need to be embarrassed.

In the past at most had to apply a new layer of paint, but now I go down to 30% hull before I am home without even transporting scrap or bio waste...

CoenenNow the word 'interdiction' has fallen, is it me, or are NPC's very active since last update? I've got interdicted about 10 times on a 1 jump route to Azrael, even when I fly empty. Every time I submit (as escaping is a bit nerved), but got beaten bad. I am flying for a long time now but I never had it this bad as now. It spoils a lot of fun currently. I was considering getting my T7 again but with this kind of activity, I will certainly not.

i noticed that too, i'm almost at 100hrs of game play and got interdicted more in the last 2 days than before, and in that time ive only just now had one npc interdiction where after realising i had no cargo he left without attacking me, usually they attack instantly.

'I've taken a break from FT trading since 1.4 over this issue. NPCs asking about tasty cargo or telling me to drop cargo when they fire anyway and my hold is empty. The NPC scan AI ought to be able to determine whether a hold is empty or not and at least get the rhetoric/script right. I couldn't run my T7 anywhere without constant interdiction. I do not object to the interdiction itself--cost of doing business. My point is, space is a big damn place and there are a number of ways to approach destinations--odd that 9/10 runs are interdicted. Either allow transports proper defense or tune up the NPC AI. Again, not opposed to the interdiction itself, just the unrelenting number of them, really, regardless of the LY/Ls distance. Since I went FT BH, I happy and I can run the occasional trades, true I'm not hauling the big tonnage but hell, I can defend myself and pick up a bounty at the same time.
