Makes me wonder, since I've never tried, but if you land with a broken canopy, is it possible to survive in an srv?

Perhaps. But then the question remains if the ship will self-destruct once the regular timer for the remaining air has run out.

If the ship stays you'd still be stuck in the SRV and on the planet you stranded, for if you get back in the timer would continue counting down I wager.

Gameplay mechanics wise, dunno. Lore wise, it shouldn't work since aren't we technically in a telepresence state when driving the SRV.

You cannot, and I think it has been that way since 2.3 as people were exploiting a bug to where you could dismiss your ship, log out, log in, recall it, and the canopy would be repaired. I landed hoping to get more resources to keep my air longer but just it was just a waste.

I think it's weird that you telepresent to the SRV, when in FPV your clearly make the move to stand up, as though your are getting out of your chair heading the the veh hangar...

In my head canon, telepresence isn't a thing. Denial is wonderful.

I'm not 100% on the telepresence but I read/saw it somewhere. It does kind of make sense because you are instantly transferred to your ship when the SRV is destroyed. I agree with you frontbutt, it does look like you physically stand up but then I've also never spotted a door in the vehicle hangar so who knows.

Not heard of. Do you know any info. Fed/empire or platform?

I don't see them on INARA

So here's a question. Anyone tried to hit a thargoid with a mining laser? Used to do the trick in the classic games, think it's carried over?

Personally I found that Military lasers did the trick in the original: one-shot apiece for the Thargon interceptors and then drain away the mothership. Don't remember encountering one in Frontier when I was kitted out with mining gear though. Sounds like a neat thing though, like the "slow blade" fighting getting through personal shields in Dune.

Sorry could't find them on here, atleast alphabetically.

If I may make recommendations: Mercenary Syndicate and Platinum Imperia are PC wings that are both newly set up here on INARA. One is apolitical and the other imperial, Might be up your street.

Does anyone happen to know where the Xeno scanner and anti-thargoid missiles can be found?
