Lyon DeLacyAm I the only one thinking that Planetary Vehicle Hangars should give cargo space as well? Half the size the 'normal' Cargo Rack of same slot size gives, that is. I got that idea back when I was thinking about SRV.
Why should they give cargo space? What explanation should there be for that?

SRV can store up to two canisters onboard, so why not just leave items inside the planetary vehicle?
Of course you wouldn't be able use that for scavenging parts from space or using it as additional cargo at the market - just get rid of the items either by jettisoning it or selling it onto said market.

I simply don't see a reason to make a distinction between goods that have been salvaged planetside and goods that have been salvaged in space.

Rebecca HailThat'd give you four tons of cargo space. Not half the respective slot size.

Like I said in PM, my bad for putting it wrong. Size 4 Planetary Vehicle Bay thing could only contain as much cargo as two SRVs can.

Or cargo space on your fighter,in case you forgot the dam limpets,or limpet ability on fighter...or to set waypoints on a planet,im a dreamer when it comes too suff that would be a nice fix,and this srv stuff have crossed my head when i picked Thargoid stuff,even a AX-srv.
Apperantly its stupid too question game stuff like this,and not logic for others
This whole discussion just reminded me of an old TV sitcom, Different Strokes I think it was, and an episode in which the inherent bias of school tests was discussed. The issue was that one of the (black) kids was tested and got a question "wrong". The question was something like "how many people can sleep in a two bedroom apartment that has two double beds and one single bed", and his answer was something like 14, because he grew up in the projects, where a double bed would accommodate 4, a single bed would fit three kids, one more on the couch, another on the couch cushions on the floor, and someone else in the bathtub.

I am having trouble ranking up, How do you find the Naval Ascension missions?
Three criteria need to be met:
- Rank percent of 100%
- Friendly or allied with the local faction you want to get the mission from (it helps to be in a system with more than one allied to the superpower you want, get friendly or allied with all of them)
- Friendly or allied with the superpower

I am having trouble ranking up, How do you find the Naval Ascension missions?
Three criteria need to be met:
After those are all met, you'll see missions that say something like "Federal Naval Acquisition Contract". Complete that for your rank. Note that any rank percentage you've earned over 100% will carry over to the next rank (I was able to get three in a row).
- Rank percent of 100%
- Friendly or allied with the local faction you want to get the mission from (it helps to be in a system with more than one allied to the superpower you want, get friendly or allied with all of them)
- Friendly or allied with the superpower
Thanks for that, Are the missions going to show up on the mission boards?

Don't put words in my mouth, I did not say that it's stupid, I said that I don't see a reason for the SRV hangar to give cargo space.
You connect that to four entirely unrelated suggestions, then try to imply that that you know how I value them based on two simple counter questions asked.

Run by the community (not for profit) and raising funds for SpecialEffect and Hearing Dogs, this is its 4th year. Last year 138 gamers descended on Bristol for a day of gaming, VR, socialising and fun. 42 places already gone at this year's one!
We had HTC Vive and Oculus Rift to try, space to bring a PC and get down to some games, board games, a charity raffle and a live stage performance from Hutton Orbital Radio and the Pixel Bandits. There was an Artemis bridge simulator for crews to try their hand at and even a few of the cast of Echoes from the Hold and the voice packs. OK, it was Cecil.
This year we are adding in an ED:RPG session from Spidermind games and much more. This is a day dedicated to DOING gaming and meeting fellow commanders.
Details available at http://elitemeet.info
Breaking Bonus News: Sunday 15th we are holding a Hutton Pizzameet for lunch at the Pizza Express in Reading where the manager and head chef will be attempting to teach 50+people how to properly toss pizzas.
Double breaking news - 28 standard rooms, 69 deluxe left if you're stopping at the Hotel
Triple breaking news: We also have a little social gathering in Portland, Oregon on the 17th March if any American commanders want to come and meet fellow pilots.
