You guys know how incompetent I am right? I've just landed at a planet base to deliver some goods and whilst on the landing pad decided to try out the SRV. Well I now know I need to allocate keys to the controls but how on earth do I get it back in the ship? It hasn't moved from under the ship but I can't see a way to dock it.

Wow! Thanks for being so quick with the reply WingNuts. That did the trick! Many thanks smile

Is that a bug or I did something wrong?

Python reentry is difficult from front or back if not impossible. Have to enter from the sides.

If you're under the ship you need to line up, essentially be centered under the opening. And you have to be facing the same direction that you were deployed in, seems to be facing the rear on all of my ships.

Then use the same method you did to deploy it.

3 key, then Scarab, then Board Ship. If it doesn't work and you see the 'Proceed to Docking Point" or whatever it says try inching forward or backward a bit until "Board Ship" appears, then click it and you're back on board.


No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

Firstly, if you go into the SRV while your ship is docked at a base landing pad... be sure to request permission from the base to dock while in the SRV. It's exactly the same as though you were going to land a ship at the base.

Then once you drive into the SRV garage under your ship, you can choose the "Board Ship" option. It's easy to find the right landing pad garage, just select your ship and it'll highlight exactly where it is. Drive into the SRV garage far enough, and "Board Ship" should be available.

IIRC, you can't "Board Ship" unless you request permission from the base first, though.

Your other option is simply to drive the SRV 2km to 3km away from the base, then choose "Recall Ship". It should leave the base on autopilot, and come land near you.

It's been a while since I've done these two things, but I'm pretty confident they still work.

I completely disregarded the fact that you deployed while at the station. I'd listen to Adlabs smile
