Players piloting the Nomad vehicle in Elite Dangerous have encountered an issue where the vehicle unexpectedly resets its altitude to approximately 4 kilometers above the planet surface. This occurs both when using "Follow Me" mode and after dismissing the mothership, causing the Nomad to abruptly ascend from near-ground levels to higher altitudes. The problem is confirmed not to be related to the distance from the mothership, contrary to earlier assumptions. This glitch disrupts exploration and surface operations, prompting the community to seek explanations and await fixes amid ongoing server maintenance and updates.
- Altitude resets happen in both "Follow Me" mode and when mothership is dismissed.
- Issue is unrelated to mothership distance, ruling out initial theories.
