Following the introduction of the Nomad SRV, Elite Dangerous players on r/EliteDangerous have raised a quality-of-life request regarding planetary exploration. Currently, exobiology scanning requires commanders to exit their SRVs and use the scanner on foot, which interrupts exploration flow. The community suggests either equipping the Scarab SRV with a bio scanner or introducing a new SRV model that integrates this function. This change would streamline locating sites of genetic diversity and enhance the experience of exobiology activities, especially for those using the Lynx Explorer. Player feedback like this highlights ongoing interest in refining exploration mechanics in the game’s evolving live service.
- Request to add bio scanner capability to Scarab SRV or a new SRV model.
- Aim to improve ease of exobiology scanning without leaving the vehicle.
