Elite Dangerous is set to launch the Rhino, a new colossal SRV designed specifically for surface mining, later this month in ARX Early Access. Unlike previous SRVs, the Rhino is heavily armored and built to withstand hostile environments while extracting raw materials from planetary surfaces. It is the largest SRV deployable by commanders, requiring a new vehicle bay for deployment instead of the standard cargo hatch. The Rhino also features a three-seat cockpit but lacks accessible interior space due to its mining equipment and storage. This marks a significant expansion of gameplay focused on planetary resource extraction, with more details on surface mining expected soon.
- Rhino deploys from a new vehicle bay, not cargo hatch.
- Three-seat cockpit with extensive mining equipment storage.
