Elite Dangerous expands planetary surface gameplay with the new Rhino SRV, a heavy-duty surface recon vehicle designed for commanders focused on mining and extraction. The Rhino offers rugged performance and strong mobility, equipped with a planetary mineral scanner and deployable mining rigs. It supports multi-crew operation for up to three occupants, enabling cooperative resource gathering on planetary surfaces. This addition opens new financial opportunities for commanders seeking to capitalize on surface mining rather than exploration. The Rhino SRV release trailer debuted on September 2, 2026.
- Multi-crew capability for up to three players.
- Equipped with mineral scanner and deployable mining rigs.
