Players on the Elite Dangerous subreddit have reported a throttle control issue with the Surface Recon Vehicle (SRV) where setting the throttle increment to 10% results in the vehicle behaving as if at 100% throttle. This makes precise planetary resource gathering difficult and forces reliance on the handbrake for speed control. Attempts to toggle drive assist have not fixed the problem, suggesting a possible bug or control configuration error. This issue affects players focused on exploration and material collection on planetary surfaces as of late September 2026.
- Throttle increments set to 10% behave like 100%.
- Drive assist toggling does not resolve the issue.
