'''Vehicles''' are ~~short~~-~~range modes of transport used~~ to ~~traverse the surface of terrestrial~~ [[~~planets~~]] and [[~~moons~~]], ~~or short distances in space~~.

'''Vehicles''' are all-terrain machines to [[Explorer|explore]] and transport people, [[goods]] or [[commodities]] on [[planets]]. They are swift, durable and ready for combat.

== ~~Types~~ ==

== SRV ==

Surface Recon Vehicle (SRV) is a vehicle class that is used by [[Commander|commanders]] to traverse a planetary surface. It's faster than walking [[On Foot]], yet slower and more nimble than a [[Ships|ship]]. The SRV features storage space for [[commodities]], and enables close examination of [[Points of Interest|points of interest]] in relative safety. SRV fuel and ammunition can be [[Synthesis|synthesized]] as needed if the pilot has sufficient [[materials]].

~~=== Surface Recon Vehicles ===~~

SRVs can be carried by [[ships]] with a [[Planetary Vehicle Hangar]] (PVH). SRVs are purchased together with a PVH for storage and maintenance. The PVH module can be transferred between ships, but SRVs cannot be transferred between hangars.

~~There are two~~ SRV ~~models manufactured~~ by [[~~Vodel~~]]: the [[~~Scarab~~]] and ~~the~~ [[~~Scorpion~~]].

Planetary gravity affects the handling of SRVs. High gravity causes the SRV to hug the terrain with great traction, but struggles to climb hills or boost into the air. Low gravity makes the SRV feel very light and it floats easily. Traction is quickly lost you can use the thrusters to launch high into the air. You should avoid damaging collisions or unintentional extreme jumps.

Any damage sustained by an SRV is automatically repaired when it boards the Vehicle Bay. If an SRV is destroyed, the pilot will [[Redeployment|redeploy]] aboard their ship and a new vehicle must be bought. Whether the ship is parked on the surface or automatically returned to orbit doesn't matter.

The [[Wave Scanner]] is capable of locking onto small threats such as skimmers, on foot persons and surface objects such as [[Cargo Canister|canisters]]. The SRV turret is effective versus on foot enemies from afar.

== Models ==

There are three vehicle models manufactured by [[Vodel]].

==Vehicle concepts==

~~A [[Surface Recon Vehicle]] (SRV) is a terrestrial rover. One or more SRVs can be carried by [[ships~~]] that are ~~equipped with a~~ [[~~Planetary Vehicle Hangar]]~~. Planetary gravity affects the handling of SRVs, requiring pilots to take care when driving to avoid damaging collisions or unintentionally launching into extreme jumps. If the pilot's SRV is destroyed, they will return to their ship, whether it is still parked on the surface or has automatically returned to orbit. Any damage sustained by an SRV is automatically repaired upon returning to the ship. SRV fuel and ammunition can be [[Synthesis|~~synthesized~~]] ~~as needed, provided~~ the ~~pilot has the necessary [[materials]]~~.

*Originally there were plans for additional classes of SRVs to be released during ''[[Elite Dangerous: Horizons|ED: Horizons]]'', but they did not materialise before the next expansion ''[[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|ED: Odyssey]]''. In 2016 during an AMA, [[David Braben]] was asked ''"is there an ETA for planetary mining? and will we get a special SRV for that purpose"'' Braben said ''"No ETA yet, but it is planned."''<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/4l4f3c/ask_him_anything_david_braben_cocreator_of_elite/d3k7rlb/ r/EliteDangerous: Ask Him Anything: David Braben, co-creator of Elite, co-founder of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, and Frontier's head honcho]</ref>
