Surface Recon | 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]]. | ||
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. | SRVs can be carried by [[ships]] with a [[Planetary Vehicle Hangar]] (PVH).
