Excellent video boss. Exchanged my Python for a FGS to try this out. Up till now I haven't bothered with ground missions, but your video persuaded me to try them. One thing that nearly caught me out was the Base Turrets re-spawning. I'm not the greatest SRV driver and the controls are a bit weird, so it took me a while to get to the Transmitter and back. Thanks mate. :)

+Steve42939 Glad it could help you out. SRV is a tricky little thing, but you do get used to it.. Im actually much better now and only hit every second other item instead of every single item in the game.. XD

+Vindicator Jones Just tried this with a Cobra IV, with three fixed small beams on top and two missile racks. It's more manoeuvrable but with only two point defence you can take more hits. Adding more armour helps. My driving an SRV with a HOTAS isn't improving much. Perhaps I should get a 360 controller for that.

I was doing these missions this weekend and noticed a couple of things. Firstly, if you need to find more sentries to complete some missions then try flying at less than 50m height near the large cannon turrets. Each one has a sentry which will be activated if you fly low enough near to the turret. Secondly, I found a bug. If you're close to Metcalf Keep when someone else is attacking then the game will say you've completed missions whenever the other person attacks the base. On one run someone else was attacking while I was about 10km away and I got a load of "mission completed" messages without even firing a shot.

Only the goliaths really tried to attack him, but with four point defense lasers, they weren't going to be terribly effective. The FDS and FGS look terribly effective at ground assaults. In fact, they come off as specifically catered towards that ... well until passenger missions for the FDS and fighter bays for the FGS come out. I'm nearly done my grind to the Imp Clipper (currently 8% of Lord). Once I've reached Baron, I'll start working on Fed ranking for the FDS.

So I tried to do this in my Anaconda, I am afraid its too big to land on that pad. SO, I found out that if you get close enough with the SRV to the antenna you can scan it from the surface. So I just land next to the big radar and drive over. Just passing on the word for those of us with large ships. Also I slapped two small fixed missile pods on the bottom, which take out the generators no problem, even if you miss by like 500m. You really don't have to be very accurate as it turns out.

I was doing it in a viper mk.4 with bi-weaves and hull reinforcements.
