SRV Boarding

[Xray]

So I'm in my SRV and I want to drop some cargo off in my ship, but I can't get back into my ship. The button won't work. I've aligned, realigned, back and forth, turned things on and off, but I can't get the stupid thing to work. What the hell am I supposed to do?

Open the SRVs ship menu, and focus on it as you drive under your ship. You'll see the menu change when you're in the right spot, be ready for that and hit and hold the hand brake.

Or monitor a boarding indicator on your bottom right. It will lit up when you are in the right position. At this moment - handbrakes!

Hey everyone,

I'm a newbie and need some help with a mission in Elite Dangerous. Here are the details of the mission I'm doing:

Mission: Interact with the hub access terminal datalink Location: Travel to Pilos Yard in the Sharur system. Objective: Find and interact with the megaship's hub access terminal.

I’ve interacted with the megaship (Pilos Yard) on the planet using my SRV and got the message that the mission has been updated. I believe I have what I need for the mission, and now I want to get back to my ship to deliver the data to the destination. However, I’m having trouble boarding my ship.

I can see the option to "board the ship" on my right, but I don't have a button assigned for it, and I can't find one in the SRV controls. I have the controls for left, right, front, and down all assigned correctly, and I can engage the hand brake (button assigned). However, the "board ship" option is there, above the hand brake, 'board ship', but I can't engage it since I don’t have a button assigned.

I’ve recalling my ship and I'm positioned in the area indicated by the arrow markers, like in auto-docking. Despite this, I still can't board my ship since I can't find the control mapping for it in the SRV button settings. My ship is currently unmanned since I’m in the SRV.

How do I board my ship from the SRV? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Normally you just hit the 'space key'...It is just like activating 'starport services' when you land at a station with your ship...It has to say 'Board Ship' or you are not aligned under your ship correctly...You have to activate it from your '3 Key' drop down menu and be on the ship icon...Navigate over to the 'Board Ship' icon to highlight it and then hit the 'space key'...

3 key is indeed the default for the "Role Panel"; select "Board ship" as stated.

The righthand side "Board ship" marking light does indeed need to be lit first.
