How in the holy hell do you get back your SRV to your ship on planetary surface?

[Alucard †]

No dice i was struggling for over 40 minutes trying to google this and fiddling around under the yellow lift indicator.

It refused to let me board my ship back. Boarding options were not available no matter what.

I tried dismissing and recalling the ship, relogging. (ofc SRV got stuck couple times forcing me to relog to unstuck it) Absolutely nothing worked.

I had no choice but to just self destruct the SRV and abandon this bs mission.

The board ship icon on the lower right must be lighted up in order to board the ship.

Just keep moving your SRV around until it lights up.

Tried that so many times i was almost out of oxygen.
Got my SRV stuck several times under the ship's lift too (throttle or steering did nothing at all - yet still wouldn't let me board)

Once you are under the ship, Press 3 and look at the ship section. There should be a board option. If its not there, try turning the SRV around. Other than that not sure.

Yea that were the instructions i found via google but it just wouldn't let me no matter how hard i tried to position myself.

Not sure what went wrong.
My ship was Cobra mk 3 and SRV a Scarab. I kept getting the SRV stuck often under my ship too.

That mission was cursed from the start it seems :<

Did you pick up some cargo into your SRV while your ship doesn't have cargo racks installed? In this case you can't board your ship because cargo can't be moved to it. If it's the case - dump the cargo from the SRV.

I was sure the game glitched when I couldn't board the ship from my srv. Exited to main menu, quit to desktop, you name it I've done it. When all hope seemed lost I randomly abandoned 2 cargo on my srv and I was able to board my ship... So... discard any cargo on your srv and you will most likely be able to board your ship. Kinda stupid that you can't fit your srv in your ship just cause your srv cargo space is full.. but it is what it is. Good luck commander. o7

It is if your ship doesn't have cargo space to put that SRV cargo in. SRV cargo is automatically transferred to the ship on docking, and if the ship doesn't have enough of cargo space - you can't board it.

I've found that I tend to have to drive closer to the nose landing gear than the indicator says, sticking the nose of the SRV out of the yellow indicator before it gives me the boarding option. But too far forward, and you'll lose it again.

Sometimes it's very difficult to get in just the rright spot. I can't remember what the keybind is called, in my mind i call it "mouse look", but you can use that keybind to look around, use it to look straight up too help you position your SRV.

you'll almost have to pull the front bumper of your SRV further forward than you would think

I usually just drive towards the boarding hologram, and use a handbrake as soon as the boarding indicator lights up.

I had an issue where I had loaded the SRV with a couple tons of minerals, and my ship had no cargo racks fitted. It just wouldn't let me load, but eventually I did notice the little chunk of text next to the grayed out Board button explaining it.

Try dismissing the ship and recalling it? Hopefully it lands where there's flatter ground and better clearance. Worst case, quit to desktop and re-launch without horizons/odyssey, load your game, then quit to desktop again and relaunch in your original game mode.

It can be pretty finicky and some ships are harder to line up on than others. I find I have to drive farther through the orange shaft of light than I'd expect, so the nose of the srv seems to have gone a bit beyond the lip of the bay. 100% agree with Dolphin Bottlenose too, hit that handbrake as soon as it gives you the boarding indicator.

I didn't have any cargo with me. It was the misson to interact with a terminal i got shot up by turrets destroyed few or them , scanned the points and went back. Didn't pick anything on my way.

Maybe it was a bug with terrain placement idk :<

[Nannun]

For me,the same bug. From min 1:30:37 https://youtu.be/WZcUBBzOGJs I abandoned in final,colected cargo to board ship.
