Frontier Developments has offered Elite Dangerous players with access to the game’s troubled Odyssey expansion a bit of an early Christmas present, finally introducing a new ground vehicle option – the two-seater Scorpion SRV – for the first time in six years.
Elite Dangerous’ first SRV (that’s Surface Recon Vehicle, in case you were wondering) arrived as part of the game’s Horizons expansion back in 2015. Horizons added the ability to land on planets, and that first SRV, the single-seater Scarab – released long before the Odyssey expansion introduced on-foot traversal – was an integral part of the puzzle, giving players the ability to travel outside their ships.
