I guess I wasn’t supposed to put my base computer and portal so close to the building.

No, that’s how I landed. “Landing area not clear” it said. Then I moved along and landed in a different location and impaled the ship on a tree. I guess it’s better than landing on the top of a 50 foot tree like in the older version of the game. 🙂

Looks like someone already took the ship. Which I suppose is actually possible now.

Nah, as far as I could see, the ships are missing on empty planets. Just the beacon there. Which would be fine if the flavour text wouldn’t keep talking about the ship being right there. 😄

Landing at this base had the frightening discovery that it actually had a landing pad. As it automatically grabbed the ship, I was dragged into the earth.  
Launching & landing elsewhere solved the issue.

I’ve given this pic another look, @toddumptious …

I’m …_concerned_ … that the Walker looks somewhat _smaller than usual_ in comparison to the ExoSuit size… 😛

I’m imagining the Walker being “behind” the ExoSuit, whilst the Exo is coming down from a high Jetpack Jump . . . and the timing of the pic was “perfect” (or, in Photo mode, everything being “paused”, the camera was positioned _just so_ – creating a look of perfection. 😃 👍

Unless I’ve completely missed out on the addition, in NEXT, of an “in-between” category Sentinel – Mini-Walker, smaller than Walker, and bigger than Quadra ..? 😛

Ah yes it was just a trick of the lens 😉 I plan on doing some actual sentinel surfing soon but I felt this did not count. I just liked to imagine if that walker is to scale, how big is that Anomaly? I imagine it’s a scary story told to Vy’keen children like The Headless Horseman 😉

btw, @sheralmyst – this pic… were you standing in a shallow lake? Am I seeing that correctly?  
I’m thinking I’m seeing water surface ripples… and a greenish blueish colouration . . . . .

(Technically speaking, that’s rather DANGEROUS, if you think about it – the downed / damaged probe / black=box=thingy / comms Orb is _ **sparking** _, and it has _wires sticking out_, and it’s sitting in water . . . 😮 That’s a recipe for waking oneself out of the Simulation. 😉  
_Flatliners_, anyone?
