When your not underground you can go into driving mode so you can drive the drillship like a car in third person view and activate the drill to go though mountains on the ground that will be regenerated after 3 minutes
i think its better to not do this but in a other post on this site do the buggy instead becous i think it would be a little bit overpowerd to take your figting drilship (if you have many turrets or some) with you. so you can just deploy your ship again if you get attacked. but i stil like the idea.
The devs rejected this suggestion many times, because it’s simply impossible to do with their time and means, and also just makes most of the game irrelevant.
Oh
Doesn’t sound good.
