How can I cross the Collector canyon without losing my Tadpole?

Current answer

Take the far south/right edge, hug the red Early Access boundary without crossing it, and keep the Tadpole moving at full speed. Players report two workable lines: skim the surface, or stay low under the outer crest and use terrain as cover. Do not stop in open water; if spotted, break line of sight behind the ridge before repairing. This reduces risk but does not guarantee a clean crossing after the more aggressive EA 1.1 Collector behavior.
