Why fly out of armistice to eject the boxes? You can do this, including use of tractor beam while still in a hangar in armistice.

very good in space fights, but so bad on atmo :( it points downward all the time on its own, for no reason

something is wrong with ur multy tool^^

Still a bit silly not having any sort of indicator/beacon/direction/anything. In this era where you get a marker for a random bounty target hiding deep in a cave on some planet, or a beacon from a stranded guy on some remote moon, a spaceport does not have any mean to signal its position..? Come on...

Neither. Bucc is the meta.

Ballistics are bugged and the damage from them does not register sometimes. 14:10 is a perfect example of it, you unloaded onto the Talon and did nothing to it.

The hardest part is both look so good and are so fun to fly. I’ve been leaning toward the Gladius lately because of its unique thin body, fat head and rear design, but the arrow still looks so sleek

Are there crimestats associated with this method?

Light Fighters aren't compatible with MM, they do not have enough dps/hp.

Light fighter? EZ. Buccaneer

f7a mk2 is the answer.

Neither can handle laser cannons, their shields drop almost immediately. Cannon fodder in XT, only experienced fighters can survive in those ~ imo.

Very helpful video for new players! I could have used this years ago...in fact, I sometimes still have trouble finding Riker. Cheers!

Quality of Lifesaver!

I remember in the last patch when I started playing I did a lot of gold run with my Taurus, and I got to buy the reclaimer which was 15m back then.. the route was from shubin18 to new babage, I believe it's being nerfed.

What breaks immersion a bit is how , in this age of tech that yhe SC universe occupied, onboard flight computers dont have a list of ports and directions built into them.

The low orbit space stations don't rotate because they're on a geostationary orbit. This likely isn't subject to change and will be how it always is.

I started playing a couple weeks ago, and this actually would have been really helpful to me. I struggled with Orison when it was dark. The key thing was to learn how to ping the area to see that shape you mentioned, kind of like a 5-legged spider. Area 18 caused some problems since the clouds were so close to the rooftops, but that became easy after about the 5th time, when I actually noticed the line of green dots rising up from it. Loreville was pretty easy with that "TEASA SPACEPORT" writing surrounding it like some kind of space crime scene. And then the New Babbage one was easy, just because it was all by itself, away from the rest of the city.

Hexagon (6) not Pentagon (5) 😀

Yes.

Great video.

I always use the multytool in the hangar with my Vulture. It works and I always sell the second load

I'm currently doing the Cargo moving to my C1 all the time. I land them both on the Landing pad, then use the tractor beam from the C1 to load and unload the ships. Gives me 2-3 Vulture loads before I go sell.

Don't do the ships, do the panels.... go out pinging and look for 2000 6000 8000 and above on your scanner. You get about 7scu for the square panel but also go slow as they lag in. I've done about 480k per hour

Nice video. I think the problem with invisible walls is abandoned / destroyed ships that had their model removed by the server but not some invisible component of the ship. This same thing was happening to me when approaching or departing landing pads and hangars. I started coming in very, very slowly and it stopped happening. I did witness my hull flashing red while landing super-slow a couple of times but did not blow up.

Answer: yes

You actually can move boxes with the multitool in any hangar. Everyone fills the left side of the cargo too.

I only sell at locations like new babbage alternative entry in the city, where you do not need to run to the boring trains. I fear, these locations don‘t work anymore?!

When we play games like Star Citizen, our role before gameplay is reporting gameplay bugs and exploits. An expectation is to play the game after reporting. Not hammer and exploiting a known reported bug to pad your out of game pocket. No reason to bust the ingame economy and keep it busted.

Should they have been banned? You tell me. Most every patch or update results in some new exploit being found allowing folks to far exceed normal income levels. But it's usually more annoyance factor than anything else. Not a big hairy deal. And everyone knows the next update or patch will close or bury the exploit. And of course EVERY update stirs up more talk of a wipe. Which would erase any gains they might have made with that exploit anyway. But THIS exploit was big enough it was affecting server stability in a pretty major fashion.

Looking for ships so close to Grim Hex is very dangerous. Do not recommend that idea in the least.

I thought you were going to do a video on the Depot Bug (which is basically RMC for free) that salvage ships are having right now (Reclaimer included). I don't know if the bug affects averyone, but the thing is that you just have to salvage like normal (if you just claimed the ship) and then after you finish your run, put all the rmc in boxes and sell it. If you don't claim the ship again but use the same ship, the next time you go to salvage and use the scrapper the depot of the ship will magically fill with the same amount of RMC you got in the previous run (basically filling it). Spoiler alert: be prepared to wait again for demand of RMC.

I'm with you on "they will nerf salvage payout" They have made almost every other job payout almost not worth it.

You can use your multitude inside the hangers.It's a feature that's been open for a while now.

every time I've tried to do a ship by a station it gives me a crime stat you CAN use the tractor beam in your ship that's in a hanger you can craft stuff that uses all the .70 stuff up CMC

"Getting Salvage for Free" its not special, its a standard gameloop that has existed for quite some time now. Its not a hidden or special thing.

As someone who doesn't currently play the game but is somewhat interested and recently started looking into this stuff, does salvage absolutely require certain ships or is it possible to get into it with hand tools or something? From what I've seen of this game, it seems like my preferred playstyles would primarily be the non-combat options - salvage, mining, cargo running, etc. I'm *really* not a combat type of gal, haha. I've been burned by games before that stayed in alpha pretty much permanently though (and I'll admit that so far, this game doesn't fill me with confidence), so most likely the only ship I'd ever purchase out of game would be one of the starter packages and everything else I'd work toward in-game. It seems pretty clear that cargo running is available to pretty much every ship with space for at least 1 box so that's an easy "yes", and in your mining video you briefly mentioned that's able to be done by hand so that also seems viable to try out as a new player once I figure out how, so now I'm just left wondering if salvage is an option without investing into very specific ships. Obviously a starter ship wouldn't be able to carry nearly the same amount of product, but I'm less concerned with "is this a viable way to make money as a new player" and more wondering "is this a viable way to get into the game and have fun without significant investment", if that makes sense. Anyway I loved the videos of yours I've seen so far, I look forward to checking out a few others!

Great video :D also...to get your tool to work in hangars what works for me is carry it lowered(hold f and click on tool) and then sit on a box or climb a ladder. also selling at grim hex you are losing about 25k on 12 scu. salvage is my org's main focus its such a fun loop. you can dispose of the extra small bits by making tools/attachments from the hopper.

Tip: stack the boxes along the walkway, too, and you can carry 12 on the grid and with patience, another 12 on the walkway. If you the go fill up the buffer, the completely full trip is 34-36 boxes, close to 450k.

Jeezus, I need to use my Vulture and not my Prospector! 300K is a nice run!

So you can't frack a ship if the power is on, so it could be in nav mode with the shields down but the power on. Beams usually work in ships in hangers so you can probably report that as a bug. Also, you can scan the ships if you want to make sure the owner isn't around, it would show GameRules as the owner, which means it's abandoned

my multi tool works in all the hangars. I just sometimes have to unequip it and re-equip it but yeah hangars are good to go for multi tools

The thing, I believe, for a large amount of people is respecting their time. If mechanics give people a feeling that their time is not wasted it will probably work. If i feel my time and ability to play in a way that I am content with is disrespected no matter how much i have invested i will look elsewhere for games that respect my time. Development bugs and hiccups i am ok with,,, putting in mechanics to waste time or become a job I am not.

Players should definitely not have been banned. The shills all say “it’s not a game, it’s an alpha” any time anyone makes a valid complaint, but now it’s a “game” when someone else is better than them.

Thats weird you can't use the multi tool at Grim Hex. I've been doing it at the main cities no problem.

My pledges are f7c hornet mk2 and firebird

I think it only makes sense for certain things like piracy.. salvage and so on.. Stopping at a planet, station or base to buy cargo and having to load up your ship and then unload it after sounds bloody boring to me haha..

This is exactly how i started SC 6 months ago. I used the XBOX controller to control laser power. Much easier then the mouse wheel.

I frequent Aberdeen for ERT missions. Sometimes I have to land to reach the bounty on foot. Aberdeen is notoriously HOT, why they built a prison there. You need the Pembroke Environmental Suit to work on its surface. Your core temperature was approaching lethal limits. You were literally cooking in your suit. After only a few minutes exposed to the Stanton Sun's rays on the surface of Aberdeen you will start suffering from hyperthermia (the opposite of hypothermia). You would've started to get heatstroke, double vision and eventually fall unconscious. Don't ask me how the outlaws can walk around on Aberdeen without passing out and dying.
