Solo Reclaimer Salvage Gameplay | Star Citizen 3.23 4K Gameplay

[@Zeugenschutz]

I load up my reclaimer with 100+ food Water full set of clothes bought from Babbage, spawn at Hex float into the Yela belt scrape panels alone, bed log. Friends log in join me get paid if they want it or we chat etc. The dance goes on, I do not miss planet or station landings. Until the reclaimer is 280+ full then I just dock at hex and sell stock up. It aint about the money, think of the Reclaimer as a chat room. I never thought the reclaimer would be so fun to fly, regardless of the profit she is worth a look. Solo is panel scraping not claw.

[@eddiepatch2]

I just find scraping so boring. Much more fun to munch and fill up as many SCU of CM as possible. I think my record is close to 900 SCU though I could have gone crazier with it in the Processing room, I've had issues with boxes clipping out of the walls in the past though

[@drenx87]

fun to fly lol // its my fav ship but flying that thing .... i fckn hate it... such huge ship with barely any sound .... slow i understand but buggy at times with elevators. they need to fix everything on that $500 ship

[@Zeugenschutz]

@@drenx87 Works great for me, decouple push it forward bounce around scan for panels. The sub deck has a bug where u choke to death, its why I stick a Nursa in the back. I have my dead clones lying in beds The music also get sinister in various parts of the ship, i like to leave guns ammo in separate places lol. Maybe I should get out more lmao

[@Bokaj01]

Don't you get attacked a lot by pirates in that region? I'm not a pirate but I recently managed to buy a Corsair and in that thing I took down a Reclaimer fairly easy I must say. Thought they were almost indestructible but that's not the case :)

Good job. Switching to star citizen is probably the best that will happen to you this year.

[@thesoldier8477]

You want another trick with the reclaimer. Kite your reclaimer out with weapons, powerplant, a full kit. Get some friends and run VHRT/ERT bounties. The reclaimer is a tank, and it's kinda fun to be a rag tag capital ship

[@Farrister]

She is an absolute beefcake in combat

[@jaag6453]

Just a thought on landings. I land with my ship lights on day or night. You can tell if you're far enough forward by the size of the circle of light on the hangar door frame in front of you. It takes a bit to work out but once you do it makes it fairly easy imo. The only possible downside is you do have to come in nose down to get the light to shine on the structure.

[@CarterDDana]

The Reclaimer is my favorite ship, love seeing gameplay of it. Can’t wait to see a rework of it, I want to see how they’ll change it up to accommodate for cargo update (if they do), shoving 16SCU crates down the elevator shaft to the hanger will be interesting. Also look forward to seeing how they rework the ship for system components and being able to remove and replace those huge components in and out of the engineering section.

[@reamoinmcdonachadh9519]

Thank you Farrister, for another awesome gameplay video.

[@Daniel-ll2bx]

Hey Farrister, really enjoy your videos, always super relaxing and informative. Just an FYI, you mentioned at 2 min that you only have the trawler module. You can buy the abrade scraper module and equip it on the reclaimer if you like. I am a fan of the power washing so I enjoy the smaller scraper module on it. Keep the videos up man, you are doing great

[@CarterDDana]

Yes! Two abrade modules is the way to go. Highest SCU/min

[@festersmith8352]

One Abrade, one Trawler. Trawler really gets in there and cleans out all those 2000 parts. Bonus point if you get that reference.

[@slipshft1]

I found your factoid about the pip interesting. Something to watch for, thanks! I do enjoy watching your videos as well.

[@Farrister]

Ah good, I didn't know if it was useless trivia!

[@iiamnev]

I was on the fence about buying the Reclaimer, day one of salvaging it was my ultimate goal, but I recently got 96 SCU's of Weevil Eggs which put me in the position to buy the ship after doing cargo (which I hated) but after watching your video, I am 100% sure that I'm going to buy it tonight. Thank you Farrister. Great video, lovely watch.

[@-OldMan-Fox-]

Love this ship, really looking forward to getting this one back out there.

[@Spadez.]

A heads up. Once you break it apart, the Hull exterior can be salvaged again. I am sure this will be removed at some point, but that is the only way I still get a MAJOR profit of RMC on each contract.

[@Farrister]

Interesting

[@simonbinder3551]

I have to thank you very much for the part with the power on button of the claw operator seat bc i had biig struggle to find it... You helped me out 👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@Asahiart]

there is something so relaxing to prep food and drinks and go in space for a few days alone in this big ship . I do legit salvage contracts ,trying to minimize the amount of traveling , figuring out that some ships are really not worth salvaging time wise etc..and coming back to a spaceport when you have a full load , not unlike fishermen that goes at sea for a month or so . then i will take a break and do merc jobs because i need action.

[@JackalX111]

Great video Farrister! This is one of my favorite things on SC. Very relaxing indeed!

[@lordgeorgemaster]

So this is where salvage needs a rebalance.. I can do plate scraping in my vulture, load it twice before return and make just over 300k in 30 minutes. Personally construction materials should have a much higher sale value as you have to scrape first. It would then put the retaliator in a very strong position with its cargo size. Great video as usual 🙂

[@BizzleMade1]

Please make more. This is peace for me.

[@Farrister]

Will do!

[@timothyt.82]

Can't wait to see how drones add to this loop. Syphoning fuel and nabbing components will be fun with the little guys. I'd imagine a Vulture would at least need a Vulcan to do the same as a Reclaimer on its own.

[@martinbrandt3907]

Farrister's vids rock - ethereal music - easy watching, great content.

[@snaggletoof1927]

Salvaging is a great way to unwind after a rough day.

[@nimbusottosen6465]

I was very pleased when I found the Reclaimer tractor beams could move around most of the large salvage targets.

[@elliotstephens5261]

Just brought a reclaimer for the first time so perfect timing for this video sir haha 😜

[@SebastiaanSwinkels]

I love taking out the Reclaimer for scraping. However, with the changes to salvage contracts (much smaller ships for much higher contract fees), I feel the contracts are no longer a viable source of income. It used to be that you could find derelict Hercules ships in space just waiting to be salvaged, but those seem to have disappeared too. I've resorted to panels for just those two reasons. Finding panels in near Lagrange points and their stations is fairly easy, but you're an easy target (and easy to spot in a Reclaimer) while scraping them. Your safest bet right now is scraping in the belt. Takes a little while to find stuff, but the chances of running into pirates or griefers is slim to none.

[@JL-rj9fl]

Any trip out in the Reclaimer without a xenomorph on board is a good trip.

[@Farrister]

Lol so true

[@ElijahNMitchell]

I've really enjoyed solo salvaging in the Reclaimer. Not in a rush, just out in the void, vibing.

[@AthosRac]

@@Farrister lol yeah

[@inviktus1983]

The trawler is slower than the abrade module because it is bugged and doesn't get the hull buff from the reclaimer.

[@mrfluffyribs3141]

Not the worst glitch I've found, a lot of ships show you're getting 0 cscu for scrapping parts, but if you log in and out it'll all spawn into your ship. I logged in the other morning ready to go salvaging and ended up with 250RCM just in my processor

[@PaxSequoia]

I love Space Pressure Washer Simulator. Thank you for the video; fun look at someone else doing solo reclaimer work. How are you anticipating the change to solo salvage with engineering going public?

[@MC-BigCara]

Yep space pressure wash simulator is so relaxing

[@zeroethics3082]

@Farrister: So how do you think the personalized hangars are going to affect the loop? Having to move all the boxes down the Reclaimer's Cargo Elevator and into the Hangar "Storage" Elevator feels like it's going to be a massive pain. I know they talked about "Auto Unload" for a fee, but also said it probably wouldn't be an available option for some time. Do you think having to manually unload all the crates is going to have an large impact of Salvage efficiency. If "Time is Money", feels like it may be a hinderance. Thoughts?

[@jesses1589]

It's going to be a major pain in the @ss in more ways than one.

[@Farrister]

I don't know yet. The stuff in testing is clearly being balanced, so until we know better what the auto mechanics will be, it feels too early to say!

[@festersmith8352]

I ask why would you want to store your spoils in you inventory? Why not just straight to sell? I have a friend who is anxious to stock pile mineables. I asked him how many times do you want to move boxes before the effort isn't worth it? He didn't understand the question. I guess we will see how long he is enthusiastic about it.

[@jesses1589]

@@festersmith8352 We know what is coming. It's going to turn a simple click and drag or a one click "move all" button into a multistep process with many extra clicks using different terminals. I quite like being able to fly to the outside of a spaceport, not having to land and transferring my ship inventory to local. Most of the time I do come in for a landing and do it somewhat normally. Other times I just want to be on my way to the next mission and minimize downtime. As adults, we have limited time to play...or at least I do.

[@festersmith8352]

@@jesses1589 I do understand that for those that have limited time. I personally like the idea of the more hands on. Slow down some of the trolls too. But yeah, there comes a point where too much is possible. I can't understand stock piling cargo. At least for now.

[@themightymo3491]

I was looking forward to saving up for this ship for a long time in-game, but the reworks to the claw totally killed my hype for it. I understand the limitations of what they have been able to work with on it for the time being, but I am hoping that there will be a rework to it again at some point to make the claw an actual claw again.

[@sniper00691]

I don’t even mess with ship I take my reclaimer out and go after panels they have way more rmc and only take a few minutes and if you know where to look you can fill up you hopper in 45 minutes to a hour

[@RoughGalaxyYT]

I kinda wish the vulture didn't mix a scraper and a tractor on one trigger by default. makes me buy a second tractor so I can run one set of tractors and one set of scrapers. A little muddy design compared the clean and simple scraper beam of the claimer.

[@johnnymclemore8255]

What quantum drive do you swap out to? I am currently docked on orison but I HATE flying out of there, do you recommend a different place dock? I have a vulture that I love taking out because its all one seat to salvage BUT you have to go in often to sell to make room. I think I am going to bring my reclaimer out more often now that bed logging is real.

[@MidKnight2142]

I knew better than to get my hopes up but I had really hoped the master modes would have somehow made the Reclaimer much less frustrating to fly in atmo and land. Need to try to remember how to get more than one ship out at a time. So my friend can fly my reclaimer and I fly my cargo ship. Once the Reclaimer is out of gas, we'll just load up the cargo ship, sell the goods and reclaim to Reclaimer. Kind of a disappointment they made the Hercs so rare now. Can you still find random C2s like you can panels, to scrap?

[@MarcWeavers]

ARGO MOLE salvage contract, they do exist, amazing, guess i have to work my way up the rep system to get them

[@festersmith8352]

You only have to do one or two low levels to get them. But all the nooks and crannies of a Mole are daunting to scrape.

[@thetimelapsesketchbook.9088]

Haha, first time I flew on of these it was from Old Cabbage station, in a snow storm, I lost control and ended up on its roof on the side of a hill while my friend was live streaming it on his channel. Yeah I felt like a bit of a twit.

I have a Reclaimer and never use it. I think I'll take her out and do some salvaging when I get home.

[@kal-nor]

Will we ever get bed logging back? I enjoyed just jumping in and out of game throughout the day while salvaging or mining. But without bed logging it’s and issue for me to keep flying back to and fourth to stations. Especially if you focus around Aaron’s belt. Hopefully it comes back and keeps the game for causal use and a relaxing gameplay.

[@MrPaulMek]

Bed logging still works. Just have to hold 'F' to get the right menu when you lay down

[@ulvar51]

However it’s sad that we can’t salvage bigger ships anymore!

[@omnipresencetv8929]

the potential comes when player driven economics is in and having Player owned spaces/shops/bars/spas/etc then over the next few years as LLM technologies become more widely adopted and affordable and CIG can scale in to the AI GPT tech and start developing character profile NPCs you only really need to have personality types moral compass and responce code. so split your personality groups in to 6 positive and 6 negative and have learning patterns where they mimic player inputs and behaviros will read global chat as well as listen to VOIP possbly spy for china. idk

Thanks for this. I'm curious about the intended multi-player game loop? If there are two players: a pilot and a salvager, what is the pilot supposed to do during the extensive salvage phase (assuming the pilot doesn't have a way to speed up his life x12)?

[@javadan]

The Reclaimer has 2 scraping heads, one on each side. Two crew can scrape the same ship, which makes scraping very quick. Farrister just didn't show the other scraper because his whole point was to be solo.

[@Eggsecuter]

If I’m flying with one other friend the pilot just moves ship to reposition for the scraper stations. After that both players can be on separate stations while the pilot seat is empty

[@AndrewJens]

Thanks for the update. I didn't realise the dual nature of the ship.

[@Eggsecuter]

@@AndrewJens no prob. I’d say an ideal amount for reclaimer crew currently is 3-4, 1 pilot, 2 salvagers, and 1 person on standby for topside turret or to rotate down in the processing bay doing hopper/cargo grid duty.

[@Farrister]

I usually run with 3 people, and when the 2 are salvaging the pilot moves to the salvage deck to organise boxes. Then when breaking the hull up, pilot returns, one turret goes to the claw, and the third goes to organise boxes.

[@citizenp4097]

Please test the reclaimer in 3.24... is it still worth it, having to unload manually and the price of salvage being reduced. Is it joining the carack as a useless ship in 3.24 (interms of cargo)

[@FrancisFjordCupola]

I find some of the sped up parts sped up a bit too much. I'd like to see that hangar walk and walk through the Reclaimer, perhaps at 2x speed. Instead of including some 12x stuff, just cut it out. If it goes too fast to see anything, there's nothing to see and all that time it still takes is wasted.

[@anthonylitten9504]

So I’m sure it’s going to be patched but once you scrape and you break up the ship you can scrape it all over again, really get your monies worth if your paying for salvage contracts.

[@festersmith8352]

Its been patched out, not sure when though. May be in 3.24.

nice video. but using the trawler arms seems not very profitable. you took 1.75 SCU RMC off a 20k contract. barely profitable. better use double abrade, maxing out the profit/h. (and i personaly think they are even more satisfying :D) keep that content going, i like you chan.

[@durtyred86]

It being THE salvage ship, the single mining head point is... lackluster. I guess it's to prevent a player from working solo but... Nah.. Let people do their thing. All I see is a T-Rex with those tiny arms lol.. I feel like one seat should hold two+ salvage heads.

@thefryinallofus yeah, but salvage prices are bound to change, so it won't stay the most profitable thing in game, and along with that, it may not even be pirates that end up messing with you. 4.0 is going to be the patch of Murder Hobos, so you might just die because they wanted to kill you. You never know, so it just makes more sense to me to have even some random players with you would be a better idea than just running solo. I'd rather not have to wait for a claim on a reclaimer.
