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.

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.

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.

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.

@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?
