Life aboard a Reclaimer - 4 - How we deal with Bugs - Crew gameplay - Star Citizen 3.22 adventure

[@Z3RO4351]

“I didn’t need to wear a helmet to go outside, but I did leave myself rather open to the dangers of face huggers” 😊😅 when a ship can give you these vibes, you know you’re in the right game.

[@AlanW]

There's a reason that cargo doors on real cargo vehicles are as large of at least the smallest dimension of the cargo space. With such standardized cargo containers there should be much better designed loading and unloading mechanisms than an awkward general purpose elevator. When CIG works out all the physics and server sync issues, this game is going to be undeniable. I've worked on some large software, and I can easily see this taking another 10 years to finish given the scope and scale of what's been demonstrated here. It's great that they are this far along and are letting people see what's possible and have a taste of the vision.

[@Eir_of_Volheim]

The salvage game loop has so much potential. Just the kind of thing I've been looking for.

[@DawnstealerGaming]

Yeah, they need an unstuck button. Maybe it doesn't work if you're taking fire, but there are way too many ways the geometry of their maps can trap you. I think they should post up what the priority is for clean-up, too. Love your stuff, Skunks!

[@Cab8819]

Or just out right drop you into infinite space , I don't do investigations anymore

[@noob_of_doom]

Those two carracks flying by (and colliding with the reclaimer) was one of the coolest things I have seen in star citizen.

[@andyandreson3989]

Just remember that after a 30 k sometimes it takes about 10 minutes for the cargo and items to come back. So leave it stored for a bit.

[@Citizen_Kate]

Yes good point andy! I forgot about that haha, i'll be sure to mention it in the next video! :)

[@metalmeltdown31]

Never knew that!

[@da7thguest]

"I was heading in for a landing" while all the paint from the chassis just drops due to the impact :D Had to laugh a bit there ^^

[@jean-sebastienpedron6365]

Those cinematic views with the appropriate background music! I love the production. It suits the story very well :-) Keep up the great work!

[@pegasusbs6237]

Maybe CIG should make some sort of respawn box underneath each hanger?

[@Omega_ZeuS531]

The entire area under the surface of a planet or moon should be considered an impound zone that automatically stores your ship

[@brewskiproductionslasvegas]

I've had the same problem with the ship falling through the planet on area 18. You can get the ship back. Don't alt f4. Whoever owns the ship has to exit the game completely and log back in a few hours to a few days later. It will return to being stored with nothing lost. It just takes some time if you really don't want to lose everything in your ship. Hope this helps.

[@warufuz4ke]

my buddy and i just made a salvage haul, 8 contracts (8x filled the depot), ~3hrs...after reaching 110 containers they started disappearing (full 8 contracts would be 120 containers) love your content, keep it up :)

[@MrDEMarq]

It's good that you included the ship falling through the hanger. That would let the Dev's know since they do watch the youtubers also. Great video.

[@CB-io8oi]

The Reclaimer might be hard work to operate in those conditions, but dam its an impressive looking ship. Great team work!

[@GAT_Buboyog]

Great video! I didn't realize that the 8SCU was much easier to stack. Thanks for the idea! Me and my buddy also tried the ERT in the reclaimer. I wish there was an easier way to access the cargo hold. most of the boxes we got were the larger containers and were so hard to get them on board we gave up on it. Thanks to this video we might try again! Great content!

[@brandonnorth2288]

Glad you guys were able to keep cargo after a 30k. Same thing happened to me, but I lost my cargo.

[@firstone2917]

I have been salvaging quite a lot the last couple of days after giving myself a Reclaimer for Christmas "Shhh don't tell the wife" and have discovered so many small bugs with the cargo containers snapping through the floor of the cargo grid when moving them with the tractor beam, they just disappear ! i guess they clip through the ship out into space ? also do not QT Jump with any containers left on the "spit out" grids in front of the filling stations as the ship explodes , this happened twice with 2 x HH's worth of containers in the ship : (( lesson learned , other than that it is a great gameplay loop , can't wait for it to be polished : )) loving the Live aboard series and totally agree with the Nostromo vibes , I now need to choose an appropriate ship name ..

[@Citizen_Kate]

well let me be the first to welcome you to the Reclaimer Club! :D oh wow it sounds like you've had a much worse time of it than us! and i'll definitely pass on your observations about leaving boxes in front of the filler stations!

[@firstone2917]

@@Citizen_Kate wow , reading back my comment makes me sound like a proper winger ! that was not my intention , I am LOVING the Reclaimer and it's imperfections 😁

[@Omega_ZeuS531]

I'm really glad the Rail didn't fall through the planet when you checked on the cargo in NB 😂

[@Citizen_Kate]

haha can you imagine? all the gear + now millions of credits in cargo :D

[@chiefusnoldsalt]

I think its a specific bug for hangar 11 at Area18. Can't completely confirm, but have seen many comments in Spectrum on it.

[@KotDT]

Another awesome video! I love the gameplay and informative dialogue! Please never stop!

[@Praetoreon]

Seeing you do ERTs with a Reclaimer just reinforces my love of the Ares Inferno.

[@marqushio2752]

I loved seeing you flying against that Redeemer. I was nervous with you!

[@ericfeatherstone776]

I had the same problem with A-18 hangars. First reclaimer fell to the core. 1 insurance claim later, and I had TWO Reclaimers falling to the planet core!!!!

[@RedKing1337]

18:09 that’s an awesome sight haha

[@zeroxception]

The cruise continues... Only soloution for that jumptown roof bug seems to be preventative airlock loading. Leave a clear path on the side with the airlock controls. I have also felt the pain of being stuck in the roof so many times.

[@Ooittee]

totally seeing the Alien reference. Said it outloud seconds before you did. LOVE IT

[@Citizen_Kate]

haha yeah being on Calliope especially at night it was really reminiscent of LV426 :D

[@jaknazryth2488]

"Is that an A2 or C2... anyone know".... 1 second later... Boom!. Perfect timing! :) BTW.... the Ballista seems to be working again. Shot down 3 ships with it from that island. Great idea setting up gear boxes on the cargo grid! You keep saying that you are a bad pilot... but that was one hellagood dogfight... with a Reclaimer! Taking out a redeemer, 2 carracks, and a Herc... that was awesome! Also Katie, you are the absolute BEST content creator in Star Citizen. To hell with all the haters. Keep up the great work, and looking forward to more videos in 2024! Happy New Year! :)

I had it in Orison. But dang a few days?! Crud... at that point i would just heck it and claim it. At this point we can always re-buy most of the things lost in such a situation.

[@harbringerf9416]

I hope you had fun despite the bugs... as usual Kate great commentary and editing.

[@chrisp.2544]

I've had that Reclaimer falling through the map bug at A18 too. Very annoying, especially when it's loaded with gear. One other game breaking bug with the Reclaimer - sometimes the box production devices get locked up and won't spit out any more boxes. Nothing I did could fix that including bed logging and stowing/spawning. Had to claim the Reclaimer in the end.

[@ericcrichardson]

Thanks for the video and Happy Holidays to you and all

[@bradwiggins2332]

I wouldn't want to have done these adventures on Calliope myself... but I'm happy to watch someone else go on adventure in that scenery!

[@Citizen_Kate]

yeah i dont trust my piloting enough to feel comfortable doing that kind of thing on calliope either even though i do love it as an environment :D when it comes to flying give me a nice sunny clear sky over Microtech haha :D

[@operationorigami]

The other day a friend of mine sent me enough auec to buy a reclaimer, and ever since I've made 20 million running it solo. The reclaimer is such an amazing ship

[@Lucpol1986]

Doesn’t it take much longer when running solo? Operationally that is?

[@harrykerr900]

Great production 👏

[@o_fingers_o]

face huggers ... that was a nice lil zinger.

[@cobaltblue1975]

Happy New Year Katie!

[@jerrysimington6673]

There is an IC report on the reclaimer falling to the center of planets when retrieved. I reported it but it still needs a couple of contributions to get it over the threshold.

[@Stolens87]

I love this so much! It is sad that the bugs are nasty but at least the 30k wasn't bad. Would be a special experience if we could keep the Reunion Rail away from stations by some helpful hands of the discord server. Like, transferring cargo/salvage from the Reunion Rail to transport ships which sell the stuff and receive fuel/supplies/picos by other ships. That would also reduce the falling through the planet chance ;-)

[@jerrysimington6673]

There is an IC report on the JT airlock putting you into the ceiling when you step on a tall stack of bundles. It would be nice to get a few more contributions to that in order to get the issue addressed.

[@kangasama]

Thanks for all the wonderful videos! Suggestion/Question - Could you use the flares to mark the storage boxes? Red for armor, yellow for food etc? Not sure how long they stay on. but maybe?

[@Citizen_Kate]

that is a great idea! I too have no idea how long they last but it is definitely something i want to find out now and will be sure to look much more interesting as well!

[@borealisaurora]

MORE! Always more. Life Aboard really speaks to the gameplay I am really looking forward to. Should rename the Aspire Grand to Hotel California heh.

[@luke5g230]

Great episode cannot wait for the next one 😃

[@sirtaron]

I lost my ship and everything I had on it when I crashed to desktop while landing at the space port at new Babbage. So frustrating.

[@Kamikatzef1]

Love the series ❤❤

[@GUnit2214]

Why do you set up armor and weapon boxes in the ship? Wouldn't it be more easier and efficient for each and everyone to just set up some gear in the ship's inventory? I guess it's for roleplay reasons in your case but still wondering if there is more to it.

[@Citizen_Kate]

sure its a reasonable question :) back when we did life aboard the corsair we'd have random extra people jumping in and out of the crew quite often and so having a box they can just go to for gear is really helpful in case they dont have say a railgun or a sniper rifle etc. on the corsair though there was a lot of external storage to make use of like drawers and stuff. the reclaimer is an older ship though without more modern features like external storage yet

[@GUnit2214]

​@@Citizen_KateAh i see, makes sense if you're having guests then and you need to gear them up and not drag stuff and throw it on the floor. I run a Reclaimer too, my crew just stores stuff in the ship's inventory. They said it's quite limited as opposed to what i can store but they seem to be having enough space to store enough gear they use when chugging along with me. Of course they can't see/access what i store and I can't see what they store. So it's sort of like a private inventory and we were surprised to see it persist for them as well. I also use cargo boxes on my ship but mostly to loot stuff from missions 😊. Anyway thanks for the answer!

[@akinsamuel2007]

Remember Kate, John Hurt's helmet didn't save him from face-huggers so if you're going to visit the planet wearing nothing but a fashionable hairdo you may at least expect the five finger embrace. They even provide a perfectly lit mess hall for you to show off your latest acquisition!

[@trekie82]

That's some serious cash! Can't wait to get my reclaimer.

[@misterspiff7288]

There is a limit of 100 objects on board. If you exceed that, objects start disappearing. So it's better to pull materials out as 16 SCU boxes (the largest size possible).

[@jimmy5322hk]

Love to see more jumptown.

[@ryanskare6670]

I'm currently soloing my Reclaimer and looking for a crew. I would love to join up sometime or even spend some time on your crew. I'm in game as Mudguppy. Really enjoying you channel, keep it up.

[@WillTheFifth]

The ship wasn't gone, you gotta give it like a day for it to be returned to the shipyard - with all your stuff on board. But the second you file a claim, you won't get your stuff back.

[@AcheliusDecimus]

The fact it fell through the planet resets all that effort. Bummer!!

[@LuckyForr]

Workaround for getting stuck at JT: I managed to throw a frag grenade close enough to cause a force reaction but not kill my character, which freed me from the ceiling and pushed me outside. Was alone when I got stuck and expected the worst, but realized I had looted some grenades while inside the facility. This was at the same Hurston JT location. Hopefully it gets patched and this won't need a workaround.

[@NozomuYume]

When I lose a ship like that, I just don't claim it and eventually the server it's on will 30k and the ship gets returned to wherever I am. At least this used to work. If I need that type of ship I can always buy a second one (at least in the current paradigm where money is plentiful and ships are cheap).

[@Citizen_Kate]

that is really smart, though i imagine it can take some time right? but yeah that is preferable to losing the ship to a bug like this for sure!

[@saltygravy6928]

Thank you for the great videos. I have a question. I have the Reclaimer stored with a full buffer of material. When I go to unload the buffer both machines are stuck displaying "Filling the container" message but nothing comes out of the machines. Do you have any ideas on a work around. Thanks for your help.

[@R1PPA-C]

Not sure if got lucky or not but yesterday I popped a carrack with my cat after realising the cargo couldn't be pulled from it and all the Cargo was there still, but there was still some cargo stuck in the ship that I couldn't get out

[@VdRckr]

good to see you useing a pistol. i find that not manny people tend to use them in theses kind of games

[@forjo]

So was the looted cargo not worth much? Didn't see you guys go to TDD.. Great video as always!

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

Maybe have crew outside the ship utilize the chem lights on their armor to make them more visible to the crew inside the ship, especially the pilot, so that the crew are less likely to get hit by the ship when moving the ship.

[@RobertP-zk8vh]

i one time logged and there was an npc just standing there looking at me kneeling down lol

[@IrisCorven]

They really need to offer a "Transfer" option, with a fee if needed, that allows you to transport lost or bugged ships back to a hangar with their internal inventories (not cargo). They push so hard for the "Persistent Universe" aspect of things, but trying to live out of your ship is financial suicide - the amount of bugs that can just yoink you from your ship, stick it in the ground, etc? You're at danger of losing anything you put on it if someone coughs the wrong way.

[@thegamingtribunal]

Dammmmm, I've been experiencing this falling reclaimer at orison also with hangar 14,.... So annoying

[@bar10dr]

Of all the ships the Reclaimer really needs a snub

[@ericfeatherstone776]

It's got a place where one could be fit, too! That long rail underneath the Salvage Storage, aft of the cargo elevator, would be an ideal place. Insert a small room underneath the Salvage Storage room for Snub Access! Perhaps in the future, the Reclaimer might be able to fit Combat Drones for just such a purpose. Ideally, though, what it REALLY needs is 4 additional remote turret stations.

[@chiefusnoldsalt]

The shared 3 turrets per remote station is absolutely horrible. Trying to jump between to the three different turrets with one station is very difficult. They should have made the two salvage stations be able to operate at least two of the turrets (Starboard Salvage; Starboard Front/Aft Turrets, and Port Salvage; Port Front/Aft Turrets), and let the two current remote turret stations operate the top and bottom turrets.@@ericfeatherstone776

Carrack bounties are a menace... they seem to always try to ram me more than any other npc ships.

[@seanc6754]

I was playing last night and the inventory/pes was not working well at all

[@kobodera8261]

To me there are two things that CIG should fix ASAP... 1. Group bedlogging... 2. Related to 1. If someone else have their ship inside your ship you should still be able to bedlog. Before these things are fixed, what we really have are single player ships with temporary guests, not actual multi crew expedition style.

[@lekochi]

This happened to me 3 times and once with the 890 at area 18! Now I won’t use area 18 any more

I even loaded one of the huge cargo boxes from the salvaging missions in a C2 stood it on end on the lift. When the lift started going up I tractor beamed it to provide stability and make sure it didn't freak out. The fun part was putting it in the cargo hold

[@evictor99]

CIG: we can balance the reclaimer by making it impossible to fly in atmo. Backers: so we can claim it at a station? Right????

[@graphite7473]

Jumptown used to be the most lucrative thing you could do.. it is now in desperate need of a rebalance to the rewards. It just can't compete with the new gameloops for profit/effort/danger. The only reason to do it is for some combined arms PVP, but basically as a lonely eccentric hobby since the payout really doesn't inspire very many players to make the often slow trip out, knowing full well that there's still the chance to lose whatever you bring with you, and not much chance of actually getting rich, despite a grindy, protracted box herding job. So now the most likely player to find there is ONLY looking to fight, meanwhile the actual mission feels cheap.

[@Dr.Kryptanical]

Rather than add a system to get rid of the trash automatically they should make it a credit payed job i've been cleaning baijini station's trash and putting them in the bins and trying to return all the medical gowns to the hospital storage which seems to be a separate local storage to the main station one... I do it cause I want to just cause persistence is there doesn't mean players should leave trash everywhere, sure somewhere like grimhex it makes sense but wouldn't a18, loreville and babbage all have cleanup crews... so I was think what if you could take a timed mission where every 10 bottles or items you pick up and throw in the trash gives you like 1000 aUEC, and make it so the trash only gets wiped in the bins which makes more sense than them disappearing everywhere! and lastly put bins in the hangars at near the entrance elevator panel! if people didn't have to go all the way to the lobby to throw away trash they wouldn't just be dropping them in the hangars all the time, hopefully trash build up will be less of a performance issue when they finally implement server meshing down the line i've a feeling they'll incrementally start dividing locations from the rest of the verse allowing them to be testbeds like they did with DX11,12 and eventually vulkan they had some places in one version and other places in another, so I've a feeling they'll do it gradual like they did with that say for instance "pun intended" if they made jumptown a meshed server tied to the main one but still separate, it's my suggestion since jumptown is always busy and it would test the limits and performance of the new tech... alternatively wherever they hold the next IAE event could be instanced onto a meshed server you can still walk into it see people and objects seemlessly but if it was busy like it was at babbage this year it wouldn't effect the whole verse with client crashes and 30ks just for flying in the same atmosphere I crash like 13 times the first day I had to give up and wait till the next day then I explored IAE got my new syulen out and got the hell out of there loreville was no better if not worse in some places and unlike babbage you couldn't take your helmet off, so I went to arc corp and decided on baijini station up in orbit would be my home since that had a far more stable framerate! So having the IAE maybe be an early test of server meshing would be a good idea since that event strains the servers the most! anyways I think trashcans eventually deleting trash would be a good solution for now and adding a mission to do that pays per piece and have the system treat it like a delivered package could work too, you could also make it so the mission marks all trash on whatever location your at, an while garbage collecting might not sound fun to everyone theres those of us with OCD or autism that can't stand the mess and end up cleaning it anyways so we might as well be getting payed for it now I can't speak for how many of us they're are but adding a payment to it would certainly encourage more people to clean up the mess even if they didn't make it! I mean they fixed ship wrecks causing lag the same way by adding a scavenging occupation, why try to make an overly complicated system that wipes things and ends up clearing peoples stuff the moment they dock when you can just have cleaning crews, you could make the same job to clean the station be a job occupation for ships too where you hire people to come and clean up any garbage laying around your ship when you reach a station, or a job to go down to an outpost and clean the mess players have made at busy locations. it's cool to see persistent trash but also to know if there isn't trash an actual player in the verse cleaned it up not some magic imaginary clean-up crew that can make your ship's storage boxes disappear the moment you dock! an alternate fix which will happen anyway even if they didn't add a janitorial job would be the fact they're planning that when server meshing is fully out that your ship's inside will be a seperate instance from the ship hangar so the wipe shouldn't affect ship items by then, but that's then not now so I still think for now a janitorial job would be better, it's a quick and easy low level mission that anyone can do it doesn't pay too much but you don't even need to leave the station to do it since the station or city your in has trash right there! alternatively allow the hull scraping multitool mod to have a trash cleaning mode that turns trash you disintegrate into a recycled material you can sell at the stations which might be better than adding a mission since it wouldn't be as much work!
