Misfortune with the MISC Fortune? | Star Citizen 4.0 4K Gameplay

[@gamedevcarto]

at 27:35 I thought you were going to say "So, I've got nothing to lose so I'm going to go get my Vulture that is reliable" lol I gotta give it to ya, this video speaks to the rest of us who play this game on the norm. Def feel your pain. I had a prospector last week with over 30SCU in the bags of quant and like a fool, I stored the ship before I went to the refinery and the storing process "lost" the ship 🙃

[@bastiandoen2583]

as much as I love SC I am taking a break for this exact reason. Too many frustrations for me. Maybe next patch. But I love to see Farrister's videos, so I keep it present in my mind

[@herbaceousboredom9584]

I took the Fortune out for a test spin a couple of nights ago and bumped in to that 'filler station blocked' bug a couple of times, most especially after I'd finished stacking as much as I could internally - it seemed to block and unblock according to its own whims :D Better still was selling at Lorville whereupon I discovered that the warehouse crew had purloined 4 SCU of my lovingly scraped and boxed RMC, and that the new price for RMC is only 8.5k. I hung around a couple of days just in case the RMC re-appeared, but no - those scumbags had probably fenced them off and were sat in M&V's enjoying beer paid for by the sweat of my left trigger finger. On reflection, mitigations might include taking 1 or 2 containers off the grid so the buffer can empty in its entirety, or only eject on one side at a time.

[@jamesgale9722]

Prospector rework should really have just swapped out the Fortunes RMC grid to the bags and the salvage head for a mining one. The inert concept at the back of the prospector is dead as they have moved to mobile refineries. It would have not required a huge rework and the Prospector would have benefited massively from a cargo area to allow for carrying of spare swappable heads and containers holding modules and gadgets. My frustration with the tunnel vision they have,

[@Rhonys]

My favorite series! There's just something so peaceful watching! Funny how you reference that reddit thread lol

[@zman_o7]

Watching your video because I cannot play just getting endless loading screen 😂 I will keep a Vulture more my style but good video highlighting the misfortune o7 😎👍

[@drsteeeve6119]

Gimble Tip: I have a switch on my warthog hotas that can be flicked on (and holds on) have this set in Target to press g when flicked, and while on it holds on free look. I then swap to mouse for the scrapers, flick the switch back and back to joystick for flying.

[@johnweems4586]

The filler station reporting that it's blocked when it's not makes it seem more like the real world! 😂😂

[@CathrineMacNiel]

they need to update the UI to show the state of BOTH fillerstations.

[@Chris_DadA73]

That’s a pretty annoying bug. My ship is only ejecting 6 boxes on one side then the conveyor belt blocked message comes up.

[@Rain4est1337]

Anyone figure out a fix for this

[@smokeycaptain]

I love this ship. I've been dying for a vulture alternative. I'm not a big Drake fan and I'm ecstatic that it's misc too.

[@angelg888]

Thanks for sharing, Farrister. Quality of videos is better than quantity of videos. So there is no rush in making them. I think it is the overall patch; they say it is still full of bugs and some report many hard to play issues. The only issue with reporting the bugs to the Issue Council is that they take care of fixing the bug with priority if there are a sufficient number of players who report finding that same bug.

[@bizibetikko2725]

I experienced the "obstructed" bug for the first time last night. I tried all the things you tried except for bed logging but no joy either. I flew back to sell what I had and low and behold an extra box had printed on each side and I was able empty the buffer (crossing server boundary maybe?). Also if you turn on the auto eject before you head out you can salvage 27 SCU without leaving the seat.

[@quasistellar]

Every capital-sized industrial ship should have a med bed, IMO. Just the minimum rating is fine. Hopefully they add one to the Reclaimer some day--it's got lots of unused internal space as it is.

[@ohyeah2816]

Had three good salvage sorties with the Fortune running to the Halo via ARC-1 and back to Area 18. The fourth run after the Monday patch and the cargo messed up. Smaller salvage but I don’t do it for the credits. Bed logging is great! 🖖🏼

[@melsy2]

Same loop i do in the halo belt. Chill and relaxed

[@casademackie4031]

Thank you

[@InsaneActual]

my litteral first thought when i saw the trailer was "yeah, those automated fillers are gonna bug out".

[@KravityGECK]

What I'd like is a smaller, more affordable carrier ship with some cargo storage for this exact purpose. The Polaris does the trick... but cheaper options can't hurt.

[@Jackie-ms3tn]

I think that would be the Liberator but who knows when thats gonna be added to the game.

[@Gubers]

Ironclad?

[@TheGhostryder88]

I bought the IronChad and I plan on using it as my ultimate multipurpose base of operations. I got my loaner Fortune, it’s not bad. I think the Vulture is more thought out and usable.

[@James-yb6kj]

Love you videos mate, the patience required to place the game i fear will put alot of people off.

[@ytth439]

At the end I was talking to my computer, oh no, oh no, oh no. Oh man we’ve all been there

[@someguyfromquebec2302]

that box moving tech would be nice for the arrastra, supposed to have external cargo too.

[@robertmandl9326]

I really hope the Arrastra gets worked on and released rather sooner than later. Maybe it´s one of those unannounced ships they are working on? Although overall I really hope we get to see the first iteration of base building this year. With the Pioneer being among the ships planned to be released this year (Citizencon? IAE?) one can hope. Also looking forward to Invictus.

[@kairomithecreeper6346]

Hey guys, for those who don't know what the best thing about the Fortune is, I'll gladly share. So! It actually is the auto unload on the outside. Here's why. If you do legal salvage contracts like I do, you'll quickly realize that you can't use your multi-tool or Max Lift while near any Lagrange stations. Which means the Vulture can only hold 14 Scu before you have to go back to a hangar. The Fortune can have 25 SCU before having to return. I know the Salvage contracts aren't for everyone, but if you enjoy them, then you'll want to try out the Fortune. Happy Salvaging to all.

[@stephenmolinski6837]

I really swish the savage head on the fortune would articulate.

[@AndreasMadsen]

I really don't get why people think it's such a big problem to move those crates in the Vulture. Even talking about it being a 2 crew ship 😮. It takes a couple of minutes to clear the buffer and get back at it. But each to their own I guess 😊 Personally I'm not going to get a Fortune. I'm happy with my Vulture. One of my favourite ships. I like the Fortune too, but it's just a bit redundant for me. Nice video as always. Did you do an actual review of the Fortune? If so I've totally missed it

[@lord17c]

it's a cool looking ship, i'll give it a bit, perhaps try one at some point, but I still love my vulture

[@An_Onion]

I love my Fortune. Stuffing 45 scu of cargo into that sucker just makes me happy. Edit: One thing I have noticed is that the buffer meter on the Fortune is wrong. It seems that it actually holds 14 scu rather than 13.

[@klm2fm4]

It’s 13 plus one ready to eject on each side so TECHNICALLY 15

[@ignasbeleckas1057]

This ship is not intended to cramp up RMC. Instead salvage 12+(15) at CRU L3 for example and bring the boxes to the station. Park Fortune on the side of the hangar. Retrieve Hull A and swap boxes to it. Repeat till you have full Hull A go and sell all 64 at Crusader

[@obaniehia]

loving the fortune, not feeling the need to have a ...drake... ship in my hanger just makes one feel clean. also if they truly do go through and every ship manufacturer gets a ship of some type... then if they pop out an Anvil Salvage ship I'll be hoping on it... actually... a Valkyrie variant with 100+ SCU cargo grid and hopefully a buffer with 80+ would be sweet. yes had the same issue with the phantom blockers on first unload.

[@yarugatyger]

Yesterday I had a salvaging run with a friend, I in the Vulture and he in his Zeus, in roughly two hours we collected 100 SCU of RMC and I think for that time the Vulture with it's two salvaging heads is quicker, or more efficient. Yesterday we also salvaged some ships that drifted around and came to the conclusion they weren't worth it, picked an F8C clean of it's guns and missiles other than that we stuck to panels. If you're two people I think the Vulture is more efficient although my friend was whining that the external boxes on the Fortune are more convenient, I take efficiency over convenience any day.

[@yarugatyger]

We attempted a similar run a couple days back and we had the "filler station blocked" bug too, and the only current way of getting around that is to claim your ship again, storing/retreaving, logging off didn't work for us.

[@jimrussell4062]

It's slower but so much smoother and chill than the vulture. And yes, I was thinking of using the Polaris just like that as soon as I saw the Fortune because it fits two Prospector/Fortunes in the bay and they have nice external carriage so you can swap the cargo out and to the cargo grid easily.

[@jimrussell4062]

can you sell from the filler station like you used to be able to do from the vulture?

[@MakarioBTW]

this is my sign to play this game once more

[@loganderrick7449]

Me watching gameplay of exactly what I'll be doing in a few hours 😂 I'm a glutton.

[@Reece_805]

if you want you could always hit the auto eject before you start scraping and then you can srape 25 scu without leaving your seat. I love my fortune :) been able to get 41 scu crammed in with out too much difficulty!

[@obiincs]

I remember a similar bug with the vulture a few years back where you couldn't eject the crates so this is an old bug with a new ship

[@coldReactive]

2:59 - The exit atmosphere guidelines are back on some ships, I see. I think for me, I would rather take the Liberator with a ship like this rather than the Polaris. Since the Liberator doesn't exude "Hey, I might be carrying super important stuff" like the Polaris does.

[@Skyumi-Vk]

I kinda like this thing but I just like the vulture better. I like having to go into my ship and organize it because then I get to see the inside of my ship XD

[@Leptospirosi]

Bough one (CCU) because I feel depressed inside Drake ships, ecluding the Cat and the Bucc. I dont know what I will do with it at this time, but I imagine a Liberator with Fortune, Prospector, Med Ursa, ROCs and a Hull A will become my go to when I want to stay out of the way and autistically make some money.

[@DuckSidious]

At least you got out of your hangar....

[@reyork]

Hmm... still not sold on the Fortune, perhaps if it had two beams, like the Vulture. As a side note, it would be awesome (and more convenient) if the RMC box control panel was available as an MFD from the cockpit. I finally started using an ATLS and am sold on its convenience, especially with 1 SCU boxes. With the size of the Polaris, one should be stationed at all times, especially in cases like this. Sorry about that missing Fortune (literally)... hopefully CIG is aware of losing ships when you logout and login. There is definitely a lot for them to learn and clean up when it comes to Capital ships.

[@snaggletoof1927]

I don't know why I've been finding lots of Fortunes abandoned while out salvaging panels. Some have even had RMC boxes attached.

[@melsy2]

I can't wait until they fix saddle bags, both the Fortune and Prospector will be OP, the fit so snuggly

[@TimStrobel]

when you server hopped, was the fortune stored at nb? and did it have the rmc in the hopper still?

[@Rogerdevlaming]

Ty for the great vid again next time take a max lift with you that way you dont have to do so much eva! Keep up the good work :)

[@raidellcorps]

How would the ATLS fare in this set up? would it make the process of unloading the Fortune into the Polaris a little bit easier? Also, do the cameras in the hangar have an angle on the hangar's doors? Perhaps there is no need to walk all the way back to the hangar just to check if the doors close. XD

[@starcruizer24]

had the problem already 4 times. thinking about exchanging the ship to a vulture again...

[@briansterling5912]

They need to have a "bespoke" scraper head that only the fortune can use that competes with the double scrapers of the vulture. It's just not worth it to me.

[@Farrister]

I dunno, it feels like a fair trade off. Weaker salvage power but more convenient storage

[@MetalsirenIXI]

I've got 86scu of RMC atm. I can't seem to sell it at lorville as it never appears at the tdd

[@breezie336]

Why don't you use cargo elevators in the hanger to take the cargo down?? The 1s you used when you went to the medical bay.

[@Itspandz]

Why not use the like cargo elevator in the hangar to bring them down? 😊

[@garfield2406]

Well I waited 35 minutes to get into the game, stood up from my bed on the wrong side and feel thru my bed and floor ... oh CIG never change ...

[@jwsykes7628]

If nothing else, this helps me not feel so bad. I have tried to take mine out several times and have not made it back with a single $. I got one full, stored it and seconds later said i needed to claim it so lost that run too. so sad.

[@Tainted-Soul]

I think you have just added a lot to the sale of the Fortune LOL I think I'll stick tot he Vulture that way I log off and on in that ship . stopping it vanishing .... I hope lol

[@mitchellm1645]

i miss my vulture 😭

[@huntermay8322]

i own a reclaimer but this makes me want to get a polaris just to use my vulture. What do you think is preferable. Forutune or the vulture?

[@bclt64]

The light bar above the MFDs is annoying. I hope they fix it soon.

[@SuperFailzocker]

I feel kinda mixed about the Fortune. I mean, it's a great ship but as someone who already owns a Vulture (and is very happy with it), I personally see no benefit it the Fortune. Sure, you don't have to move boxes around (unless you want to put your boxes on that 4 SCu grid on the cargo elevator (or want to place the boxes somewhere else inside the ship) and you have a slightly higher SCU capacity but the Vulture as many advantages as well, for example 2 scraping heads...... Also I think the Vulture looks nicer. And another reason why its unlikely for me to get a fortune (at least anytime soon): My game package is tied to the Vulture). Tbh, I would have preferred a medium size salvage ship around the size of an ARGO MOLE for 3-4 people instead of another 1 person salvager..... And a Reclaimer sized mining ship in the future but that is what the Arrastra and the Orion are most likely going to be.

[@reamoinmcdonachadh9519]

Would the Polaris have disappeared IF you had logged out on the bed of the Fortune?? In any case, you were a victim of "That's Star Citizen, Baby!!"

[@corditeshade]

I was having the same issue with the hopper the other day. The game is such a mess atm. Im having to persuade myself to go and play it.

[@warren3174]

😂 I'm embarrassed for them

[@Gubers]

If you enjoy it, that’s great. But man, this about as inefficient as it gets. I’d have 36scu sold at the station in Pyro in the time it took to get the 12+13 onto the Polaris (even if it worked as intended). Not only is the Fortune painfully slow, but moving the cargo twice is another layer of poor use of time. Not to shit on you here lol. Just telling it how it is. Also just a tip to speed the scraping process up a bit. Try to avoid scraping the edges with the center of the beam right on the edge of the material like in this video. If you do that, you are nearly doubling the time it takes to scrape material because half your beam if doing nothing. Try to keep as much RMC material under the whole beam spot as you can. It isn’t possible all the time, but you will heat up the material in bigger chunks and collect much more much faster than methodically sweeping the edges. Though, that can be a bit more satisfying. And LOL. Peak Star Citizen right here. Like, literally. This is how cool it is and how broken it is. You can put your smaller ship in your higher ship and go do things! Aaaaaaand it’s gone.. But no worries, give it another 12 years or so and it should work.

[@lspons]

I understand that the initial idea was to stay in that location for several game sessions until the Polaris was full to save on trips...

[@ViniciusConsorte]

Just want my Liberator to be done to work on something like this..... Dont know why that ship isnt being worked on, no magical tech not ingame, just cargo grid, vehicle bay and landing pads.... So sad that new concepts are pushed into production after money was given for older products.

[@jeremylozier7339]

I wonder what would have happened if you had logged out in the bed on the Fortune instead of the Polaris.

[@CitizenGVN]

I assume you can't get the Vulture in the Polaris then?

[@user-bh6hi6cr5h]

You can get the Vulture in the Polaris hangar bay, but it’s harder. You have to finagle the arms under the over hang in the hangar but it makes it harder for open the cargo bay of the Vulture. Or you can try and land the opposite way to unload the cargo of the Vulture. Since the Fortune is shorter than the Vulture, it can land easier into the Polaris hanger bay. Plus, with the external cargo, it is also easier to unload the Fortune and get the cargo down to the Polaris cargo bay.

[@LeoBarton]

Best decision I ever made was staying the hell away from New Laggage under any circumstances.

[@thermothrock]

You could salvage the polaris. So no need to search panels.would interest me if repairing the polaris is more expansive than selling the RMC.

[@TheNorthHawk]

This patch is broken beyond belief. I'm missing half of my non alpha UEC ships, NPCs at ruin station shoot me on sight * inside* the Armistice zone, and i can't fight back.

[@dingdong89275]

U can shoot them back lmfao, stop being a baby

[@Maglouk]

I wish I bought a prospector instead, Think mining would be more fun for me

[@lmartin9111]

1.30 mn for one scu ???? vulture is 34 sec

[@juanecheyt]

The ship can carry significantly more than the vulture if you know how to do things. you can place 24 scus into the ship, 12 outside and 13 in the tank..... that makes 49 scu of RMC, 10 more than the vulture....... "It makes less than the vulture An Hour"..... those "an hour" tales ( make 5 millions an hour with the vulture, etc) are just Mental jerking off..... What you make "an hour" depends on an incredible ammout of factors.... all those youtube videos claiming you can make i dont know how many millions an hour would be true IF ABSOLUTELY everything goes alright.... and my experience is that even in heron belt, you can be 15 minutes looking for a single pannels signal, (even more sometimes).... an amazing ammount of mining signals, but none work for salvaging.... 2000 multipliers are very rare nowadays, so.... if you lost 30 minutes only looking for pannels, tere goes your "PER HOUR" nonsense. and this is only one of the factors.... 30Ks, Server errors, Fkn idiots trying to kill you, bugs that freeze your character when you try to EVA, well..... many things can delay the operation. (and ussually do). I care about how much money i make FOR RUN..... no matter how much you last, at the end of the mission how much money you can make when you sell the result of your work. yes, you may last longer working, but at the end, you sell significantly more than at the end of a Vulture mission. and That`s why i love this ship.

[@CalabiYau-s7f]

If you're new don't buy star citizen, it's a griefers paradise that's void of content and buggy as hell......

[@alandab]

This is why I stopped playing.
