Reclaimer Salvage CLAW - Multicrew salvage on the updated Reclaimer - Star Citizen 3.22 PTU

Thinking of starting Star Citizen? use referral code STAR-VHQJ-MGVL to get an extra 5000 credits in game :)
So the reclaimer also saw some bug changes and upgrades in the current PTU. and we were setting out to test it in action with a day of salvaging

God damn...you never realize how much the little things matter. The new hair REALLY brought this game back to the modern age for me. Glad the reclaimer finally got it's claw and the massive buffer it deserved. Salvaging is truly going to be one of the best loops now. 🙏

[@Citizen_Kate]

i know right? i wasn't expecting it to make such a difference but it really does!

[@undeadpeak]

Yeah and cig just nuked it’s buffer capacity

@@Citizen_Kate If you think it's good now. Just try and imagine what it will be like once CIG brings the drones in game.

[@EvidensInsania]

This change definitely makes the reclaimer feel more like a top tier profession ship.

[@jjdavis420]

it's almost a requirement now for any ERT bounties in atmo or with a ERT Carack. I am excited to see this in action!

[@cmdrls212]

the new hair is the star of the patch. such overlooked feature but makes a huge difference.

[@Citizen_Kate]

yeah it definitely gives the characters in game a much more realistic appearance - even the npcs have the new styles too and its so cool seeing them walking around :D

[@four8998]

I first discovered this game a little over a year ago now and the reclaimer was the ship that made me fall in love with SC so seeing all the work being put into salvaging and the reclaimer recently makes me so goddamn happy. I'm still yet to build a PC and play for the 1st time but I've bought my game package and am so keen to play!!!

[@bradenwoods1111]

I started playing with a ryzen 2400g 4 core cpu and 16gb ram with a rx580 8gb gpu. You can start with something pre built for like 1200. Its worth it in the long run, good luck!

[@ruodyukimura1428]

i have a i5 9400f, 16gb ram and a rtx 2070 super and i can't play it, it bugs everytime and run slow, any idea why?@@bradenwoods1111

[@mastertrader8144]

I play on a 5 year old pc, Intel 8700k, 32 gb ram and swapped out the 1080ti for a Radeon 6900xt last year. It runs 4k now playable Maybe you can get something similar second hand

[@timteeling7348]

Once again love the content and the banter. As you mentioned crashing a ship I was in my Reclaimer and I had a lot goods to sell but ran into an invisible asteroid and blew up. All that time spent and goods lost what a PITA.

[@Citizen_Kate]

haha yeah when the next caterpillar video comes out you can see my handiwork in the asteroids too :D I tihnk it happens to all of us, but the invisible ones are the worst for sure!

[@alexturnbackthearmy1907]

@@Citizen_Kate That is some space engineers stuff right there. What can be more fun, then invisible and absolutely unmovable rock?

[@7K7Y7L7E7]

I am pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this format of video! Felt more like a docu-series than anything else! Great job!

[@HawkesGaming]

The first thing I thought when I saw the changes was.. Munch away, convert to boxes, much away again to fill the buffer then go sell basically two times in one sell trip.

[@Citizen_Kate]

yeah you can totally fill the ship then fill the buffer and sell all in one go! gonna make a huge difference for both ships but especially the vulture i reckon - giving maybe 40ish capacity to the vulture now will make solo salvage really viable :) also great to hear from you Hawkes! its been a while :)

[@KyleBlagg]

The reclaimer still deserves a lot of love.

[@fosslovechunk2080]

It blows my mind how impatient people are being about the claw. It's literally an unfinished place holder. The fact they added functionality is amazing. They now have a base they can work on and build up from, while giving the player base a working tool to help address the issue of the gazillions of wrecks and abandoned ships strewn around the verse and adding to the salvage play loop. As always, very GG to Kate 'n' crew for the great content. Loving the PTU experiment vids showing the can and can'ts of the upcoming content.

[@ChintamaniHelekar]

0:55 probably the most realistic walking movement I've seen in a game

[@drfreeze76]

Hopefully they’ll add in some good mechanics to make the munching more than point and click. 😃

[@ThrobbGoblin]

Yup. It's a good, functional start (in spite of what SaltE is spamming constantly), It just needs some more ideas injected into the gameplay loop.

[@Johnny_Kanuk]

The chaos in that hold was amazing. Everytime you said The Claw, all I could picture and hear is those little alien dudes in Toy Story. HA

[@jean-sebastienpedron6365]

I love how you tell stories with each video :-) I have a really fun time following your adventures! And I get new ideas of things to try in the PU/PTU.

[@ParanoidCarrot]

I have Reclaimer of my own and after like week of thinking and researching i finally named it, and i christened it as Honest Mistake its also pink so suits me perfectly

[@Joe0161]

My pink reclaimer is called Bob.

[@lostinspace_gaming1733]

I bought one from the impound today and dubbed it USS Compensating lol

[@mastertrader8144]

How do you get a pink reclaimer I don't see any paints for it?

[@bigbar4be]

Thank-you for the video and the summary of the Reclaimer updates. I can wait to test the new salvage functions.

[@jamespahl3832]

Very well made video. I am planning on buying the vulture tonight to start my salvaging journey. Cheers!

[@alanhouk1427]

I do beleieve you can sell at scrap yards/breaker yards like Orinth on Hurston- thats where ive been going. lotta pirates hang around there though, so make sure to check the roof and look around inside before approaching the terminal

[@stormfire962imastarcitizen5]

Citizen Kate thank you for doing this video and I love the whole thing since the Reclaimer is one of my favorite ships and I am looking forward to making use of it now. Also, I love the way you stacked everything in the cargo area. As for the claw goes I agree with you that CIG is just using this version right now until they find time to make it as it was intended to be on the concept art that they provided years ago to us. I also suspect that CIG might allow us to use different versions of the claw mount with different attachments in the near future. Furthermore, we mustn't forget that the drones still need to be activated in the ship as well and one day we will see those in operation as well. Thank you for doing this video and again it was an amazing one to watch and thank you for making it. God bless to you and your entire family and keep up the good work you are doing

[@SoupcanYT]

Oh this will be fun watching, I knew a video like this would come out sooner or later! :D

[@alexdresden6776]

The reclaimer is sooo rustic and beefy. Just love your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@operationorigami8962]

I absolutely LOVE how the reclaimer filler stations were pumped up. It really makes it fit into it's role of heavy salvage better. I adore that the bigger stations allow different sizes of boxes. If it didn't cost so much, I would 100% buy myself a reclaimer and run it solo

[@brainlesskiwi2482]

the reclaimer is by far my most favorite ship in terms of looks, usefullness, and inside the ship, cant wait to be able to see the next upload!

[@cinnamonrage]

Great content as always!

[@ncryptr9834]

Glad the reclaimer finally received more love, well overdue. The new hair tech looks awesome too!

[@AlfaPT]

I dont know why i love this videos. Im not a salvage kinda player. Keep the good work!

[@wookiehopper]

I love that fracturing looks like little twinkling metal shavings- naming my reclaimer "YOUR CITY LIES IN DUST MY FRIEND" was more appropriate than I realized

[@centurioromanus1912]

They definitely need to do some work with the cargo grid. Make it so it's only available for the scrap the ship puts out, because there is so much empty space that is so hard to use without a grid

[@thespectator2976]

Oh my, cant wait to take my reclaimer for a spin when 3.22 releases. tons of stuff happening now. Looking forward to spend aloooot of time on salvaging ;)

[@XzadforSpacefox]

So satisfying. I've had the game a year now and need to find a friend to teach me.

[@priority6885]

Would love to see an easier way for those big boxes to be moved to the cargo hold, or maybe the salvage hold given an actual purpose!

[@9000256]

there is a gap in the back you can drop the boxes down one level.

[@KyrainMcLeod]

@@9000256 question is, is that gap big enough for the 16scu containers?

[@Josh_Wolly]

@@KyrainMcLeod while i dont have the ship the gap to the cargo hold doesnt look like it fit for the 16 scu. unless cig make it big enough. if i had a full buffer i would try a 8 scu either the gap or the elavator. either it fit or i go size smaller and fill the cargo hold then 16 scu the procceser hold

[@finigraphics]

The 16 scu boxes do fit down the whole. And I was questioning if they were going to realize that there is another level for the salvage boxes

[@LMarshall73]

It would be nice if they magnetized the cargo grid in the lower hold.

[@Sypheara]

the new hair makes such a difference on the characters

[@Citizen_Kate]

yeah it really makes them look much more realistic - didnt tihnk it would make as much of a difference as it did!

[@Valrokius]

23:51 Nice to see that star citizen lets you hotbox in your ship now, truly a next gen game.

[@Shaiyo5]

Love the update. However, other than the cargo grid fixes, what that Salvage Room really needs is an internal tractor beam on the ceiling controlled by a single control panel on the upper floor. The same panel could be used to operate the salvage compressor stations as well. Centralizing the control for heavy lifting, while having someone on the floor itself for fine tuning, would do wonders.

[@Citizen_Kate]

that is a really great idea! love the idea of a station (have you seen the engineer station in the hammerhead or Carrack? ) that overlooks the slavage deck and has a tractor beam and master controls. good thinking ;)

[@Shaiyo5]

@@Citizen_Kate Oh yeah, the engineering gameplay loop is the development I'm most interested in. I can't wait to see it in action.

[@Uboo]

Best part of video is the claw, cant wait to use one.

[@CB-io8oi]

Another great vid Kate. Overall good to see salvage progressing, but yes that munching thing needs some more interaction and visual stimulation other than the magical fairy dust that gets vacuumed lol. Knowing its place holder gameplay I'm sure CiG will take on board the "feedback" they get and improve it as it has the potential to be one of the most popular gameplay loops. I personally loving the bounties that you can now go loot for cargo and even free weapon upgrades! I can see that with your own hangers coming that salvage will be the great first step after a wipe. Go out in a salvage ship to get income and components/weapons for ships! I mean we are even finding npc bodies around wrecked ships, who needs shops! NPC ship/loot farming will be the way.

[@cinnamonrage]

Loved that you didn’t wear a helmet so we could see the cool new hair. It looked great.

[@NoblePathwaysHQ]

Salvage is great again. Early in dev, but SUPER promising! I have yet to test it in atmo. Seems like there are no ships abandoned at bunkers lately.

[@pegasusbs6237]

Wow that hair looks amazing, once all the visual updates are in, everything is going to look sooo well together

[@luke5g230]

Great video and I cannot wait for the rework of the reclaimer the cargo hold and cargo deck desperately need more height to stack up the boxes better. Love that they made it so you can make 16scu boxes to that’s so good!

[@MrDEMarq]

Nicely done video 📹

[@OneTwoMark]

26:20 That’s an actual use for that floor finally.

[@Mallachi]

🌹 Love the content Kate! I didn't read it in the comments but did you know there's a cargo drop Shute at the back of the salvage processing room so you can have someone down stairs in salvage cargo collecting the boxes you drop down from the salvage processing room 🌹

[@Sarsour_]

Awesome content!

[@WigganNuG]

Really cool new mechanics and toys, but somehow I keep remember that flowing HAIR!!! Crazy how I thought it just wouldn't even make a difference once you're running around playing, but you REALLY notice it! Love the new changes to Salvage.. just need to get the PU a little less plagued with crazy bugs.. lotta people getting shat out of their ship when they jump to QT these days lmao.

[@rustyhook84gaming56]

there is a cargo hold as well for more space, the biggest that will snap to the grid there though is 8scu, the grids down there are 5x5 and 3 high

[@storyarc9835]

Looks fun!

[@TheOtherSlideYT]

Now it doesn't just look cool, now it does cool things too 😆 I know a lot of people have been waiting for this day. Wasn't the reclaimer a ship that was added somewhat early on too?

[@da7thguest]

Soo many fixes and new stuff, can't wait for the next patch to hit live :D

[@mcosta6423]

Right?! Just can't wait as well!!!!!!

[@Citizen_Kate]

me too! I think the Reclaimer is now at a point where it can really be that rue Multicrew experience :) there are a few niggling bugs and obviously it doesn't have all of the modern comforts of something like the Corsair - but in terms of things to do its there!

[@LMarshall73]

I've been doing the General salvage instead of Risky. You can pick up a C2/M2 salvage claim for 50k. I have consistently recovered 2-5 scu of gold and 1-5 scu of Quant from each ship, along with 60+ scu of scrap and up to 128 scu of processed food. Of course, I have to leave the 32 SCU containers behind since they won't fit on the Reclaimer's elevator. I typically get around 50 scu of RCM from each Hercules. I may swap out one of the tractor beams for an Abrade to get a better yield off of the hulls, but the construction materials may balance that cost.

[@ParanoidCarrot]

Reclaimer is one of thous ships that require a total overhaul of the interiors, internal pathing and cargo area plus cargo doors.

[@DamonCzanik]

Love the hair. I'm glad we got a full salvageoop even if it's T0. It will help clear the PU of stuff the server needs to keep track of.. They said they're waiting on maelstrom so ship munching is a placeholder.

[@mastertrader8144]

Next thing should be a land based salvager I saw 5 abandoned ships at a bunker yesterday That would be awesome

[@TheElephantChumpkin]

Think I saw Kate's character yesterday in game didn't even think about it. Hanging out in orison at the space port

[@smokeclouds8]

So cool to be able to make credits in these ways

[@woonsenskullhighplayer7479]

salvaging will be very cool in a future patch!🙂

[@Kyle-sr6jm]

Reclaimer getting an update is really nice to see.

[@satanresurrectedgaming7765]

Just hope they allow it to dock at some point soon, Love the reclaimer. I hope they didn't mess up the elevator in the control room lol

[@Kamikatze108]

The longer I look at the ships arm, the more it grows on me

[@red_orange2971]

If they are going to go with particle route for munching, they need to make it so that all particles get sucked in, not just 10% of them. Sound is really cool tho.

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

The new version of the claw reminds me of one of those snakes that can unhinge their so that they can swallow something much too big.

[@fairq6063]

The reclaimer sounds like a fun ship

[@dracoflame8780]

very cool. I hope they improve the animations for hull absorption in the future but the concept looks good so far

[@PaladinStem]

Ooo the claw 😳

[@Citizen_Kate]

it is fun to use even though it isnt the final fully featured implementation :) its really nice to see it actually usable for the first time :)

[@BreandanOCiarrai]

Somewhere, an OSHA inspector spontaneously combusted watching the cargo portion of this video 🤣

[@WaysToDie73]

Construction material will probably become more in demand when base building goes live. Along with mining and manufacturing processing stuff.

[@hujiaming6151]

Well Kate's look reminds me of the witch from Diablo 1, witch Adria.

[@ITHYANDEL]

You need to dump the boxes through the chute to the cargo bay below. Or the elevator, but that's slower.

[@KriLL325783]

Really cool for the claw to finally have functionality, even if it's not the final version, anyone looked to see if there is some visual effect inside the reclaimer's grinder when munching happens?

[@dragoon2175]

I love there finally showing my fav ship love but my biggest question did they finally fix the docking collar so I can land and claim at stations ;.;

[@XellithUS]

Thinking about it, I'm not sure they would make assets for the claw for the beam if they intended to change it. But stranger things have happened.

[@MikePhilbin1966]

So, it's not called The Claw any more, it's called The Beam. :)

[@solegs100]

I like the claw as it is, I would like them to change the cargo grid to stack more but I am also guessing that we need base building in before the demand changes for selling materials. It’s a great step forward. I enjoy your content perspective…

[@Capum5]

As much as I absolutely love the buffer for salvage, even nerfed, the hair might be my favorite bit of the update now that I've seen more of it.

[@didoyudoit]

The claws extending animation is pretty great, though I do really hope the like thanos snapping hull fragments is very much a temp thing and they end up going for something a bit more physical and satisfying.

[@LMarshall73]

CIG has indicated it is a placeholder until the Maelstrom damage engine is implemented. They wanted to roll out the change even though it is a temporary fix.

[@coina-dig-tion6322]

have you found a good use for the small elevator at the end of the processing level; the one with the big arrow on it I think? It lowers a small platform a small distance. I'd heard it was to help load the Reclaimer with cargo in some applications. It's on the opposite end of the larger elevator.

[@Nemethon]

I'm curious to see whether and how the effects of dissolving the ships will change over the next year. I think this will be revised as soon as they find time.

[@NikolaiManning]

Do the 16SCU boxes fit on the cargo elevator? could they be moved down to the cargo level?

[@lukedavis4253]

How do you get the upgraded filler stations and how’d you get the claw working

[@Acklend]

Emm one question here after seeing injuries can the 16 scu boxes go out the back through that hatch door?

[@RavingNut]

I think they are making is easier at the moment, as I don't think you could fit the crew needed for both engineering and operations on the Reclaimer in the future.

[@AbangSyaft]

They're updating the feature again. This time reduced the buffer to 140scu. As well as a longer time to operate the claw.

[@Swatmat]

amazing!

[@SpaceMike3]

The inside of the material ejection area looks like it had a go at being a tumble dryer

[@Renier0613]

Love the new buffer.

[@TomPrickVixen]

Its good to see older ships getting "reimagined" , I hope the devs have some similar plans for ships like the Starfarer, or the MOLE, and some minor redesigns on OK ships with a few annoying defects (like the rear turret still blocking the cargo-bay on the Freelancer). Also, does this means that the SRV is worth getting?

[@Recsy]

kate with new hair is something, love it. show that hair movement girl.

[@Citizen_Kate]

haha we need to go test it in the wind :D see if it gets in your face or anything :D

[@kaollachan]

wow that is impressiv !! i have some question for kate ( or any other that could answer them) : does the claw "power" work on ship that aren t dead/ softdead? does it do DMG to a working ship too? does the desintegration kill player when in front of it ( or here it was because of the conni breaking down?). also i was impressed that reclaimer didn t explode from inside with how those big box were tossed around XD

Does anyone know where to actually sell the construction material I cant seem to find it?

[@andyandreson3989]

I feel the Reclaimer should transform into the Spaceballs ship “maid” and Hoover up the dust from disintegration.

[@harbringerf9416]

[@carodar34]

u guys know u have a cargo bay below to fit some more stuf in?

[@HT-Blindleader]

If the smaller boxes seem stable on the elevator....you don't have enough boxes on the elevator.🤣 Keeping with the "star" theme...we've taken to calling it "Star Dust" when the ship turns into dust.

[@raider762]

Is that 360 buffer for the whole ship or each side?

[@sharpestkatana7444]

We violated many OSHA regulations in this one

[@lostinspace_gaming1733]

I bought a reclaimer from the impound and trying to study and learn before I take it out. So let me see if I understand correctly....you use the salvage beams / seats to collect RMC....and then you use the CLAW to collect construction materials? If you use the CLAW before salvaging RMC...you only collect construction materials? And you no longer have to fill up SCU containers and then move them out of the way? The hopper will store the materials until its full then you can go to them and set which size you want? Sorry for all the questions
