Star Citizen | 4.0 Salvage Update (Still Easy AUEC)

[@aso6437]

Totally new to the game, which has been a nightmare for me since I started playing in October however at that point the game has been so so 3.24.3 no very good and then IAE came and it was impossible for me to even log into the game. So just now I feel like I am getting started, hauling right now, buy I really want to get into salvage. I'm old and retired and this seems relaxing. So I have to learn everything I can about the vulture. Any help would be great as I just turn 67.

[@MrSlvr2000]

@@aso6437 Salvage is extremely relaxing. I have a lot of salvage stuff on my channel for you to look through including tutorials. Not much has changed in regards to how and controls. After 4.0 stabilize I plan to re do a full tutorial on it.

[@protoni6996]

It's really simple to use. but it's best to watch tutorial for it. but it's really not that complicated. after watching few youtube video. you master it very easy. unfortunately i lose mine and i don't eat week if I'm going to upgrade my cutty to vulture so i just have to grind it back. i really like too how relaxing it is. and great way to earn more ships. but have to wait contract fix before i can start earn money. (haul doesn't work for me and prospector mining is so slow) 1,45mil missing and i got mine back

saving up for a vulture again. hammering out flight bounties like crazy

Absolutely!!! Grind it out. Hopefully it will be a couple years before a wipe.

Nice that they have slavageing fixed ish. And being avke to sell. I have a lot to sell and couldnt earlier. Hipe they bring back the verified salvage missions back.

[@galactichazzard8932]

They must have increased it a little bit in the last 4.0 patch because I was salvaging around Yela using the Abrade 3 days ago and I was getting 5.2 SCU for the big panel and 2.1 for the triangle ones. Originally we used to get 10.6 SCU for the big panels but they had nerfed it fown by 50%.. So now they increased the panels by a little bit but they lowered the price of the RMC... Typical CIGreed getting people to grind away for hours on end for small profits. And the missions were working 3 days ago and I did 2 Arrow and 1 Antares missions to get the REP and get the better illegal missions. But now, you also now have to find the salvage wrecks from about 10km as the yellow marker disappears and then you need to salvage the entire thing for the mission to be considered completed. Easy enough to find using the scanner. You pay between $1000 to $5000 FEE for the Arrow missions and salvaging the Arrow gave me 0.7 SCU of RMC and a few bread crumbs of CM. So lets just say that missions are not lucrative at all. I stick to panels. I melted my Reclaimer when they nerfed the pi$$ out of salvaging and decided to only keep my Vulture. The operating cost and the tediousness of having to get all those containers out of the Reclaimer to the hangar was just not worth it and extremely time consuming. Exactly what CIG wants. To lower the revenue/per hour so it takes a lot of time to be able to afford to buy ships in game. Lets also consider that they also increased the price of various ships from between 50% & 701% of in game ships (most of them except maybe 5 useless ones which remained identical and the C8R that was slightly lowered). Small examples, the M2 increased by 464%, the A2 by 701% and the C2 by 283%. It's all about the grind and they also mess with the "no demand" so sometimes you have to plant yourself next to a trade monitor and wait 15 to 30 minutes to sell due to the lack of demand. A few times I had to stay for about an hour and wait for server resets in order to sell the entire content of my Reclaimer. They control the economy and not in a good way. Thanks for the video.

So you could load the cargo and also the full buffer for around 26 SCU in one trip?

[@MrSlvr2000]

@@mrsmiley92 yeah you can cram them in

you can fit 2 full loads of 13scu in the cargo area and another 13 in in the internal storage. So you can take 39 back each run

Love the vid ,been grinding bunkers only got 600k to go until I get my own vulture .. I have a question though.. I see you range yourself about 40-50m away from the plate.. if you get closer do you get a higher scu return .. also what do you think the average return is per hour in 4.0 ?

[@MrSlvr2000]

@@timjeffrey764 You can cram about 3 full loads in the vulture including the buffer. If you get good....easily a 500-700k per hour of not more.....just guessing. Never timed it. Panels are VERY easy to find right now.

[@timjeffrey764]

@ thanks for the reply .. I was doing a lot of testing in eptu on salvaging with vulture and found I can only get 37scu in it, but was filling up and then taking to orison to sell (wasn’t that far away) but was taking about an hour so was only getting a return of about 400k per hour.. didn’t have my bud in eptu so didn’t have a hauler to hand .. so another question .. if I scrape , then transfer to his hauler .. then does that mean that it will be classed as stolen unless he puts to warehouse , recalls it up and I then send it down and sell it) when we have a decent amount ?? Sorry for all the questions , just love vulture and scraping .. can’t be a space marine all my life 😢👍

[@recgar]

The closer you get to the panel the quicker it will scrape but won't yield any more material - as for the rmc being classified as stolen or not that would be a good question. You can get 40 scu per run in the Vulture but it's more time consuming considering you need to move containers around. Just stick with the 37 which will be more efficient. Above all else, relax and enjoy

[@simplegamer1563]

Did CIG nerf the prices for rmc? In 3.24 i got around 12k UEC per SCU and now i only get around 8k :(

[@MrSlvr2000]

They did

[@momoxh]

hey i'm new to the game, i've been doing bunker missions over and over, kinda tired of it, wanted to try salvaging, so the net profit is whatever you get minus the rental fee if you are renting, right? is that still a good profit?

[@MrSlvr2000]

Salvage is good......not sure if you can rent a vulture but if you can yes it would profit well. You can also rent a hull A for cargo along with a roc for gem mining. All good choices.

[@ohyeah2816]

I have a Reclaimer, is it worth solo salvage?

[@MrSlvr2000]

Absolutely, I have one and solo it myself.

[@Djinnz]

would you say salvage is the best way to make money vs mining or cargo hauling?

[@MrSlvr2000]

It's definitely up there. Cargo hauling probably is on top currently and mining a close third. They have it balanced a little closer these days.

[@MichaelDBruce]

This patch, all the panels I've found have already been fully scraped.

@@MichaelDBruce Interesting....I've never had that happen before. Those usually despawn.

but the big question is can you unload lose cargo that is not on the grid? have a Reclaimer and it is very anoying to unload when i do big ships and it gives me more then 10 16scu boxes. Everytime i tried it gave me some busy error thing

So in my recent testing.......if it's not attached to a grid.....it's gone if it's not in your main hangar.

They aren't even close to good balance yet IMO, especially when salvage only produces two commodities.

You will get pirated salvaging and mining around lagrange points.

[@jonathanc2757]

Its pretty functional for me, but as a latest release needs tightening up, otherwise I love it

[@Solice07]

I completely disagree. I don’t think it comes anywhere near 3.18, I’ve been able to play since 4.0 dropped. Yes there are bugs, but I’ve been doing hauling and bounty contracts along with salvaging panels and claimed ships. Sometimes the contracts bug out, and when they do I switch to salvaging. QT is hit or miss, but with a little effort I can usually get to where I want to go. I guess people have different levels of expectations and patience but I’ve been having a great time in 4.0.
