The Reclaimer's Best-Kept Secret - How to Unload Cargo Fast

[@Calian-TV]

So, I've never had any issues unloading with this method, nor have some other people in the comments, BUT, some people have said doing this made their Reclaimer explode, so wanted to pin this here just to let everyone know. Personally, I'll keep using this method though, since I haven't had issues, and it's Star Citizen after all so looking at your ship wrong can make it explode too.

[@NeroSurvives]

The reclaimer needs a rework desperately

[@irontildeath]

Nah we are good

[@Eienlanzer]

No. No we're not good.

[@NORKIE]

they are i think, i hope they start realising that most ships need to be playable not just for looks.

[@Calian-TV]

It is definitely showing its age... and not just from all the dripping oil and dirt. I'm really hoping they get the Reclaimer drones working, that would be amazing

[@randlebrowne2048]

@@NORKIE The Reclaimer is actually among the oldest designs in the game. It was the first "capital" ship; and, was in the game for years before salvage mechanics were even added to the game. It's certain to eventually get a major rework at some point.

[@gambler1ish]

I don't think CIG ever considered anyone would ever have to actually unload the reclaimer lol

[@Calian-TV]

They did seem to miss that part lol

[@alphawolfgang173]

we have completely packed my buddies reclaimer to the ceiling. definitely needs some major overhauls.

[@manokela]

Great info sprinkled with just enough entertainment to keep me hooked till the end. Short format and amusing comentary kept it fun start to finish. Well done! You've earned my subscription sir!

[@Calian-TV]

Appreciate the feedback, and the subscription! Thank you!

[@zskillcode]

Many people don’t know that you can also auto unload, it saves so much time

[@Calian-TV]

I've had really bad luck with that actually working. Would happily store the ship and pay the fee to have them unload it, but every time I store the ship with the cargo in it and run all the way to sell, it doesn't show up. Hopefully they fix that soon

[@D4ngrs]

@@Calian-TV I've read that the terminals are just bugged. The "location" you select often isn't the real location. You gotta switch locations on the terminal until you find your ship as background. Haven't tested myself, but that's what I've read multiple times now.

[@Calian-TV]

Interesting, seems I'll be making another run to the terminal next time I'm salvaging to check this out. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@ucheeke5110]

@@Calian-TV dont bother, i've been doing all that and it never takes the cargo out. reclaimed needs major bug fixing

[@TheSonoris]

This is gold, don't own a reclaimer but this is better than someone just telling me how it's supposed to work "all plain like" Keep working with this character PLEASE

[@Calian-TV]

Thank you! I have other videos with Rusty planned, but also for some other characters as well if I'm doing guides on things other than salvaging (like bounty hunting)

[@randlebrowne2048]

@@Calian-TV I've seen another video where the guy just used the self-destruct while in the hangar. It apparently didn't destroy the salvage boxes. Like popping a massive pinata!

[@Calian-TV]

@randlebrowne2048 Yeah, I've seen that too. I just dislike the idea of blowing my ship up just to unload it... even if it's just a game, sits wrong with me. Plus, I like to see the wear the ships get if they survive a long time

[@ucheeke5110]

Thank you sir, this came in handy

[@Calian-TV]

Glad it helped!

[@filipbronola536]

Careful doing this. Make sure the crates are properly aligned and the ship is landed firmly. I've had the reclaimer explode twice due to the boxes coliding with the ship exiting through the rear hatch.

[@Calian-TV]

Appreciate the warning! I have never had issues, but it is Star Citizen, so nothing is ever guaranteed. Hopefully they fix the ability to just store the ship and sell from it without moving the boxes, so we don't have to deal with all of this

[@Crazy-Chicken-Media]

Is this in the current patch? Because they've disabled boxes damaging ships.

[@WithFriendsLikeTheseJerks]

You sir have earned my like and subscribe

[@Calian-TV]

Both are very appreciated!

[@Mr.Nosferocktu]

Found that it's the perfect size for 4scu's to mailslot through there. It takes a little longer, but no more stuck crates and you can diversify one of the fabs to do 16's for the cargo elevator.

[@SkyForceOne2]

the 16scu crates become unstuck once u move the ship anyway

[@Calian-TV]

Certainly is an option too, though I've used the 16 scu crates a bunch of times now with that hatch and never had issues with it. Looks scary but they push themselves out pretty consistently, and those that get stuck, closing the door solves that. I've seen someone else who just opened and closed the door a bunch of times to spit out everything in there too.

[@BaneSIlvermoon]

I've done this dozens of times with 16 scu Crates and it's never caused any issue at all. Just drop them all in, and then go close the exterior doors. Everything will be outside waiting for you.

[@staticmass6794]

Pro-tip use 4scu boxes. Super easy to get them out of the hatch

[@Calian-TV]

That does work, I just hate having to deal with so many more boxes vs the 16 scu ones, even if they're a bit more ungainly to use

[@ParityOnline]

Problem is, that you can't have more than a certain amount of boxes in your reclaimer. I don't know the exact number, but I think it's a bit over 100. So I just always never go above 100. If you do.... they disappear. And yes. I tried with smaller boxes. created like 200 boxes, only to find out that at unloading half of them disappeared.

[@Calian-TV]

@@ParityOnline Good to know! I try and empty my Reclaimer pretty regularly just to avoid losing everything to bugs/servers, but once the game/servers are more stable I'm sure hitting that limit might come up more often

Thank you! Appreciate you watching

[@thefullmetalgamr9887]

How.... How did I not know this..... thank you

[@Calian-TV]

They did their best to hide it, for sure! I didn't know about it for ages either

[@recaplrg3552]

That hatch should be seperate cargo elevator lol

[@Calian-TV]

That hatch should be just about anything but what it is currently lol

[@Funkiyy]

This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen. They just need to start overhauling all of the legacy ships and make them make sense to the direction of the game now. They failed with the star Lancer why anyone would use that for cargo is beyond me the back lift is too low and all your cargo always smashes on the roof and the middle section has a lip obstructing where its not easy to SNAP Boxes. If they do the Ironclad right, I think that's going to be the only cargo ship that makes sense with an open grid system. Also, freight elevators shouldn't have roofs and just be on the side of the wall exposed and to snap easier. Which was shown at citizen con building a star base.

[@Calian-TV]

A lot of ships need updating for sure, hopefully they'll start working on that soon

[@NORKIE]

i want the medium salvage ship YESTERDAY! edit: im glad they're doing a remodel of the reclaimed, its a horrid design and they need to stop making ships for looks over usability and interactivness. most ships in the game and not ever needed other than for show, same as all ground vehicles... yikes they're useless.

[@Calian-TV]

The game definitely needs a ship in between the tiny Vulture and the massive Reclaimer

[@Anarxur]

The reclaimer and starfarer were from the same era, and the starfarer is a better fps map than ship. They've come a LONG way in ship design from then

[@rezlar9895]

Yeah the sparks at 4:07 are not normal haha. They blew up my ship and I lost some packages 😂

[@Calian-TV]

Well shit, sorry to hear that! I've never had any issues, but as with most things in Star Citizen, you never can be certain you're safe

[@rezlar9895]

@ oh no wasn’t blaming you at all! It was hilarious haha. My friend quoted your video saying the sparks were normal and I said “hmmm okay” then BOOM

[@Calian-TV]

Still sorry that you got unlucky! I really haven't had any problems with it. Ironically though, another way to empty the Reclaimer is to just blow it up intentionally with self-destruct, if your crates aren't attached to the grid supposedly you keep them all, though I haven't tried it. I just don't like blowing up my Reclaimer, out of principle

[@rezlar9895]

@@Calian-TV reclaimer is such an awesome ship. Honestly if they just let us open the back section all the problems would go away!

Immersion.

hah, yep, in game and out!

[@TairnKA]

It would be nice if the tractor beam gun (multitool), rifle (heavy lift) had better control of containers, crates or boxes. ;-)

[@Calian-TV]

Yeah, it can definitely be awkward to control them sometimes! They recently added back a targeting reticle to the rifle tractor beam though, makes it a bit easier to see what you're going to tractor at least

You can pack 100 boxes inside the ship

[@Calian-TV]

Yeah, I think a Reclaimer can hold somewhere around 2k SCU if you start to shove boxes everywhere that they can possibly fit

Thank you! Definitely have more planned, have ideas for other characters to use for other guides that aren't salvaging as well

[@secondimpact7836]

That rear hatch is a nightmare. Don't waste your time and energy. Everything gets stuck.

[@Calian-TV]

It is, though there aren't a lot of better alternatives at the moment sadly. Hoping CIG updates the Reclaimer at some point, though for all her faults, I still love her

[@BaneSIlvermoon]

It doesn't cause any issues though. You can just drop all your 16 scu Crates down there, then go close the door when you're done, and every crate will be outside in the hanger waiting for you. Super fast when you get accustomed to moving the Crates back there without turning them

[@delarosa6254]
