My biggest wish is that you can pre-load 1-2 empty hover pallets in the rear that each hold 4-8scu. While out, you can load the RMC directly onto those pallets, and once back, just slide the entire pallet back out of the ship for quicker unloading.

[@speedogomer]

maybe allowing the Vulture to do 2 SCU boxes would give a little relief, cutting down the box moving by 50% would make life easier.

@@destroyer140 *Refer to my original reply.* There is no place for the 2SCU box to go once it gets pushed out. It will overflow into the cargo grid since the box grid is located ADJACENT to the cargo grid. You would have to elongate the vulture by 1SCU length to produce a 2SCU box.

[@noleftturn5964]

I'm using the Raft and 12 boxes bought from cargo Deck, at 8scu each. They cost 16k per box, but makes it easy. Do 3 Vulture trips (with at least 32 scu on board) and unload into warehouse. Move an empty 8scu box onto elevator from warehouse, double click to open it and drag 8 RMC boxes into it. Fill them all this way - do not multi-select the RMC boxes - they won't load in. Bring them up on elevator, and use the maxlift tool to throw them onto the Raft. Takes two mins. Go to city hangar for selling and reverse the process to make sure they don't take your 8scu boxes away. Put them back on Raft and skedaddle with a fat wallet.

[@ThomasHessDK]

Oh, this sounds nice. Did not think that was possible. Will have to try that myself. They hinted at "grid boxes" which could have 1 SCU boxes attached together to a larger box. That is basically what you are doing. :D

[@CharlesDSmith-mv7zi]

Another excellent video! Thank you. I use the Vulture exclusively for salvage, although I have never salvaged panels, and haven’t been able to find any in this patch (probably because salvaging with a Reclaimer is so lucrative). I was thinking as you started the video, that it would be very nice if we had the options to select 1, 2, 3, or 4 SCU boxes with the Vulture as they do with the Reclaimer. That way, the user could create larger boxes of RMC, but still have the option to fill smaller boxes to “fill in the holes.” Unfortunately, I usually sell at Area 18, and haven’t been able to sell anything from the ship’s cargo grid (endless processing) or from the A18 inventory (all it shows are the Ranta Dung and other organic I’ve looted from boxes over the years. I would advise everyone to try once at A18, and then go somewhere else if you can’t sell at A18.. This was with refined ore that I subsequently loaded back on the ship and sold at New Babbage.

[@PrimeDesercrator]

I still go straight to Lorville to sell rmc is this patch (i think 39scu is the max a vulture can carry) but now by manually unloading everything in the cargo bay + hopper at Teasa spaceport, I only have to go and sell it once which is nice (i don't have to go back and unload the hopper and sell that the second time like in 3.23). Hopefully that made sense lol

[@SwissMonkey9]

to save time : 1) park closer 2) use better tractor beam (either rifle or ATLS), 3) do not care about sorting things on the lift, it doesn't matter. For selling, purchase yourself 8 SCU Stor*ALL boxes and store 8 small boxes into one :) (I presume you have a cargo ship that can handle 8 SCU boxes

[@Stasis223]

Glad someone mentioned this because I was wondering if this was possible. Do you just move the 1scu boxes onto the larger box in station inventory?

[@MichaelLeonard]

@@Stasis223yes, put all boxes down the freight elevator then load the 1SCU boxes into the 8SCU boxes from your personal inventory kiosk. You can also load them directly from the freight elevator UI but that has been unreliable for me when moving equipment around so I wouldn't trust my RMC to that method.

[@Zanbatoss]

The 8 scu box trick doesnt work for me, it says obstructed lift

[@teccotoys]

I did this salavaging thing and the most efficient way is to salvage at a Lagrange Point close to and directly fly your crates to a port where you can sell them, i.e. Orison and CRU-L1, then fly back to slavaging, and when you're tired of it, finally sell them all. Unloading the crates, storing them, then loading them to a transport ship, flying to a sales port, unloading them again, takes at least an hour longer compared to just simply transporting your crate directly to a sales port after salvaging, because you have to tediously unload the crates one by one, then loading them onto a freighter, again one by one, then unloading them again. It's just an insane waste of time.

[@Abby280z]

I’m thinking about getting a Vulture, how much do you normally earn doing it this way? BTW I recognized your name and I love your guys figures, I had purchased some a long time ago and they were one of the coolest things to print :)

[@PavelKahun]

I wish they would add 2 changes to the Vulture. 1) The ability to vent out the hopper, so you can get rid off the annoying 0.1 scu construction material that you have left over from last session and it's making it's reducing your money making ability by some 5% per trip. 2) having the possibility of swapping the 1 scu box press for 4 scu box press at the price of lower cargo capacity. With friends, we like to use 3 Vultures and one cargo ship and load the RMC to the cargo ship directly. Using the Vultures effectively as printers only. 3 Vultures salvage RMC 3x faster than fully crewed Reclaimer (2 salvage heads per vulture, operated by a single person vs 2 heads per reclaimer operated by 2 people ). Just the 1 scu boxes are the bane of our existence. 4 scu boxes would make this far more enjoyable. Absolutely honestly, I would prefer Vulture with no cargo, but big hopper and big press, ejecting the boxes out of the ship. Paired with Cuttlas, Corsair or caterpillar would be awesome, showing synergy between the designs of Drake, especially with the tractor beams of cutty and caterpillar.

Thanks for another great video Farrister. I always salvage at the Lagrange stations but I never thought of just dropping it at the closest station and returning to salvage right away which is an awesome idea since I'm now using my Vulture as the game is too unstable to use my Reclaimer. I lost a big load on a 30K on my Reclaimer so lesson learned. I'm going to be using my MSR for hauling as it's not as inconvenient as my C2 (696 SCU but too high), C1 (easier to load but not enough cargo 64 SCU) but my MSR has 114 SCU which makes it perfect for the 2 hour run you just did.

Great video farrister as usual - exactly my thoughts re tedium of lumping around hundreds of boxes - on the one hand i like the realistic behaviour but what we need is either the ability to 'convert' 1scu boxes into bigger boxes once they have been stored at the facility - so now you might have 3 x32 boxes or auto loading for an extra fee and time cost - this is think is coming and will make all the difference - edit - should have watched your whole vid before adding my comment re box combining :)

[@Venhili]

Ideally we should just get 32 scu containers that open up and act like cargo grids, that way you can load up your 1scu crates up directly into the unit with your tractor beams or ATLS

[@HeatherMason-fi1qr]

even if we could use the multitool to "weld" boxes to eachother maybe up to 4x with a stronger tracktor beam or something that would help a ton

[@Venhili]

@@HeatherMason-fi1qr I still think the answer for that is physical 32 scu crates with cargo grids inside them, that follows the rest of the design philosophy and lets you put multiple containers into one larger and easier to manage container

[@shortForPychael]

@@HeatherMason-fi1qrthis is actually the most elegant solution I’ve seen so far! The boxes are already sized in powers of 2, and if you limited it to 2 boxes of the same size next to each other on a grid, you wouldn’t even need to care about physics, just swap the models!

[@Rainbow233]

You can load the RMC into an 8 SCU Box. You can buy the 8 SCU box at any Cargo Station. Once u have RMC + 8 Scu box, simple go to your Fright Elevator, go to terminal, move the 8 SCU box on the Elevator, double Click the Box to open it, drag and drop the RMC into it (when its fixed you use just mark 8 boxes and use button move all), when ur done filling the 8 SCU box, simple click on the left top the little upwards Arrow to go back to "main" menu and keep repeating this, when ur done just lift the Cargo up, store boxes into your ship and done. Edit: when u want to sell, you have to reverse it, put all out of the 8scu box and thats it.

[@imperatorz7062]

Once you put the 8 SCU box down, do you have to put them on the left side before open and fill them ?

[@maximilianooltra8614]

[@novalis791]

Farrister, thanks for being a quality content creator. 🤠

[@TroyMackay]

I think it's pretty sweet. To avoid double handling (extra risk losing everything to a crash/bug) I just offload at the destination and take off again. No need to sell straight away, which is great. It's only a slightly longer QT jump and atmosphere. Multiple opportunities to log-off mid loop for short play sessions. Used to be able to get 40SCU with the ejector backed up, but the RMC boxes seem extra explodey lately so I don't push it! In the past I managed to get RMC into my station inventory (kind of an edge case, dying near a station) but it didn't carry over after a patch, for what it's worth.

[@TroyMackay]

Called it - stored RMC gone after patch. Only lost a couple of loads...

[@calpin_dk]

Great video! I'm actually fine with the Vulture creating 1 SCU boxes because I consider the Vulture as an entry level salavage ship. What we need is a medium salvage ship, so there's something to fill the gap between the Vulture and Reclaimer. A medium sized salvage ship should be able to make larger SCU sized boxes but not as large as the Reclaimer. Any ship that creates or produces boxes should have a built in tractor beam as standard which should be way more effective than any handheld tractor beam. Lastly, I think CIG overdid the changes on the handheld tractor beams regarding which are now too sluggish to use.

[@stevenflaton2693]

Firstly, I love your salvaging videos you put out. Have been a huge fan of your channel and how you portray everything! So, with salvage, I did about 5 tests with time and aUEC with both the vulture and the reclaimer. One thing I’ll mention firstly, is I’m still undecided how I want to go about it, I LOVE being able to go to multiple stations, and store the rmc through multiple play throughs and pick up with a hauling ship, but the process of either moving 1 scu boxes or using the 8scu boxes shuffling around is very tedious. I went around with my Hercules and picked up all the rmc from 3 play throughs, in about 4 hours including loading and unloading and selling, with the vulture I had 135scu totaling about 1.8 million. With the reclaimer, I spent about 4 hours salvaging and unloading, collected 310 scu, and unloading at my home location once I finished, sold for 4.4 million and unloaded about 19 boxes (two 16scu down the elevator at a time) Although it’s significantly less time consuming to do the reclaimer, and way more profitable, I do enjoy the vulture gameplay as well. I hope they do something to make that process a little easier.

[@tman41291]

For your reclaimer, what are you going after to collect so much? I just picked up thr vulture and love it but I go after panels and if a mission is in my area for something good I'll pick it up. However, I used my orgs reclaimer and felt like the panels were not worth the time of switching seats as solo (multi crew much better obviously but still panels dilemma)

That's not a Hull-A issue with the "Cargo Removal Failed", Last night I loaded refined ores directly from the refinery to my C1, flew to Orison and didn't unload them, tried to sell them off the C1 Cargo Grid, and got the same error. If you uncheck the "Cargo Auto Load" check box, it will "mark" the items as sold, but you won't get paid until you unload them at the freight elevator either way.

[@herbaceousboredom9584]

If you have the space, park your Vulture at 90 degrees to the freight elevator rather than 180. You can then keep your eye on both the Vulture's and the elevator's space and contents, you only have to turn a little bit, and you don't have to move, if you stand in the right place. Speedier and more efficient...

I have a Tobii too, you can still press G to enable gimbals, and then Z to enter freelook, after which you can move your gimbals with your mouse. Other than that, I've spent a good amount of time doing the same, but loading up a C1 to the gills. Manually loading about 90 scu worth of salvage took a bit more than 10 minutes though. Only when I was fully loaded up, I remembered that you can actually repack the 1SCU boxes into 8scu Stor-all boxes. They're a bit more tedious to move around with the MaxLift (or TruHold...), but with the C1's TB it's not too bad. The ATLS seems like a solution to a problem created only weeks before it, it doesn't sit right with me and will be buying this when it's available in game. That said, I don't think the ATLS is going to make unloading a Vulture or loading a C1 that much faster since the boxes are fairly small and the quantities aren't large enough to storing your ship at outposts, claiming the ATLS, retrieving the ATLS and parking it off the elevator, then retrieving your ship, and only then starting to (un)load. Seems like a lot of extra effort and time spent to potentially save half a minute in total. Different story with 32SCU boxes and a C2 obviously.

I really enjoy the new cargo gameplay loop. I don’t need to make millions of aUEC per hour to have fun in SC and besides that I still can make about 500-600k aUEC an hour with salvage if I take it slow. That’s still about 1.2-1.6 Million per day and I really enjoy it.

[@Ospray3151]

You can always buy a bunch of 4 or 8 scu 'Storall' cargo container from a cargo deck, then put smaller scu containers inside it, makes for easier handling Though you need to unload them again of course before you can sell You can also use the storall container to hold hauling mission 1-2 scu boxes, just put the storall into the same local warehouse via the cargo lift, then open then in the cargo lift terminal and drag mission boxes in and out of them

[@Ospray3151]

though in the latest few PTU this is, of course broken :/

[@Keithslawinski]

Would be nice if you could do this and NOT have to unload them back into 1 scu containers. If nothing else, it would be nice if you could fit 4-8scu low profile hover pallets in the back safely. Then load the RMC directly onto the pallets while salvaging and wheel them right into the hanger when done. Either would be nice so long as the game can see the the RMC without unloading it.

[@CMDR_Raspewtin]

We really need a small refactor of the ship to support 2 SCU containers. Make the delivery area 2 SCU wide, move the hopper control panel to a different location and do a quick refactor of the hopper mechanism!

[@RobotSanction]

You can potentially collect 39scu per run if you stack boxes correctly. And pressing G to gimbal your weapons during scraping is very convenient.

[@mech9116]

You can store the rmc in a cargo ship, I use a c2 and bypass putting it into any hanger and find a place where you can sell from the grid,but you will pay for the unload and time. I my opinion if you have a full c2 its worth the extra time and cost to not have to move 800 plus boxes at least two additional times.

[@schakTheNerd]

I've doing almost exactly the same thing. I don't mind slinging boxes, though. Only difference is I've been using the Maxlift and an MSR. The extra range on the Maxlift is kind of a godsend. Park a little closer and then you don't need to do all that running around. I've done the auto unload thing a few times and have never seen that failure message. Pinning that on the Hull-A seems logical.

[@418_im_a_teapot]

I've always been doing the similar process, but back when we didn't have cargo elevators, I would call my freelancer/connie, load it up, store it, and go salvage some more RMC. This patch makes this process a bit easier, considering now the ATLS is buyable for aUEC

[@Farrister]

Yup!

[@droid9893]

I actually appreciate the change of storing cargo into a nearby station. Before, I was salvaging using a vulture, and a C2 with a Pisces in the back, salvaging and storing my cargo in the C2, then returning to my city and using the Pisces as my shuttle to collect my C2 that I would sell in. This is easier, although it doesn't give as much of a rush as playing it that way. Besides, this way allows player's who don't have a cargo ship, to use a rented cargo ship to do the cargo transfer and selling when necessary. Also, selling directly from the Reclaimer did not work either. Unloading the Reclaimer with over 300 SCUs is also a serious task, since it can only hold 4-16 SCU crates at a time on the elevator.

[@novalis791]

[@cyborghunter5933]

Agree, the ATLS exosuit will be helpful for loading and unloading of cargo but it can't go with us on all ships...only the larger cargo haulers so I guess it would be a good idea to have a number of exosuits in various locations that can be spawned.

[@TemplarGuardian]

Looking forward to the day we can have the Vulture fit into another ships hangar, looking at you Polaris. Until then, buying the 8 SCU box at the cargo vendor at the station would save you a bit of tractoring by putting those 1 scu boxes into the 8 scu box.

I know this video is damn near 2 months old, BUT I just wanted to point out you can get 2 full buffers of boxes in the back (it's a bit of a Tetris game loop) giving you 39 boxes per trip. To handle that, I have 2 Vultures. I fill one up, drop it at the Lagrange station, fill up the other, then take it to the planet I'm going to sell it on. I unload it, then take a quick shuttle (Pisces or Mantis) back to get the other one, claim the first one, then take the 2nd one to the planet and unload it. I then sell, claim my shuttle ship if I need to, take the 2nd Vulture back out and do it all over again. That way I always have fresh Vultures, never have to unload/load multiple times, and can just keep going and going until I get tired or the servers collapse.

Since panels have half the amount of RMC on them, you need to spend more time finding panels.

Getting around 30 SCU of RMC takes some time, and it actually aligns pretty well with getting a small break after selling, drinking some cruz, and perhaps IRL small break too ;-) Offloading to space station multiple times, only to load it all back into a large cargo ship - yeah, that is REALLY tedious. Would be great if you could "repack" the cargo into larger units. That would change this loop greatly. Imagine putting down 1 SCU boxes, and then buying a "repack service" for a few 1000 aUEC, to get the boxes back in larger SCU boxes. That would be quite nice.

[@Integer_Overload]

I dont do usual salvage(i rip components and weapons when playing with friends but dont salvage myself) but the ability to store cargo is invaluable to me as a trader. I can go buy several loads of different cargos, bring them all to my sell location and sell all of it at once instead of endless train rides every load.

[@Farrister]

I read that as selling at a secret location xD

[@Integer_Overload]

@@Farrister maybe thats what i meant👀👀

[@irgendwie9510]

Hey Farrister i would love these type of video but with mining to show of how mining or better said the selling if refined ore works now with the freight elevators

[@Farrister]

Keep an eye out for the video on Friday!

[@batonemo6096]

Ground vehicle would be good. Also some sort of automated cargo derrick in cargo grids, so you could park your vehicle and the boxes are loaded onto your low-loader cargo... Skiff .. mule... Type thing. Handling boxes is just too much pain. Can you imagine unloaded a full c2? You'd need meal breaks

[@N1ghtR1der666]

if you can convert the boxes to 16 or 32 SCU when you pull them out then overall this will save time in less travel and train rides, landing etc

[@Farrister]

Would be a great change

[@AgianScratch]

using the raft more offen latley, parked reverse before the elevator using the bigger tractor gun, ITS easy to unload, standing under the ship on the far end to the elevator and got 96scu, Just a thought. Thx for ur videos anyway

[@hugeCB]

Wondering if you agree with something I said to my buddy last night: In 2954, we ought to be able to sell our cargo using the Mobiglass instead of having to physically go to a terminal. Love the Hull A's easy loading. I have a Freelancer MAX and do the same kind of thing. I used 12x 8scu and 8x 4scu containers to make the load/unload of the ship a bit easier, except then I have to reload and unload the empty boxes. Plus there is time taken loading and unloading the containers in the cargo elevator interface. Not sure it's faster in the end!

[@Spac3Rat]

Or sell them directly from the hangar, at least. But yeah, the Mobiglass would make sense. I mean... We can sell and purchase stuff using our phones nowadays.

[@Xeonzs]

Is the CIG website frozen for anyone else too? Like it will load, but as soon as I like click shop or my profile icon, nothing happens and firefox will say that the page is unresponsive, this seems to happen since they changed the interface (of the website). Regarding the video; if you store all the boxes at a station and later call them up cause you want to put them on your hauler and sell them, can you instead of 1SCU boxes make it 8/16/32SCU boxes? That would make the loading/unloading much more bearable.

[@JasonLucchesi-i8p]

I have the caterpillar loaded with rmc, but can't sell from it. When the rmc is in my hanger, it's not visible at the TDD terminal @ Orison. Just stock pilling them until this is fixed.

[@AccidentalFriendlyFire]

Another advantage of offloading cargo and immediately heading out again is that you can stock up to fill up a much bigger ship to sell in one trip instead of several. Time savings there.

[@scifrygaming]

I did a couple salvage sessions and stored the RMC. I had over 100 boxes when I went to sell and it took me forever to load it up and then unload it again at the sell location. It got really tediuos by the end of box moving. I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand I liked the ability to store the RMC and then go straight back out slavaging, but the box moving was kinda a drag.

[@Randaddy25]

I typically get 36 SCU per run. Depending on where you go, you're looking at 502K to 520-ishK.

[@mcolville]

We need to be able to snap these boxes to each other, and move them as one. Alas, my fear is: they are depending on the incredible tedium to slow everyone down, to lessen the load on their servers.

[@tespado]

giving us the ability to store the 1 scu boxes and then choose the size of the container to retrive will get load off the servers too, since less object are gonna spawn if we can consolidate all those 1 scu boxes into bigger containers.

[@essentialasa]

That's something I hope they'll give to the mule

[@pitan9445]

I like your suggestion to make cargo boxes combinable. I believe you can store cargo boxes in storage boxes, which *might* help with combining cargo. Maybe worth a small experiment?

[@TheMNWolf]

I went out to do some salvaging earlier today. I probably spent a half hour flying around CRU L1 and every single panel I found except for one had already been stripped clean. I gave up on panels and decided to try the legal salvage claims instead and it looks like they fixed the salvage speed on ships. I wasn't running a stopwatch but it seems like the RMC gain rate is the same as doing panels now.

[@throdwobblermangrove6200]

Sorry. I think I salvaged almost every panel at cru-l1

[@Spidder81]

I love salvaging in Vulture, its one of my fave game loops especially that per run can get 39 SCU boxes in the Vulture, but i really wish they would sort out the panels so they show up, instead of not showing up at all or appearing as you are about to crash into them. Also bring derelict ships back that you can just find like when it first released, but make the bigger ones rarer, also need more variety of panels, same 3 is boring :) also outpost armistice zones, cant tractor or salvage in them, and i see so many dead unowned ships. Its annoying not being able to salvage them.

[@ShadowOfMachines]

I might try my hand at being a troubadour sometime. Just hang out in a station with a tractor beam and offer to load/unload ships for some kinda fee. 5K or so maybe. Not much, just want to move the boxes around.

[@jerm22278]

I have a real good system with my friend. I fly out in my freelancer while he's scraping, load up everything from his cargo hold, go unload and sell, while he's filling up again. By the time I'm finished, he's finished, and I start over unloading his salvage. We make good money being efficient like that.

[@TKCPrime]

Also we should be able to alter the box sizes in the warehouse, so that we could convert smaller boxes to larger boxes.

[@SilentCtrl_]

I had the same problem trying to sell from the C1. Also lost 500k in RMC from the 3.24.1 patch.

[@nooneeyeno]

You have to handle the freight boxes 4 times. It would be nice if one could hire a "lumper" service before arriving at the hanger. An additional option perhaps when communicating with the ATC?. I could do that service for a fee. But it's too much like work. Just my thoughts.

[@AaronJohnson1969]

As a Space Trucker (and Industry player) The RAFT really is super easy and fast for load/unload. Hull A is OK but I find the RAFT quicker. Also did the Starfarer and it is ok BUT better if you take the external tanks off yet you get that almost 300 SCU in the Farer. But yes I have seen countless vids and people ya need to back up the BUTT of your ship toward the Cargo elevator makes it mucho easier/quicker. Yes the Auto Load/unload (pay extra) has not been enabled yet in SC. I get the error for the RAFT/HULL A/Starfarer/Reclaimer and always get the error fro salvage or normal cargo (you buy cargo with your own aUEC NOT missions).

[@rttakezo2000]

I have yet to have a successful "auto-unload", despite trying 3 different ships at 4 different locations. The only way selling has worked for me is putting them into my warehouse first. BTW 8SCU containers are definately the way to go to avoid moving so many 1 SCU crates. They have worked everytime for me.

[@archangel8172]

I seen you can load things into containers. Perhaps you can put those little boxes all inside a 32 SCU container and then it is easy loading onto the cargo ship. Also having an ATLS could be a big help to quickly offload the cargo. You can maybe instead of bringing 2 SCU of RMC carry one ATLS with you.

[@thecrowsnesthobbies8650]

You just had an add for the auec credits sales on your video may want to see if you can stop that so you don’t have dupers linked to your videos

[@WarlockSRB]

...you should first fill walkway, exit via rear ramp so you can fit 26SCU into cargo bay without a problem

[@FearThyWave]

Should be able to 'compress' the boxes. like make a total of 32 one scu boxes into a single would help in the long run. Haven't played the game in a minute but doesn't sound like it'd be hard to implement. Make it like an ATM; you put in 100 singles and can take out five 20's.

[@TheEVEInspiration]

They can simply introduce a repackage service on the station, costing just some creds and time.

[@unokepasaba]

I think a more efficient haul is salvaging at miners lament and selling in orison TDD.

[@sleepfishl]

I personally like to Salvage Panels in the Halo. Much safer than around stations. it just takes maybe 5 minutes longer to find panels.

[@zerentheunskilled]

My personal favourite spot for that is near Crusader. The halo is just a little bit before you reach CRU-L2 from Crusader. It's perfect since Orison is my home location.

[@essentialasa]

I just do Yela near the comm array

[@throdwobblermangrove6200]

@@zerentheunskilled thats a nice spot. I will try it.

[@krieg_kal4025]

never tried the Hull a but auto cell from a C-2 failed at area 18 but works in Orisin

[@kVidStream]

The pip will disappear at 85%. From there, you'll need to slowly progress forward until your signal reaches 94%. At 95%, the first of the panels will appear.

[@AlexWood-wz8pp]

Great video. (I just clicked on it)

[@davidhaught-rn1wg]

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong or not doing. I did some salvaging in my Vulture and unloaded it to my freight elevator, lowed the elevator and then checked the inventory panel to confirm it was stored. But, when I went to the TDD, it doesn’t show up to sell. What am I missing?

[@Farrister]

Did you select the city as the location? Only thing I can think is maybe the elevator didn't go down...

[@motorheadabega]

Cargo Removal Failed: I have this issue with MSR. I can still sell from ship inventory, but only if auto load is unchecked.

[@DontAskWhy868]

Hey Farrister, is you are in SCN GNS or SCN GUNS(cant remember exactly what its called) mode, the pannels will be highlighted alot sooner. Also, i had the same problem with the Constelation Taurus while trying to sell the RMC at NB. After unloading everything into the warehouse i had no problem selling.

[@sauriak8286]

You almost sold me the idea of buying a Hull B. But the bug you encountered is a hard no. I know that someday soon (tm) the bug will be squashed, and we know that it will come back again and again. So no Hull. Nonetheless, thanks for the always zen and enjoyable videos.

[@beachfury]

i like the idea of off loading our own boxes. However, we should be able to repackage it into bigger cargo boxes. So, if you have 32 scu of one scu boxs you should be able to repackage it into 1 32 scu box.

[@glennc1490]

I have heard about a larger tractor beam. Rifle sized. Would that make any difference in loading/unloading?

[@Grandude77]

This is giving early mining vibes. I guess that's why people are making so many UEC right now. That'll surely change. 1 thing in salvaging's favour is it will be player generated. I'd hope/expect random space debris to be largely removed but having a scrapper in a fleet to clean up after a battle would be profitable.
