You asked for Armor insurance, so here it is. Star Citizen 3.19

[@Cplcash87]

Okay so many of you asked can you do this with Armor and at the time, there was no knowledge of being able to do this till now, so I have made this video for you guys that wanted to know the answer to that question. Now I understand that there will be some negativity as well as positives to this, Is it a bug or something that could potentially be brought in, either way It is cool but I also understand both sides of the coin. Hope you guys enjoy the video.

[@Bloke_LP]

UPDATE!! My below method no longer works on armor. I found another way to. It's definitely not intended as it's a bug I do believe, but it works. If you buy armor from the website, you can melt it and repurchase it and it will give you another set as well as your old set. Definitely not intended I don't think but it does work. However, the new armor will always be put in your local inventory on your home location. I've been going to do a video on it but have not gotten around to it yet.

[@RazgrizRaptor]

that's really awesome! does it work on backpacks too?

[@Bloke_LP]

I've only tested it on backpacks, guns, armor and paint skins. The paints if you have it equipped to your ship and melt it, it will still be on your ship when you return. For example, I brought the paint pack for the cutlassthat has 4 skins in it. I equipped one to my cutty black and one to my cutty red. When I returned to game after melting the paints that were equipped to both cutty's were still equipped and the other two were gone.

[@JuanBrolo]

Hey I was wrong. It does work and you can copy any armor piece doesn't matter what the other guy said. There's just a different way it has to be done

[@JuanBrolo]

Go to a mining facility after following your steps to copy the armor to the mule.. Then everytime you claim the ship at a mining facility it has the armor on it. I've been doing the hurston elite gold and black set and the bear horror helmets

CIG fixes things like this that benefits the players fairly quickly. Everything else, takes months for them to resolve, if ever.

[@Cplcash87]

You’d think that to be the case but they didn’t get rid of the guns being bought from the ships gun racks as it’s been in the game a while, all they did was change it from being practically free to get weapons to charging you for it in the repair option which is strange.

[@castlewhale4746]

@@Cplcash87 It might seem strange at first, because I would agree; however upon thinking about it some more, I think CIG realized how useful the feature is and decided to keep it around / somewhat balance it as a stop gap until we get some form of online shopping/delivery/real player 2 player delivery missions and a real economy in game. I mean think about it, how else would large scale shipping logistics work if there was no way to place remote commodity and cargo orders to be delivered to your location. It simply doesn't make sense for all hauling/shipping to be done by freelancers who have just decided they're going to be moving X good from point A to point B today, otherwise important and crucial but non profitable commodities would never get moved in sufficient quantities to support entire stations, cities, planets, systems even. We even KNOW we are eventually getting hauling/trading missions around the time of the Hull-C. So I think CIG has realized that even though this weapon rack re-stocking was likely an unintended feature, it is incredibly useful and a lot of players are enjoying it, they have decided to keep it around for now as evidenced by their adding a cost to it rather than outright removing it before they can add the permanent feature that would otherwise serve its' same purpose of allowing you to acquire weapons directly to your ship without having to run to the store to buy them.

[@richardpatton6691]

@@tiltg3 Yeah?? What's the point of looting and wearing cool armor if whenever you wear it, you run the risk of losing to a collision with an invisible asteroid? As it stands, there's no reason to ever use anything besides the default flight suit and maybe the greycat armor, cuz they're the only equipment you can get easily. A massive part of sandbox MMOs is player expression, and the current system actively discourages that.

[@tiltg3]

@Richard Patton part of the game at this stage. Same as losing a cat full of beryl to a 30k. Same as rl, in a cartian sense. Anyway. I don't see this lasting long, it's straight duping.

@@tiltg3 Yeah, it's gonna get patched out. Though you can also lose your armor and such through "legitimate" means, like someone else looting your corpse or your corpse just being unrecoverable because it exploded or whatever, and that's what they need to address. There should also be cargo insurance for the same reason. It's just not fun to lose everything like that and then have to spend tons of time recovering from it, regardless of why you lost it. There's a reason full-loot MMOs never see the same sort of success as more forgiving titles.

[@RokkHunter]

They have to figure out what they are going to do about pledged armor. Made the mistake of using and losing quite a bit in the last while. With all the bugs/glitches. To some the armor we wear is part of the role play in the game eg. when mining I like to throw on the appropriate type of armor with the big backpack or when delivering, salvage a different set makes more sense. Losing pledged stuff forever isn't right and a legit (not a workaround) system should be so much better.

[@Randaddy25]

A year later and they STILL act like it's okay that you can just keep playing without the shit you paid real money for. This has left me not willing to support them in the future at all. I almost want to refund the entire game. It's ridiculous to not have a recovery option for real money purchases.

[@EggyBuilds]

Hi. MasterEggy here. Thanks for making this video. I wanted to make one but my channel isn’t for video game. I’m surprised that repair worked for you. I couldn’t get that to work on mine, and I had to claim instead. Maybe because the armor I added had attachments like magazines and multitool. That being said the attached items seems to persist as well although bit buggy.

[@Cplcash87]

Thanks for discovering this, after the gun the gun rack vid I thought I’d follow up with this because lots of people asked in that vid whether you could do it with armor.

[@animusnocturnus7131]

Ah. I was curious about if this would work with claiming as well. Thanks for the reply mate.

[@vertexrikers]

Hey Eggy, cudos for the discovery! I've tested a few armor pieces - among them the Aves Talon armor set that i looted from a random corpse. That one seems to be a flair item tho and i didn't get a repair quote to rebuy it. So my guess is the armor your tested was some special flair thing or bugged. The Snarling Vanduul Helmet and Hill Horror Mask for example don't show up on the repair quote either. The Hill Horror Reborn Mask however works on repair, which i find weird - but i got them all on the last halloween event, so i don't know if the ~Reborn one might be some default pledge thing while the others are flair..? Not sure, all i can say is that there are several items that are excluded from the repair.

[@mrlaird]

as you said...it doesn't seem as intended. although have to admit, it's really interesting how people come up with stuff like this. since the armor is still paid for, I don't think CIG will be so quick to patch it.

I just tried this about five times. I followed the steps exactly as you say. When I spawn the mule, the armor is there and I take it out and throw it into local.

As a last resort, I tried to store the mule and retrieve it but that didn’t work either :( I am using armor from the SUBSCRIBER Store not the REGULAR Store, so maybe that has something to do with it not working? If you have any tips or ideas I would appreciate it :)

As you have to actually pay for these items and it is limited as to what vehicles or ships you can do this with, I don't see it as game breaking, as nothing is better than items you can get in game. The extra time you put into setting up is akin to setting up an Amazoon delivery box and your getting what you paid for delivered to it.

[@house382]

Overall I like that this works. I don't like that replace is essentially duplicate. If it actual despawned the old items when it you replaced them it would be 10 of 10. However with the fact those items could be looted by someone else, it wouldn't be fair to just rip them away from that person. For an interim solution it works fine but there needs to be an ID system so there's only one copy in the future.

[@unlucky6928]

I expect/hope it works with 1/8 scu crates too, though not sure if it saves the inventory data within. It seems like they simply enabled the ability for the loadout database to recognise items nested within another inventory, like saving vehicles within ships, so ideally item nesting could continue infinitely and you could have easy setups for ammo crates within your mule. Which really lets the mule live up to its name

Being that guns retain their attachments, I asume the gun has its own inventory, nested within the rack, so its already inventory-ception

Curious how that "repair" cost of 7K compares to the cost of purchasing the equipment outright, seems like it's probably pretty close. That means this method basically is only a shortcut to use your Mule as a "shop", but only in locations where it can be repaired. Minimal utility, much less than the weapon rack respawn one, but interesting none the less. This is kinda obviously an inventory bug, I wouldn't count on it being a permanent feature. A question would be if you destroy the Mule and then reclaim it, does it restore the armor pieces then?

[@Spike.SpiegeI]

better than a shop for 2 scenarios. First, you can save rare armor you find that isn't available to purchase in a shop OR second, you can save armor sets you've bought from the pledge store and have a way to retrieve them over and over. As far as I know before this if you lost a set of armor you purchased in the store the only way to get it again was to do a character reset or wait for a patch update.

WAIT.... can you do this with the storage boxes that you buy from cargo centers?..................

[@Cplcash87]

I haven’t tested but according to a comment in here they said no, but I can’t confirm.

[@DedLeader]

@@Cplcash87 repairing restores the crates but not the inventory inside them. Still testing but I'll see if claiming it is any different.

[@DedLeader]

@@Cplcash87 negatory on the claiming also. It summons it with the boxes, but their inventory is empty.

[@Cplcash87]

Imagine how broken that would be if you could do that though lol

[@DedLeader]

@@Cplcash87 would sure be a way of giving the Mule an actual purpose tho. That being said you can't fit things like guns or armor into them, so as long as it charged you for things like ammo/meds/multi tools/food and drinks inside them it would make it an absolute asset for orgs and multicrew ships to get everyone geared up quickly!

[@circuitguy9750]

Can you put normal 1/8 SCU with other knick nacks and have it save them? I.e. filled with helmets, water, whatever?

[@Falcodrin]

No tried with Cruz and the box regens empty

[@circuitguy9750]

@@Falcodrin Thanks!

[@romamoran1337]

Can you insure drugs using this method? 'Cuz apparently the shelf keeps any box placed on it

[@crasher9131]

Did you not pay 7k to repair /replace?

[@aj.hardwick]

Does this not work with undersuits? I would assume that the reason i cant load an undersuit box into the mule is because the box is bigger by default than the helmet and armor boxes, but I could also be doing something wrong because I'm bad, so I figured id ask to make sure.

[@Cplcash87]

No you can’t do it with undersuits at least on the mule, not sure if you can do it with other vehicles.

[@aj.hardwick]

@Cplcash87 I plan on vhecking if this works with the stv as well cuz it has the little spots to load boxes, I'll probably check it for undershirts and report back here!

[@muramasa2643]

So if you have ti pay for the guns via repairs anyway... Isnt that essentially just buying them again from the shop? Which you want to avoid anyway, as yku can loot them, no?

[@Cplcash87]

It more benefited pledge store items imo, a way for players to reuse their pledge items without fear of losing them.

[@lzylightnin]

Yeah... this doesn't seem the same as weapon insurance. This seems like a bug. Good work though!

[@aarongallaway7005]

Looks like an exploit that needs to be fixed, because now you have 2 sets of armor. You could keep doing it to collect a lot of high end gear, then sell it for quick profit.

[@MrJJ86]

This is a bit of a stretch but this should be a Feature.

[@Zappy1210]

Was a bug, doesn't work anymore.

[@CptMiller1690]

Ohhh damn !!

[@aka80uk1]

It didn't work for my when I tried. 😢 Does this need to be done at specify locations?

[@FrozenKnight21]

Does this work with cargo. Could someone load up maze, into the racks, and respawn/sell? If so you can see why I call this a bug.

[@d3m3n70r]

pssshhht! Don't talk too much about it, or CIG will take it away from us!
