smaller playerbase there than the US
and id imagine the us servers end up getting looked at more than the aus servers
Few questions about vulture and salvage:
- Im using double abrades and wondering if the correct method is to have both beams overlapping each other or having them more separated to cover more surface?
- Does the distance to the thing being salvaged matter?
- I go to bunker mission locations to search for abandoned ships, how ever after scanning them, it says the shield component is offline but when I approach to salvage it says I cant cause the shield is ON, is that normal or is the scan bugged?
- If I store my vulture with some boxes on grid and some off-grid, do the off-grid ones appear in the commodity terminal to be sold?
- What do the signature of abandoned ships look like in the scanner?
I found a decent node of feynmaline is it better to stock it up and sell it in bulk or sell what i find now?
the off grid ones do not appear
hence the freight elevator
- just do illegal salvage missions honestly, they give u a little bit of money to if u scrape or fracture the hull
or tow it
you found a single crop of Feyn and u want to stop at that and sell it? well I bet its not even a whole SCU worth of feyn, so up to you, imo when I go out to mine gems I only take Feyn at the very least and at minimum 3 to 4 SCU.
Well if you didnt bring any extra ore pods, or a storage box then you have no choice to go back and sell right.
alright thanks, do the illegal ones give crime stat? I discarded salvage mission entierly when I saw they had entry fees I thought that was stupid as shit, I have to pay 20k to go salvage an arrow?? come on....
dont choose the one with prices
illegal ones have a couple that dont require anything
and no cs aslong as u get it done fast enough (gives u a hour)
okay for the legal ones Ive only seen with entry fees so far. I will check the illegal ones when I get home.
Is it possible to increase the MOLE storage in this release?
no
that was never an option, what you could do was to increase the PROSPECTOR using the Mole's bags
that you can do even easier since the bags are now sold at stores in Cargo area.
well you could, I don't know if it was an intended mechanic though. Sounds like they eliminated it.
used to be able to get 192scu in it
Would farming rookie/junior ranks be the best way of grinding through member rank or is there a better option
there are no other option, to rise up rep with a faction, you must complete their missions.
which missions are you doing btw?
welp i meant more like is direct planetary rookie/junior rank ones faster to rank up with through member or would doing the multi stop planet member ones be more worth stacking
cause currently im doing the space station above a18 to welp a18
the direct station to planet and back missions are the faster ways
there are 6 missions of those, paying 50k each, so its 300k per trip
and on the Airport there is a 75k mission to return to station
its a round well paid trip
If you’ve got two transports you can just set your spawn to baijini and soft death after you deliver to area 18. Ship will be claimed by the time you time and repeat
Once you get to member you can do the 4x99k + 2x90k missions from port tressler to three locations on microtech
I think the rookie rank is slightly better bang for buck but rep sucks. I also often have play sessions of less than an hour and I am still pretty slow so can’t get the member ranked ones done in that time.
when does the station demand and inventory actually tick? To update inventory?
With all the changes to the Reclaimer in the PTU... PLEASE can we get a way for it to dock to Stanton stations
Im getting annoyed at mining I think there is too much RNG to it

I have my first C2 starlifter but have NO idea what to do with it
I also have 32 mil so is there anything I should get( recommendations for a newbie)
how do I swap to collecting mode in the geo
Get a ARGO Mech. Ya know the base one with the tractor beam for 75k.
As for what you can do with your C2, well I have used mine to support my mining / salvaging endeavors.
I have also used it to haul cargo. And have plans to use it as a Vehicle dropship
I already bought a Nova and really wanna try bunker runs with my C2
Have also seen people use it for PvE mission running tho the C2 really isn't a front line combat ship so I wouldn't really recommend it.
Also fun fact you can store 2 Golems in the C2 with plenty of extra bags and gear. So
But golems ain't that great other than that so🤗
Ouh- someone said and probally got kicked for using the bad word😂😂😂. Because this discord is kinda dumb with its strictness. Probally because they want to keep us here even tho this is the least helpful server tbh
atls geo is pissing me off, keeps thinking my box is full
what a waste of time, should have brought a roc.
Please read the rules.
I thought the reclaimer had cargo grid bellow the salvage floor
💀
wait so much SCU can you put on grid?>
thats kinda dumb you cant share cargo missions (hull c) with other ppl thats not your rank? :S
i try to share it but it says they need to be eligible
then you complete the missions, afterwards send your crew their pay
lol I got bad news it also happens on the roc
but the problem comes from the container
made me stop doing gem mining entierly
yeah but its just annoying lol manual work
I'm debating whether I should get a Hull C or a C2. I've got about 13 mil right now so I'm almost there.
The Hull C seems like a quick money-maker to help me get enough to try out some of the other ships. But it still has a lot of bugs and people complain about it a lot. I can live with bugs and will only be using it for hauling so the worst thing I lose is time if I don't get all my boxes offloaded.
The C2 can't haul as much but I should be able to do most of the medium size Senior hauling missions with it. And can fight if needed.
What are your thoughts?
the Hull C is the most bugged and glitched ship on this game... you will lose your nervs guarantied.
i would go C2. that's my opinion.
anyone know why my atls geo says its storage is full even though I just swapped out the box?
Hull c can be very hit or miss on if it works or not. Different for everybody. You’re stuck doing long distance station to station trading (ones with cargo decks and docking ports ofc). C2 has less scu but has infinitely more options of what to do and isn’t as bugged
yall which should i get to make money?
Get neither wait for Ironclad
Something changed today in salvaging. Scraping the large panel, you can get down to 5% without breaking a hole. And it seems it is like twice as think. You don't need to bring the whole thing down to the bones.
the C1 Spirit, best daily driver, plenty of cargo space for Hauling missions, $300k+ per trip
the Fortune cant not buy neither in game nor on store.
get a Vulture instead in game, 2.5m
fortune is easier to get, only 6 favors
i actually have enough for it rn but im waiting for 4.2.1
hello, i open the cave in hathor but the deposits inside are bugged. i cant mine. they spawn later on , or the ore remain bugged?
The Geo's internal readout doesn't change until you start mining again for the gems. It's not really full. Just a weird thing that isn't fully explained.
Quick question, when group mining and logging stuff in regolith, how do you divvy up proceeds when you have people dropping in / out at different times?
the satelite laser (hathor) how many batteries needs to activate ? 3 or 4?
just 3
the 4th one is always attached to olp, you'd get he batteries from each PAF location for the olp laser you're trying to fire
dang, mining still feels like a colossal waste of time if we're talking about profits 😐
The only seriously profitable mining strategy now is to mine quant and sell it to other players who want to get a Polaris. Or turn it into Polaris bits and sell them, they persist through wipes.
Totally not cool! Just secured 40 crates RMC, unloading them at Terra Mills, and some just took my ship and took off! All my stuff, my ship! What the heck???
run bounties in pyro, risky but heavy reward
for the "taking stock: mission from head hunters, how do you get the cargo from the PAF sites? i called the freight elavator and nothing is inside
they seem to be bugged every time ive tried them
so its impossible to do them?
it would seem to be so
bummer
Is the reclaimer worth getting right now?
Sure, it even gets PDCs with the next patch
I really hope they sneak in an easier way to unload it
The ass end should just fully open, would be a help for now until it gets a rework !
They could even add a tractor beam under the tail
so i picked up a hauling mission yesterday but had to log off, i still have the goods, can i repickup the mission and deliver what i have or do i need to space the stuff in my cargo hold and start again
hi I can't see red wind hauling missions for a few days now...i don't know if it was the hotfix or something else which made them disappear. I'm member rank but only the HH and CFP hauling missions show up. any solution or is it intended?
moot point, cargi is stuck to gris so going to self destruct
Ugh. First server crash in a long time this morning after just loading triple hauling missions worth of cargo…
no, you can not, any missions are lost when you log out
only exception is when you Disconnect and your avatar is still in game, then you return to the same instance, missions will still be there
im assuming that the Hull C is still not functional?
boxes from the lost missions are mark as stolen therefore you cant sell them, just space them
it is 50/50 of the time.
honestly it might change come 4.2.1 slightly as they are doing a hauling mission event
well... the Santok still has the landing bug since 2 years ago, Alien week passed and no fix...
point is: i doubt a fix for HUL C arrives any time soon.
Maaaaaybe when/if HUL C gets a gold pass.
That’s some pirate shit. Sorry that happened but…. Hope you learned a valuable lesson about bringing a buddy with a gun along 😞
I know Terra Mills is in Stanton and is an armistice zone and this you couldn’t shoot the offender. You gotta be real careful unloading cargo and leaving your ship open if you’re doing it solo.
Ngl as its a ship that mostly gets unloaded they should actually justmake the back end fold up fully.
Sucks. You can try to get escorts for unloading at these outposts.
I usually scan for people and just dont sell if there are people around.
buy with aUEC, none are worth the wikelo price
in 4.2.1 it will be very cheap
C1 is 3mil aUEC
Vulture is about 3.5
Zeus ES is not really a money-maker, it only has 32SCU grid. I absolutely love her as a daily driver though.
What's the going rate for a wikelo favour?
c1 IS 7 favors
Fortune is 6
and Zeus is 10
I know that
What's the market rate for a wikelo favour in aUEC?
Or is this a situation where you have favours but no aUEC, so you want to buy with favours?
i dont wanna buy from market
i grind for favors
ya
then pick based on which career you prefer more:
- salvage but slower than a vulture
- light freight, because any medium contract will have you putting boxes off-grid
- a great daily driver with no real moneymaking potential
your basically saying all of them are bad
you asked which should you get to make money
Zeus ES will only make money on light cargo, so if light cargo suits your desires then you should get the C1, because then you can stack more light cargo contracts at the same time
The caveat is that you can't fit a medium cargo contract, unless you are comfortable off-griding.
The Fortune is just bad.
So I guess if you want to stack orbital light cargo jobs then get the C1.
which is best for combat
Do you have a turret gunner?
no
actualy
yes sometimes
it depends
i play in public vc
sometimes random people come and yeah
sometimes im solo
sometimes im not
C1 will have more damage output than Zeus ES when solo
Zeus ES is more protected and has a turret
Fortune's guns are pointless, don't try to fight in it
is Zeus solo bad?
2x S1 takes ages to kill anything now
When you say combat, do you mean like LRT or PVP?
Zeus solo is less DPS than C1 solo, assuming similar weapons
gauntlet 5 and 6
freelancers,vanguards, and connie
Neither are appropriate for that
Might struggle with the conny if you're an average pilot, that will tear up your ship fast face to face
In either a C1 or a Zeus you'll beat a freelancer
C1 will probably handle a vanguard slightly better than a Zeus due to the better turn rates
Connie will be quite the challenge
And IIRC you don't have the opportunity to take them one at a time
I did the gauntlet 6 in my phoenix and let the PDC deal with the small ships lol
Gauntlet 5 should be fine in either a zoos or C1 though, that's pretty easy tbh
well my friend is always in his hornet so im not solo
no no their not all in one mission
vanguard and freelancer in #5
connie and gladius in #6
Well that obviously makes a big difference, key info left out lol
Lol
Righto, been a bit since I ran those.
5 you should be OK in either
If you have a hornet wingman you should be OK in either for the 6 too
which has more health
check !erkul or spviewer
• Calculator • Shops • Ships • Weapons •
How much hadanite gems are 1 scu? I tried to get that info online but couldn't find any
A thousand
Thanks
Yes. No problem
Hi all, i start with mining (pyro + prospektor). How much money can i make per hour and what is best system and Ressources? Pyro/stanton...?
That is quite the loaded question
There is less "best" or "meta" and more of what "best" "suits" you.
Being effective at mining and profiting from it are two very different deep dives you'll need to look into.
This is a good guiding post you can begin your journey at.
Alternatively you can play space power washing simulator and scrape metal off of ships for a (currently) more simple gameplay loop with a significantly faster turnaround.
And try salvaging.
Have to sprinkle in some Taurus hate. Why can that mf not carry 4 SCU boxes of 32 ffs. Why did they not extend the Cargo bay by like 2 fields and scratch some floor off? So stupid.
Thanks. I like to play/try mining because i never did this before.
In past most time i just play space sc shooter pvp/pve. Now trying something new
@kiourkiotis true
The chain hoist in the upper part of the Reclaimer has been cut away!! WOW!!
can i put the TS-2 and Holdstrong into my reclaimer?
has anyone figured out if head hunter cargo missions are completely bugged? they dont work for me.
Someone told me that missions where you collect from mutiple locations and deliver to one location are broken / wont complete.
Try doing missions where you pickup all the cargo, and deliver to multiple locations.
ill give it a shot. i just mean the unverified hh missions dont workl tho
yah for head hunters. they usually have you pick from a PAF site around hathor.
the elavators never have the cargo to pickup
Oh, yeah those are not gonna work - dont believe the cargo elevators at PAF sites ever worked.
that sucks, they pay well and they seem like theyd be fun
HH does normal hauling in Pyro, and eventually they do pay well, but initially not as easy to stack as Stanton hauling
And you have to fly like 90gm for delivery
i see. i might look into stanton hauling too then
Pyro hauling has a 50/50 chance to get shot as well lol. Maybe better on a quite server but you never know who's lurking with a sniper rifle and those freight terminals are extra slow in Pyro outposts makes you a sitting duck for around 45 seconds
You have to remain on it for the entire down/up otherwise it resets
Still only half way through Junior and it feels like I've done 100 missions
A lot of them are bugged too 
You're doing the multi-point hauling contracts? Multiple drop off locations for one contrat, for example? I could never get one of those to work.
the multi drop off are fine it's the multi pickup that drop to one location which are broken so that leaves only a few missions you can actually do
Ohh, maybe I'll try those again then.
and the ones that go from station to outpost are like 300scu which is unrealistic for the small freight elevator
I've been enjoying trading since I couldn't get any hauling contracts to work in Pyro at Junior.
Would be great to have both.
I got to master on Stanton but Pyro has been a pain, I think the missions are like not properly finished
ah that's why Hull-C is really bugged since the recent patch
Hey everyone, how is hauling missions atm? Got a Hull-A (Hull-B loaner) and plan to chill out moving stuff about 😄
What tool do i need to sdtart me off moving stuff?
How much ar they? ive got 40k credits atm. Im also at seraphim station, can I buy one there?
16k IIRC
The hand tool is fine up to 8scu
Will lift 16s but a bit slow to rotate
Range is short but it's faster for slinging smol boxes (1-4)
ashh cool, just foind it, 19k
Oh and yeah, cargo deck sells them
yea 😄 do i need a battery?
Ahh ok
Take the 6 rookie 50k missions down to Orison, that's 300k to get you started
ok I bought it, where do i collect it from, its not showing when i pree I
Assuming you've done the entry
You need to go to a kiosk
No more magic inventory
!inventory
As of patch 3.24, the ( i ) button no longer gives full access to your Home / location inventory, instead you'll want to use an Item Bank terminal (shown below).
Here's an ISC video showcasing the new system.
ahhh ok
!hauling
These contracts require you to collect cargo from and deliver to stations, outposts and other facilities.
To collect you must land on an outpost pad and/or in a hangar and retrieve the cargo from the freight elevator, and then deliver to the destination cargo elevator.
Bunker Running vs Combat Gauntlet? (for money)
Sir/ma'am/person, this is industrial, kind of non-combat. But I would recommend combat gauntlet grinding if you're simply trying to grind money.
croberts give me the arrastra and my wallet is yours
30% of what?
dont complain, Reclaimer got 7 PDCs!
the nerf was not for the reclaimer but to all scavenging, vulture used to scratch 5 scus from big squared panels, now is down to 3 and a half
On the notes is for the reclaimer. And if I am not mistaken, the smaller ships did get a buff, but I just skimmed the notes. At work atm.
i honestly dont know what there trying to achieve
Abrade efficiency for vulture and fortune raised by about 30% I think
Why nerf the reclaimer so much then. Dam. Leave the loop something to be worth doing.
Tbf it got buffed by a good margin this patch. They are basically just reverting that
Yeah, but now it won't be worth running it again, if they reverted the entire thing. Nerf it a bit yeah ok. But by that much its too much. The reclaimer is supposed to be a multi crew ship, we should be able to use it with at least the same " productivity" per crew as a vulture.
Da Vulture has to go to home base every half capital.
Even so, but with the precious nerfs to RMC and construction materials its not worth running a multi crew reclaimer.
Lets say, 3 ppl to run the reclaimer as it should ( minimum)
So anything that you salvage, would be dived up by 3.
Boom done my first bunch of hauling, Hull A looks cool AF, cant wait to get a C 😄
The timers that are on the contracts, do you have to complete the contract by that time or its available to accept during that time?
I believe they increased the size / diameter of the beam but lowered the speed to compensate
With PDC's and a diligent pilot, you could very well run a reclaimer with just two people. The risk is higher
But not as much as it used to be.
2nd
Do the illegal cargo missions work?
Any reccomended ship to start doing the Jnr ranked medium hauling? Ive got a Hull A which i thought would last me a little while but it already cant carry their SCU 😄
Freelancer Max can handle most but the RAFT is by far the best option at the moment.
Some 100+ SCU missions can be problematic for a lot of medium ships due to 8scu boxes 10+
The Constellation Taurus is another option too
In my opinion medium jnr hauls should have been 48-64scu
Then unleash the 96-128scu at member rank
Yea I was expecting that sort of SCU tbh, with the Hull-A being classed as a medium freighter 😄
Good news is the new event will be around 60scu for the medium hauls
oh nice
180scu for the large which again is perfect for the RAFT
I can't recommend that ship enough at the moment tbh
3.5mil, you might be able to rent it at cargo decks
Vaughn works
If u have the rep up its really decent
Overrated
For hauling at least
Cool for scavengers
U sure?
Did 2 missions and it had no good cargo when I scanned
I had ships show empty scans that dropped cargo after I blew them up
Maybe scanner is bugged
I didn't blow them up
If u go into unverified there's cargo missions for 150k and 119k iirc
Yeah but I mean they showed empty before I blew them up so they were obviously carrying cargo
Irrc these cargo missions are actually shared areas so others could have had5he contract or stumbled upon it
I see cuz the cargo wasn't there for me
Yeah thats normal I think. Only elite lvl contracts give u the good shit
Ah maybe they don't want people making 20 mil from eggs lol
The other one I can try
It was a max rep one
Unlucky then
It was 2 c2 a reclaimer and a hh
They for sure are nerfed tho
Generally worse drops on illegal cargo
I had a good one with a bunch of Gold, a bit of Taranite and Neon
How good are the headhunter ones
Good
I've been told they give drugs
On max level
What mission do u have too do
Idk
That's what I don't know
I think its the salvage ones that give good stuff
Also starts droppong heaps of gold and scrap in the lower tiers
No. Hh has ambushes, patrols or salvage and then hit a target/cfp ship which can be a caterpillar
Ah gotcha
Its more a bounty mission than what vaughn is
Im working towards that rn myself
Which is horribly anoying
I gotta do the base salvage mission so I can grind that for rep its way faster than the merc missions
Cuz ive heard it pays more but technically more risk cuz pyro
Pyro Junior missions are a nightmare to get through, maybe later missions are worth it but the Junior ones give tiny rep, they're mostly bugged and they have unrealistic cargo amounts like 300scu for a medium haul that's too much for the location (tiny freight elevator and small landing pads) its 3 loads of 8scu boxes down the elevator assuming it's working
The small missions are 3 locations up to 200gm round trip, takes forever and most are bugged, if you get past the bugs there's still a high chance of getting shot. All for 94k. No thanks lol
I see
So just do them in Stanton got it
Got any recommendations for routes I wanna make some money hear it's good and haven't done it so I plan too use my Asgard too start
If you can make it through Junior maybe it's worth it but it feels like I've done 100 missions taking into account failures and I'm only half way through lol
Well I'm starting them rn so for now need rep and stuff
Legit waiting for server too come up too start
Once you get to member rank in Stanton there's 6 missions from Port Tressler that stack well to 2 DCs and NB, pay 90k/each and the Asgard will have plenty of room to sort your cargo into the 3 loads to make for quicker drop off. Takes around 40mins for 550k ish
Want a reclaimer and pve ship combat stuff doesn't seem too pay well now
Ight currently on crusader is there cargo that will take me there I assume so
Hurston and Microtech are best because local delivery to Distribution centers.
Gotcha
Atlas good idea too grab I assume
I keep one in my hangar for shunting boxes and occasionally use it for moving large crates but for loading the max lift does the job most of the time
can you buy gunracks to put in your hangar?
does the hull c tractor beam works? cant find the button to enter turret
or wait i might be with the engineer station
Lie
Gilly is amazing, Pyro bounties are good, Hit CFP ships is good
i cant find a ship to do gilly 6's in, soloing it in a tarus ends up with me getting softdeathed immediately lmao
Skill issue(same tho) its for sure possible. Just cant lose the DPS race/get too close.
If u struggle with it do #5
Still great mission pay + scrip and fast
Nope
Used to.
oh thats too bad 😦
So, my contracts have gone after being AFK but my ship is full of cargo, can i just go and sell it all?
Or should i store it all again incase i get a big and loose cargo?
Afaik you'll only be able to sell it in GHEX
its cuz they get mark as 'stolen' when you drop the mission, this is to avoid players be stealing and re-selling valuable cargo from missions.
its true you can sell them at Grim, but being stolen they'll only pay a fraction of their value, couple spare coins.
Space out the boxes somewhere.
YEa, what a pain, can I just go ourside the station and start offloading them off my ship and let them de spawn or something?
take your ship out, then hold Backspace key to initiate self-destruct
run away!
log out to the menus and then back to spawn inside the station
claim back your ship.
is there a quicker way to move cargo onto my ship?
Trying this now, just logging back in
Like i see there is a mobile suit and forklifts and stuff
most cargo ships like the RAFT, the C1 or the Taurus have an onboard tractor beam u can use to load all the boxes, they have a learning curve but at the end its easier and faster than doing it all by hand.
yes, the Atls cargo 'bot' is a better option, it saves you from so much scrolling, its just click, rotate, click
It does, in the room at the top of the ladder. It is much easier to use if you keybind enter remote turret 1/2/3, but there's no enter remote turret 4 to keybind.
I just finished refining ores and i can't find them in order to sell it
thanks
Where do i get one of them from?
The ATLS that is
any main city at Stanton or Main Stations at Pyro
I believe there are auto load cargo missions but you have to pay the upfront cost.
Ahh right, i just picked up one of these ATLS so will see how this fares moving a million SCU1 boxes 😄
Just a reminder holding down the F key makes placement a lot easier.
holding F didnt do anything for me there :/
one more thing about the ATLS, if when unloading you find the box refuses to let go the grid....
turn off the ship's engines.
Always turn off the engines :d
oops took too many contracts, 3 boxes too many lmao
Deffo need to replace this Hull A soon, having to spin the veh around all the time is paintful lmao
yeah, and 64 scu is not really much,
next time get a C1 Spirit, its 'on paper' cargo is also 64 scu but in reality can store up to 114 scu and price its around 3m, its also a perfect daily ship.
or if you want a dedicate cargo ship, the RAFT is the one, 192 scu and only $3.5m price
I got this fomr owning a Hull -B as a loaner
ahh, cool
so thankfully i didnt fork out for it 😄
Otherwise id be very dissapointed
im hoping the B does spin on its spindle as its meant to have cargo underneath and above right?
not sure about the B, but the Hull C does that, its supposed to auto-load outside station while docked
Hull C is also the most bugged ship in the game, mostly due that feature.
Yes now try doing it with one other person and it's not worth it at all
Hahah is it? I was hoping to pick a C up 😄
What's the hit cfp ships
What
success rate on the Hull C is 50/50
GIlly?
end level headhunter in Pyro
Ah yeah def not worth if u add another person
U get 80k a mission if u try doing it with a friend
God forbid u wanna play with 1 more friend and u ain't making shit
I just miss old Vaughn pve content that actually paid well so u could do it with people
How come? just random explosions?
missing boxes mostly, you fail the mission, or if you are trading on your own then you lose cargo and money.
sometimes the whole cargo gets glitched and you lose... well.... everything.
oh shit
yeah.
Ironclad when 😄
the RAFT is better, or if you want a big whale then a Hercules
🤷♂️
... some of my boxes have vanished from my elevator :/
Which means i can complete 2 contracts
RiP
sometimes it magically teleports stuff down, check the inventory
Yea not in the warehouse or on the elevator
its only rookie level
so shouldnt loose that much right
nah, just drop the mission and re-take it
get rid of the old boxes.
I handed them in 😄
this was a return journey for a second load
only had 3 boxes to grab lol
Next time ill transfer them to the warehouse
do you know about the 50k missions?
Thats what im doing
just repeating them, quick and easy lol
woah
it let me submit them
even though they wernt complete
Which is better for 4.2.1 if I'm using a second ship too store the cargo vulture or fortune
both are quite similar, Fourtune cant be buy in game.
i would go Vulture.
Well I'm gonna melt my Asgard
Technically the vulture is much faster for scraping than the fortune since it has 2 heads
And just buy one of the 2 with store creds till I need them
It's just more annoying to unload
Also I really don't wanna melt the asgard how often does that ladder bug happen
I see kinda more tempting too do fortune then
Cuz I'll be on Polaris
If you don't wanna melt it then don't. The fortune will be easy to get via wikelo in game next patch
Well I already have the store creds
But the ladder killing I can't have happening well running cargo
Not sure the fortune fits in the Polaris, height issue? Vulture def does
the guilliotine is easily avoid by just waitng a sec on the ladder before trying to go up
I did
i only got beheaded once
I'll keep it for now
Till I get enough cargo rep where it's not needed
Have a cat for the month so can use that
Speaking of I need ardors for it so I can kill a hh
Just shoot the ladder door open on asgard tbh, solves the problem until the ship is claimed
I will try this
Also I love that in a atlas u can use ship buttons
Need help... I accidentally Seniored the Covalex rep, what are some good mission routes and can any of them be chained?
also is it worth getting the Caterpillar or should I brave the Hull C?
Wooohoooo !!!! Railen late this year!!! 🥳 🍻
So by end of 2026 at best?
or Alien week next year xD
Maybe they can do it in less than 12 months with the new team gaining so much experience...
wasn't there a good amount of production already done on it before it was shelved?
I had thought so but apparently that was all concept work.
GATAC RAILEN - STAR CITIZEN
I am proud to present the Railen concept design I created for the Star Citizen universe.
Tasks of this ship included:
- Exterior concept design
- Interior concept design
- Animation
Gatac’s first foray into the human market, the Railen is an elegant interspecies vessel perfect for any Human or Xi’an pilot loo...
I'm sure a lot will get re-done or undone ...the teams are more seasoned now and they're looking towards making/using kits to bash later
I had thought this was actually being built though: https://youtu.be/c-szHTzIRGI?si=0Xgf9ucFv_rBuneS&t=415
Discover Gatac, the new Xi'an manufacturer and their Railen cargo vehicle, then get reacquainted with the four principal alien races that populate the Star Citizen universe ahead of this year's Alien Week festivities.
Roberts Space Industries is a spacecraft manufacturer within the persistent-worl...
Like, that looked greybox to me but maybe it was all technically concept and not even whitebox yet.
I'm curious how they'll deal with the triangular cargo racks with the new universal cargo
I wouldn't be surprised if they give up and it just turns into normal human box shaped SCUs we have now.
Human... box-shaped, not "human box" shaped.
please... no cargo containers covered in flesh and hair or cargo containers shaped like human figures
Triangle shaped incompatible cargo
Use new flesh cube cargo boxes. The Design is VERY HUMAN
How is the tractor beam on the Raft used?
The terminal at the rear window? I tried that but couldn't see an interact point that actually gets me into the remote turret
who buys drugs in pyro? or do i need to sell in stanton?
Top left corner of the terminal
Drugs are definitely sellable in Pyro, check UEXcorp for the locations that buy
If you are usually a trucker, stick to space stations, the ground locations are often not friendly
Thanks, I'll check it agian
thanks ill check there
https://uexcorp.space/commodities/info/name/osoian-hides/tab/locations_buying/
Not sure if this is a valid URL as the domain is blocked on work wifi, it's just an open tab
thanks that worked! Ill give those a go.
where do you sell at? like what screen or somthing lol.
btw once the tractor beam is active and you're using it press Q to cycle the sensitivity. I recommend to press Q once to have a much more responsive beam
You don’t even know what you are talking about 🤦♂️
Would a reclaimed Prospector still function? Thinking of "duping" Prospectors for a multi-ship crew operation and wondering if I can just do that or if I have to buy separate Prospectors for each person
Pretty sure you can't do that
I think as soon as you claim The ship you won't be able to enter the first one. It'll be unresponsive
It works, you just have to unlock it before you claim it
Ah gotcha
Thank you!
For future reference, you can bind "Enter remote turret" to a keybind. Well, 3 actually, there are 3 different controls that can be used to enter different turrets on some ships. (Like Reclaimer IIRC.)
I assume this is only from the "correct" seat, so I can't do this in the Raft's cockpit; or in the case of a Zeus CL the pilot seat.
Right, but it does mean you don't have to go looking for the control switch in each ship.
Yeah, cool, I'll bind it to my sticks somewhere.
(My binds get less organised)
((I need to do a v4.1 of my binds.....))
That station does have to be powered on though, which does not respond to the normal control of course.
Yes I am familiar with SC's general... UI design...
Looking for someone with a big ship to help me with a secret mission. I will pay well. DM me if interested
apologies
thank you for sending this!
Anyone know which one's better to lean into? Laser power vs Resistance modifiers
Are you talking about mining lasers?
Both.
Rieger-C3, Surge and Stampede are excellent modules
Yea
Im doing cargo missions. is it a way to auto load mission boxes into my ship?
nope, get an ATLS it makes the job easier.
i have one cant get it to move for some reason
destroy it and re-claim it back.
Is the reclaimer in a good state ATM? From a money making standpoint
well... on 4.2.1 Reclaimer will get 7 PDCs for defense ! Seven !
but they will also nerf 37% of the extraction rate.....
so... yeah.
or was it 35%? dont remeber 30 something, still a lot
Vulture instead will get that 30 something percent as a BUFF in extraction.
From a money making standpoint though, can they still make pretty good money like they used to? I've not played in a few patches.
They used to almost print money lol
nope, those days are gone and forgotten.
rmc wise its kinda fun atleast
Reclaimer cant even take 'helpers' since if you split the profit, it wont worth the effort
i mean.. you could have slaves helping you, as long as you dont have to pay them.
around that number
my Vulture, on this patch, gives me 460k+ profit per full trip. (around 40 mins)
Really? I was getting way less than that
437, price flux
You fit 39 in the Vulture? How long does that take though
40 mins
this is how i do it
I feel like it takes me 40 minutes to find stuff to Salvage lol
Are you doing the unverified missions or scanning for panels?
Panels mostly, at the Larrange points, i like Crusader since is close to the selling point, so i go CRU-L1 or L2
but any L point is good
I felt like I saw more salvage at cru l1. Swear I saw like 3 C2s there the other day
Thanks, I'll give that a shot!!
Is there a way to move the ores out of the Golem without Refining/Selling? I'd kinda like to stockpile everything and then refine together multiple trips
Also... is there a way to jettison what I have harvested if I find something better? I tried the Jettison Cargo keybind but it didn't do anything
fastest way would be to take out the ore bags and store them on your inventory.
you can buy more bags at the Cargo area of any station, they are not expensive.
then carry all the bags on a big ship to a refinery
How can I remove the bags that are on it? I've got the Drake Golem which has the 16scu size container... I turned off my ship and tried to pull it off but it only connected to the ship as a whole
Ugh... Forgot about Port unlock 😛
unlock the ports RALT+K then use a tractor beam to pull them out and move to the freight elevator for storing,
same process to put the new bags on
Got minerals stuck in your Drake Golem? You're not alone! This Star Citizen Short is your ultimate rapid fire guide to unloading!
Looking to dominate Pyro's ultimate challenge – the Storm Breaker event? My complete guide breaks down everything you need to know for this intense PvP and PvE experience, from start to finish, including navigating...
can empty mole bags be folded/compacted somehow? to save space when transporting to the job site
nope
Is there a way to have 2 ships com onto the landing pad of my hanger at the same time, such as a hauler and the ATLS
Would definitely be nice if you could tell the difference between full and empty ore bags...
yes, this is a new feature, i think it is in the Live already
just call a ship and move it to a side, but keep it in the area of the ship elevator, inside the yellow-dashed lines
then, call another ship, dont store the previous, just call the new one
when elevator goes up, both ships will be there
the ATLS can be summoned from the Freight Elevator, as if it were a box, call it before any boxes, just in case
Everytime i try that the first ship stores itself :/
Oh really!!
then it may not be in the Live yet
yup
Whats the easiest way to load a Cat? my firend is manhandling all his cargo and i wasa curious to see if there is a better way?
either the ATLS or the onboard tractor turrets, believe the Caterpillar has 2
It's still faster to load by hand as there's poor visibility from the tractor beam and the ATLS is like putting a square peg in a round hole, but you can use the ATLS to move to boxes faster from the elevator down towards the cargo bays
cool tyvm
The onboard ones are terrible, but 4.2 completely fixed the ATLS with the Caterpillar, sometimes you have to aim at the ceiling
@agile void cool, will check that out 👍
Does cfp have high level salvage missions like headhunters
I've seen salvage missions that have a 50k buy in, are these the ones? I've never taken one tbh, worth doing?
I don't really do the Pyro merc missions at all
Most of my rep was from fight for Pyro
I will occasionally do one of the remote outputs if I want to shoot people 
Not sure those ones work the hh missions im talking about is the wanted and then it'll say a npc name
Ig it's not an actual salvage mission
But gives a cat full of drugs that would be good too salvage
Just trying too find good missions for reclaimer salvage with drugs like Vaughn
Otherwise I could just do erts but they have shit cargo
I need to really look more at the Pyro missions all I really do there is Bounty hunting and Roc mining
Same
Cuz u unlock the wanted missions by doing the 20k salvage missions from headhunters
And then it unlocks hit a cfp ship u do those till u get the wanted missions
But I'm already high enough rep with cfp too do the 20k fee salvage missions for them
So I wonder if it unlocks the same type of mission but for them
But I don't wanna waste all my money doing the 20k salvage missions if they don't have them
Hopefully someone knows for sure
Indeed
Worst case it'll be faster too max cfp rep so I can try it
Cuz RN just grinding hh reo by doing the 1k fee salvage missions and it isn't very fast
I've done 4 of the high tier 88 k Vaughns the best cargo I've seen is 52 scu of Taranite. But the salvage amount is incredible.
Its horrible. Best way to get rep up is hopping in with someone who has high rep and doing their maxed missions
Headhunter final level salvage is Drug filled ships, Hammerheads, C2s and so on.
120k.fee tho
50k ones probide Gold and scrap in usually pretty big quantities
HELP I bought the reclaimer and just got it filled for the first time with construction materials trying to sell them at any admin office commodity shop will not work and they are not marked red as stolen simple under the cannot sell category what do I do?
I have scoured the internet for answers and got none in game chat can’t help me either
I’ve tried to sell it at new Babbage , lorville, and area 18
No one will take my construction materials
where do i go to buy in my hull c at a station?
Did you check the stock level?
If its already full, they wont buy
How do I do that?
Got it thank you! 🙏🏼
How's hauling in 4.2 with a hull C, has anyone tried?
Have done a whole bunch of Hull C contracts, never an issue loading, but when unloading it always misses 10-30 SCUs so I have to submit. No big deal
Oh what do you mean hull c contracts? Last time I played you could only buy or sell commodities but that wasn't a contract or anything
omg wow I just watched a video about it! Gonna try it now!!
That'd be trading then.
There are !hauling contracts now, which have you transport commodities from A to B, for a paiment. You don't own the cargo, don't pay for it so risk is much much lower than trading. It's great 
These contracts require you to collect cargo from and deliver to stations, outposts and other facilities.
To collect you must land on an outpost pad and/or in a hangar and retrieve the cargo from the freight elevator, and then deliver to the destination cargo elevator.
Thank you so much for the info!
In case you missed something else, !welcomeback ⬇️
Click the link above to find out the major changes made in the last 4 patches.
I mean one hrt bounty basically pays it back takes what 5 mins
The 50k for cfp don't work the salvage ship and cargo so
I sell mine at big city TDD's...
Just realize you're going to need to rank up 1st and the Hull C isn't very junior rank friendly
Can you still trade with the Hull C? I was trying to do that last night and I can’t seem to get it to work
Anyone here know what hh and cfp salvage missions work and which ones don't
is solo mole mining still viable?? or should i just get a prospector and slap mole bags on
Personally prospector solo is way better imo
Can u still do the prospector glitch
With like I think 94scu
Or so
if i remember right it only gets you up to 48 scu nice its only four 12 bags. and idk if you can still do it but i wouldnt be surprised if you could
Really swear it was more
Nah it was 80scu
well that doesnt make any sense since the mole istelf only has 96 storage
U could get that too what 192scu iirc
how the hell were you able to upgrade the mole storage???
It's a bug or a glitch or a feature whatever u wanna call it
yes but how
Anyways anyone?
lmao what the hell that is some wild ass bug
The best bug should just be a feature tbh made mining actually fun
Mining one rock and then being full is the dumbest shit ever
I saw a couple contradictory posts pop up on the subreddit and cant find them now. Is the Abrade still king on the vulture on Live? Or did Cinch improve?
Golem radar not working on the asteroids. Can't mine them.
Abrade is still king. Just lost a bit of its diference.
Anyone use Hull c?
Really needing some help on it and I can’t find any videos for what I need
Wanting to run cargo by buying commodities and selling them with the hull c
And I can’t get it to work at a station
is there a way to turn the markers off telling me whats in the cargo containers when using ship tractor beam?
Strongly recommend you only do hauling contracts, Hull-C trading will loose you money due to bugs.
You can only do trade between stations that have Load Docks: Seraphim, Tressler, Baijini, Everus and the 3 Gateway in Stanton, Ruin Station, CheckMate, Orbituary, Megumi Refueling and Stanton Gateway in Pyr
AFAIK: Process is dock, go to trade terminal and trade, undock go to loading zone for autoloading
damn these Pyro hauls make you cover some distance lol
not bad pay tho
Mission description is wrong tho, hangar 13 seems to be Orbituary
yeah it was Orbituary - it took the cargo
nice,
This mission is great, visit almost all of Pyro lol
also if you get potential wildlife location I'm guessing that was a code name for the Valakkar site, you can't fly there so you can't do the mission 😄
Random but I WANT BOX MISSIONS BACK
If I log out then log right back in, my cargo contracts disappear. Is this normal?
quantum sotrage, multible 8SCU, 4SC and 1SCU boxes in one place. cant take them off indivutually, i guess reclaim the ship and call it a write off?
it is flockering between "no target" and "detaching"
hold up, you can remove quantum storage?
no, the boxes are stacked inside each other, games doesnt know which one im taking. ATLS doesnt work either. soooo... lost goods
cant unload and sell at TDD either, just doesnt show up
Is there any fix for a persistant "Unclaimed Cargo Awaiting Transfer" message ? Won't go away
anyone have issues unloading hull c saying vehicle needs to be stationary when yyorue not moving
are you level? are you completely inside the box? Just a couple of things that have caught me out in the past.
Are the verified salvage missions in stanton worth it? I was hoping to loot ships then salvage, but heard the cargo in them is lacking.
I am only familiar with the unverified Vaughn missions which at one time were top tier credit makers but have been nerfed pretty badly. Sorry that's all I know.
No, it's not a net loss but when you consider the time you put into it's better to spend your time farming panels or doing combat scenarios and farming those ships
Or doing the unverified salvage missions
But those have their own risk
are there any mining orgs? i been mining in my prospector but i am thinking of either pledgeing for or try to buy in game the argo mole because i want to crack big rock and my prospector is not cutting it
Okay got it thank you guys
Not worth it in stanton. Doong it in Pyro with Headhunters is a different story
Okay ya thats what I've heard as well. I was hoping there was a less risky type of mission that lets you loot ships in stanton, but I guess it's more of a high risk high reward kind of thing. Thanks for the info on headhunters.
i think that is the way pyro is you seem to get more in almost everything you do in pyro more then stanton
Ya I think it's a cool design. It's like the place to go when your willing to risk dealing with pirates more to get better stuff. Just wish stanton had at least more legal cargo to loot or something, like at least scrap.
can anyone recommend me some good trading routes around stanton?
commodities or hauling missions?
preferably commodities, iirc hull c is great for hauling but i dont have it yet
i've only done hauling contracts for now but i heard you can make quite a lot of money on commodities
I've had some luck moving a full load of Gold with my RAFT, seems the most desired routes are for Fresh Food and Bioplastic but those pickup sites are also a huge target for pirates/griefers. I will say Avoid Terra Mills and Rayari Anvik / Kaltag. I tried moving Tritium but the stock has been so perpetually low that it would take me a week to load up the raft.
Thought this was the ED chat for a minute lol. I didn't know Tritium was a commodity in SC! Cool
I’m just dusting off SC after years. I made the mistake of selling off refined minerals at Terra Mills. I now wear my smart hat when I run cargo. Rather a lower return with a safer experience.
how much do you usually make per one run and how much time does it take?
well obviously depending on what type of commodity u take but let's say gold
99% of my playtime has been:
- Cargo contract missions (Connie Aquila),
- Mining Caves, moons, asteroids with prospector or ATLS Geo
- Salvage of panels and the occasional ship with vulture.
All in all been very rewarding, and put up some good numbers for a rookie.
So is auto-loading fucked?
What's the best way too get from sr too veteran contractor for headhunters
Damn thats pretty good how long did it take you
Might be my new favorite cargo hauler for contracts. Perfect size, super agile. Was able to make almost a million yesterday alone just running contracts.
What cargo ship is that? it looks like a raft
Anvil Asguard
it looks amazing tbh
i am saving up to own my first ever ship after my starter
and i am wanting it to be a cargo ship
i just don't know what yet
The asguard is probably not going to be the first one you get - it isn't currently purchasable in game. And when it is, it will probably sit in the 12-16 million UEC range.
I would definitely recommend the RAFT until you can save up for one
The Asgard is NOT a cargo ship btw. Its a great daily driver but its in role a drop ship.
works fine for me
Yep, this.
It just so happens to work GREAT for the lower to mid level haul missions. Like shockingly well.
Ah shit okay
I was thinking about the raft actually i like the fact you can load from inside the vehicle
It’s low-to-ground profile combined with an ATLS lets me literally huck 8 SCU boxes into it in seconds and just be on my way
I'm thinking about renting one and doing some hauling runs
The open grid with the interior access tractor beam is convenient. It is also quite tanky, so if you run into something or someone you won't just... die instantly. Took about a minute of sustained fire from a cuttie and managed to make it out safe (damaged, but alive)
Just depends if Area 18 hanger request is gonna bug out again
To get out you just Quantum drive right?
Yep, QT away. The raft can fight... But I wouldn't recommend it lmao
Like I'm still super new
I saw a video it can't shoot anything below it
Since the guns are on the top side
They are unassigned at default
If u want to run root more power to back shields if ur ship is capable of that.
Oh shit well the video didn't tell me that 😂
You need to buy guns for those slots
But shields turn off when you turn on Quantum drive right?
Not if u root extra power. It lasts longer than QT spools
That's a great tip!
^ this plus if you upgrade the QT the spool time is lower
So you get a bit more breathing room. Even if your shields go down, you can tank a tiny bit while you QT out
Just set ur nextstop as soon as u arrive at ur destination so u can aim for it and calibrate while spooling up
Are you talking pure rep, or hauling contracts?
Yeah i think ill just rent a RAFT i just need to find good trading routes where i can do multiple contracts at once
How exactly do you do it? Every time I try it ends up putting nothing in my ship after the timer, but still charges me for cargo
i fully shut the ship down (u + i) then store it while in the hangar
Okay I'll give it another try. Then just go to admin terminal, buy cargo and auto load straight to ship? Or do I buy it, send to station then load to ship somehow.
Does box size matter?
yeah go to the terminal, select your ship while it is stored in the hangar buy it and it will auto load it
i assume box size matters as well?
you can view your ship's cargo grid
then you know which cargo size u can carry
Cool I'll give it a try. I went from 6mil down to 4 trying to figure this out
lmfao
rip
Appreciate the help o7
o7
i traded gold today with the raft but it only gave me like 150k i need to find some more profitable routes
forget routes, had you tried Hauling missions?
yea i did
im like 1 contract away from experienced
cargo missions are easier and safer than any route you could do on the RAFT
i guess but commodity trading is also cool
what are the best hauling routes for the raft?
baijini - riker?
too crowded nowadays
go Seraphin - Orison
okay thanks
reclaimer owners, apparently if you try really hard, you can shove a nursa into the salvage hold deck or the cargo deck
don't recommend shoving it at processing deck though, since you need all the space there for storage
@fossil scaffoldcool bike
Pure rep
I've been doing the treat urself too a fight
HeadHunters Mission Guide I have been testing a variety of missions multiple times to determine which are the best for building reputation. With the changes in version 4.0, there seems to be a change between pay and reputation rewards. Higher-paying contracts don’t always yield the best reputatio...
Found that
Idk how accurate it is but seems helpful
The hit a cfp ship won't spawn for me
I did the Monox single target at outpost 55k missions where you just fly to outposts all within a 20km area, shoot one NPC from your ship (90% of the time 10% they stay inside) and then go to the next one.
I see so far the treat urself have been really good I'm over ¾ of the way too senior u fly in with a glad its very quick so far I've done around 20
And almost thru the rep
Thanks bro! Is that a ducati I see??
I am max headhunter rep and I have no idea which missions come from what rep level 💀
the price tag is the usual indicator, did you tried looking for it at the Wiki page?
the wiki page has nada
What's the best missions for salvage Vaughn still valid?
Like I want a lot of ships too salvage
Ik Vaughn had 2 reclaimers sometimes
I've done mainly panels whats currently best for salvage? I have both vulture and reclaimer.
i think pyro erts would be good too but idk if reclaimer can take it down solo will test
@silver creek friend hello 👋, I dont think it can yet maybe after reclaimer buff and if its upgraded maybe. Stock probably not tho or not well... I was just curious because I like salvage i used to pay 100k to do that one mission where it would spawn 6 ships with possible cargo and you can salvage all of them but so could other players so was coin toss was fun tho
buff wont help it tho
Isn't it suppose to get some point defense going for it ?
well the cat can solo a hh so maybe
do the 100k still work so far most of the missions with a fee in pyro dont work are they working in stanton
yes but that doesnt help when pdc dont target big ships
it need cap shields and cap hp
They worked for me but tge 100k oke was before they did the Pyro update I've not seen it since tho I recently started playing again since that update
ah yeah i think after update they prolly broke
Im not very smart when it comes to ehats good and not i just play and hope for the best haha 😆 I try
ill keep grinding headhunters and see if any of the higher rep ones work
Good to hear, thanks for your service 🙏
along with ill attempt a ert with the claimer but ill prolly get a s5 gunner
cuz the pyro erts spawn more than one big ship i think
hh im not as worried about its the 890 that i think will be a challenge
claimer has less hp that the cat so
Sounds like Pyro is best for group activity. Especially if a person or two can soft death the ships and have a friend come in and scrap them
anyone know how to fix the reclaimer bug when ur stuck in the scraper chair
I'm still waiting on this vid, but also if this is actually happening then the HH is hitting the bugged invulnerable area on this ship.
Cat and a couple other ships have invuln spots
I'd say about 25% or more of the combat scenario 7 missions The hammerhead tends to kill itself smashing into an asteroid
Ez salvage
Not sure if this is the right chat but is there any ship ( concept/flight ready ) that can store a reclaimer?Started building a fleet
Dont think so. The reclaimer is massive, it needs an xl hangar
That'd be a question that makes the most sense for #ccu-and-fleet-advice
No, reclaimer is one of the largest ships in the game
Thank you
But in any case. No 
I imagine they will make a super gupie hauler some day designed to move ships
Or I suppose a tow ship. Can the srv quantum tow a reclaimer?
These are the Kraken and Hull E.
No, it can't
Hull e would still be outside storage but i guess you could lock down a bigger ship on the spokes
Kraken is a carrier?
You tell me
Your point ? Nobody said it could carry the Reclaimer, but that the Kraken is a carrier
Hit reply to the wrong person but it was brought up
- The reclaimer feet are closer in length then they are in width, so it can fit rotated 90° in places it wouldn't fit the right way
am half asleep mb lol Was more amused by the idea
Kinda barely fits, but that was never supposed to.
The only mega carrier planned is the Bengal, which requires an org, and org station and a lot of time. And the Reclaimer doesn't even fit.
Would be nice to have a larger towing ship capable of moving disabled ships to a ship dock.
The SRV use case is pretty minimal and worthless since it can't tow much
Hah yep
Repair ships will come directly where the large stranded ships are, set them back on course
I was thinking about a big whale ship that could carry the largest ship inside it
But towing makes more sense
Maybe multiple tugs
Or just munch and make a new ship instead 🙂
I think it does have one
Cuz I was shooting a cat with the claimer
That thing was a tank holy shit
Tbh
Bet claimer can kill hh
Way less HP too chew thru than a cat
I got just over a Mil aUEC, any good trade routes for a Herc? Trying to avoid sketch routes
Find routes with enclosed hangars - no outposts and you should be 👌
yeah that was the idea, was wondering though if anyone knew of a hot trade at the moment
aware and fine with the risk
want to max on ROI
Rods fuel n supplies in pyro to cru L4 in Stanton (hephestanite)
999k investment 48% Roi for 571 SCU
damn is that hangared?
Both r space stations, so yes
bet, gonna give it a go
Highly recommend you avoid trading and do hauling instead, but if you insist on trading, don't invest all your money at once.
Zorgh does have a point - hauling missions are less dangerous because there is no investment but the profits do tend to be lower
oh yeah I've traded for a while and haul too
i understand there's a higher risk with trading. I've hauled a lot and am already well into Member Rank with hauling but ideally, even with the risk, I want the bigger returns faster
Just keep on the grid for a bit and get the Experienced contracts
They're pretty good
This sounds like a 450-500k is profit but the route is pretty long and risky because the gate isn't 100% functional. In the same amount of time you could stack 3-4x medium hauls in MT or hurston that easily return 500k with no risk. Pickup at 3 locations deliver to PT.
Yep - I find cargo missions to be super tedious because you have to scroll so far looking for shit, and if something does glitch and you have to swap servers you just wasted all that time.
I also have over 100m, so my risk tolerance is much higher.
Doing full C2s of drugs nets me 1.6m for 30m or so of effort.
i know of a particular ORG, dedicated to pirate the route Pyro-Stanton.
They'll love to meet ya
Or doing headhunter missions to find ships with drugs to sell is also a good payout
I am sure they do, would be happy to put on a show in reward for my cargo
One day - I will do a full Hull C haul of gold or some drug
Will be a blast... But right now it isn't really worth it cause no drug place takes 32 SCU except I think Grim Hex
Although when the ironclad releases... That is 1500 on grid, THAT might be awesome
What’s the best ground vehicle for carrying around ship components/loot?
only one i could think of for that purpose..
is tha new CSV, its like a mini-truck
can carry a 8scu box
Oh that might be useful
You can squeeze a fair bit inside a n/ursa
Is that released?
True, and I do have a regular ursa
yup
it was when released, not anymore
Ah I see, I’m gonna swing by astra armada and grab one. I think it’d be super useful at OLP sites
Yes. Put components in the back so i can sneak up in a prowler U and yoink them out of the bed
or maybe something like this? depends on the size of your carrying ship
that's like $400k
I use the Taurus or cutty black most the time. Occasionally that C2 but I don’t live running around with it because it’s big and takes too long to get in and out of
Question - has anyone found SLAM, MAZE or Weevil eggs this patch in 1 SCU or larger quantities. If so, where?
I have tried many missions and have not seen them in the cargo hold of a single ship.
Distilled spirits, Neon, Altruciatoxin and E'tam I have found pretty easily in 1-24 SCU containers, but never any of the others. I would like to cargo haul some of them at some point if I can find them.
nope, all i've found is D.Spirits and A.Toxin, lots of Iron and P.Food.
ffs it's almost impossible to load the carrack lol
that was prob the most painful loading experience I have had in SC, 1*, would not use again
use a MaxLift instead to lift those big boxes
the beam isn't the issue
there's like 1mm clearance to get thru lol
I prefer to use the handheld up to 8scu as it's faster to move the boxes
the range is shit but I run around and that in turn saves scrolling
they really need to make carrack cargo bay drop down
yeah I'm sure they will, this was just a quick fix I think
the pods were supposed to detatch I think
just give it the caterpillar treatment and it will be useable
and yeah, the pods are supposed to be modular
I been using the Asgard but I wanted the bed for the Lazarus delivery
i just shove a nursa in asgard or take the TAC over
yeah I think the TAC maybe can't take the 160scu
I didn't try to make it fit but for sure was an option
carrack looks cool tho!
i might buyback my carrack eventually
still got a token left
used one on the reclaimer
it's gonna be a long trip lol
oh damn
I got a CCU from mine to a Percy I will use this yeah, but I will have the loaner for my Galaxy still
never seen that big of a jump before
Terminus to Endgame is maybe 120gm or more lol
and Pyro was made smaller too, it was originally 3au across
holy crap
let's see if I can finish this lol
nah they don't take the cargo, missions to 'potential wildlife location' are all bugged - the marker is where the worm is, no way to take your ship there
I sent the cargo down at the transport hub but it wasn't accepted as mission cargo
I submitted for partial reward and grabbed some interesting gear so not a total waste lol
the stuff I found lol
Just found a considerable pile of RMC panels in the aaron halo, but in my Golem right now - any way to leave a marker so I can come back with my Vulture?
Backspace yourself and it will leave a mark on your body
You can QT to your golem
that's perfect, thanks
is it worth mining materials and saving them for use during crafting
Nope, cargo doesn't have LTP and crafting is a long way off
not sure for gems; I have some looted gems that have survived a few patches.
But ore, commodities and refinery orders don't have LTP
especially considering how the ltp system is kinda like not great
with u getting ur compontents wiped
Gems have LTP, all of it survive last patches.
OK, I wasn't sure.
Either way, ore/commodity doesn't.
Hello i have a vulture right now but can ccu it to a reclaimer. the question is which one is better if i salvage solo most of the time?
Like profit per hour between both and hull scrap for vulture and hull munch for reclaimer?
And which one will i spend more time moving boxes?
Is construction mats Worth it at all don't seem like it
The vulture is just simply the better choice on all counts.
it may not be a bad idea to eventually CCU towards the reclaimer on another ship. But I think it's a good idea to permanently have access to a vulture regardless of how many times they wipe the server.
That said, they are stupidly cheap 2.9 million if I recall correctly and you could probably make that up over the course of a week doing various missions in a starter ship
also i bought a SRV (the towing ship, forgot if its the right name) but i can just tow the ship outside of the zone to make money that way right? just not making money selling the salvage
Until CIG says otherwise I would not be wasting your time salvaging players ships. There's no explicitly stated number but they've absolutely reduced how much salvage you get back from them compared to N
NpC ships.
Some have hypothesized at least 75% less RMC from player owned ships
Best to go hunting in missions areas or go hunting panels
Happens m8
Yep lol.
Annoyingly they sent the cargo down so I had to abandon the mission! Dunno what they want with 88scu of stolen waste lol
@silver creek - I'd love a chop shop capital ship. Has tractor beams to move ships into a large dry dock, and then instead of salvaging a ship outside, you salvage the ship parked inside a garage. Multi-angle salvage heads, so you can strip the ship kind of like it going through an automated car wash.
Yeah but then it would be limited too size of ship unless u can really break it down idk
If its a true multi-crew capital ship, could be hammerhead sized and down.
Cuz me like salvaging like a reclaimer and a 890 that's fun alot of salvage
But yeah, you'd want a pair of reclaimers or a 4-5 vulture setup to go out and strip bigger targets.
most optimal cargo mission with a hull c?
And loadout tips for prospector ?

Let me show you why I am hands down the best at mole and prospector mining in Star Citizen 4.0.2. This is the best prospector and mole loadout for mining in Star Citizen 4.0.2. Maybe someday you will be as good as me mining in the prospector or mole in Star Citizen 4.0.2 but today is not ...

Hammerhead salvage spawns rarer today for anyone else? I was getting 2-3 per hour yesterday and all of the sudden I can't spawn one to save my life today.
also - whats the best way to spawn them? I've been playing around with jumping from Yela to Crusader to Cellin and checking MobiGlas each time I stop to see if the Salvage HH spawns. Then I was completing the Catepillar and Starfarer missions hoping to spawn one after them and I was getting nowhere near the amount of HH spawns i should be. For 32million this reclaimer business seems like its slowly becomming a waste of time and money.
i cant find the suggested trade at this location
What missions work for salvage rn for like reclaimer level any alot of them seem broken
you should not pay to work...
THEY should pay you instead!
go find some panels.
Panels is boring tho
I wanna salvage like 3 big ships at once
I'm thinking erts are the best bet
Hey! Any meaningful commodity trading I can do with a corsair to farm for a raft ?
i wouldnt mess w commodities. Ive gotten it to work like 2 times and the other 4-54 i lost about 1.5mill on commodities
just rent a raft and do the Port Tressler to Goldenrod/Greycat/NB INT turn for 700k an hour or so
The what?
You can rent a raft from Lorville and then fly to port tressler. From there you can open your contracts and accept 5-7 missions paying 90k each that take ores to Greycat GOldenrod and New Babbage
Hey guys havent played sc in ages and im just after some advice on cargo hauling. What ship to rent, area, mission types, etc
Rent Taurus at New Babbage, operate around mT, stack "small local" missions (one origin, multiple destinations). Get maxlift and ATLS, it'll speed things up. Around time you reach Member rank with Covalex, you should be able to make ~600k/hour profit
RAFT tho
A good rule of thumb with outpost freight elevators is to always touch the console before putting anything in. In distribution centers you can request landing in the large hangars, which give you a fresh instance of freight elevator.
Above is a great tip, I lost my cargo I was delivering like that yesterday, bloody lift gobbled it up. Wouldn't be so bad if it gets stored lol but they straight up deleted it
The elevator has an "owner", which is whoever touched the console last. If anybody else touches the console, current elevator content is teleported to owner's storage (anti-theft measure, so some random guy can't just run to you at an outpost and steal your cargo). So if you unloaded first and touched console second, you gave someone a nice gift 🙂
The ownership also sometimes bugs out, especially during server errors, but otherwise it works consistently. That's also why the first touch of the console usually ends up with endless "please wait" screen, and second loads it up fast - the first touch is simply just the reset of ownership to you.
Good advice...
how would I go about trading in the hull c?
Headhunter salvage missions at jr contractor and higher (not the combat ones) are good. Specifically the "swiftly salvage cfp convoy" which spawns C/M/A2s, Hammerheads, & Caterpillars. Aswell as the "quickly salvage xenothreat" - which spawns reclaimers and carracks
If you don't have rep in them you can just build it up salvaging the lower levels, or if you want to stay in Stanton you can do the unverified salvage missions where occasionally you can find hammerheads.
Yes you pay for them - but the amount of value you get from them far exceeds the cost. (Cost is 50k - but just one C2 gives 30 SCU of RMC and 220 of construction) Only 5 RMC goes to the cost of the mission.
Okay which ones are these
Cuz like I'm I think sr contractor with both factions
And I have the 80k fee salvage missions but they don't work
I want the quickly salvage xenothreat
Anyways driving home so I can take a look at the missions better maybe
And double check my rep
It's the 50k and 120k
Swiftly salvage and Quickly salvage Xenothreat are the ones you want - all of the combat ones are busted (the QT marker doesn't spawn)
I have tried all of them 😦 even the elite contractor one doesn't work... Wasted 150k on it
Are they in the salvage tab cuz I never saw them I was around bloom
Yeah I was around orb I'll take a look when I'm home
Yeah I'm not seeing them
I'm vet contractor for headhunters
And Sr for cfp
I only see the 80k 50k and the ones that pay u 8k
20k 1k too
Are you sure you're not hostile with HH? AFAIK you can't be affiliated to both HH and CFP
I mean I have the rep and have been doing there missions
They don't shoot at me when I go into there territory
Tbh idk how I have the cfp rep
I was under the impression as soon as you worked for one the other becomes hostile
how does one correctly load 8 scu boxes into a carrack cuz wtf is going on here
Well shouldn't at least one of them give me the mission
Maybe you've got some bugged state
No clue but I'd love too do that mission in my reclaimer
Did you ever do fight for pyro or did you start after?
Fight for pyro was the tin and ice ?
That was supply or die, fight for pyro was before that, where you chose which faction to align with
Those who sided with FFs ended up bugged with both CFP and HH
Interesting. Cos when I did those in both my accounts the other went hostile for good
Yeah neither shoot at me or anything
I didn't know it was possible to be in good standing with both factions at least that's not the way I understand it was designed
Yeah that could be why
How do i
AFAIK the other is supposed to go hostile when you work for the opposite
I see
At least that's how it originally worked and the opposite faction then offered a mission called 'not too late' so you could switch back
I see hmmm
Of course it's possible they've changed things since and not documented it in the notes
Sounds about right
