You dont need shields off to fracture ships in a moth.

shadow geode
#

Interesting. I’ve never even heard of the moth lol. I’ve been running vulture and reclaimer.

Solo reclaimer is still fun, just lots of seat hopping.

I’ll check out the moth

random patrol
#

I like the moth primarily because the salvage claws are pilot controlled...no need to swap seats. You have better control over maneuvering when a fuselage section trys to get away from you.

native aurora
#

Yeah especially if you just wanna crunch for cmat and avoid rmc, moth is great for solo salvage

obsidian reef
#

The moth looks nice. Sadly it seems like it's still unavailable for purchase in-game.

covert dome
#

it only released a few months ago

covert dome
#

i'm kinda shocked at how many ships they updated as auec tbh

#

hermes, perseus, clipper, mdc, can't remember hwich else

verbal tangle
#

yeah this update is like 3x as many normal releases to the universe

covert dome
#

yeah exactly

verbal tangle
#

usually its like 2

#

this one was like 5

covert dome
#

right, salvation too

#

i think they lumped in all the iae releases in one batch

verbal tangle
#

Yeah I dont blame them but twas weird

#

Either way, should put Moth next in line

covert dome
#

i'm guessing moth will release alien week or something

verbal tangle
#

do

#

do they do an in-game update along alien week usually?

native aurora
#

i hope so

verbal tangle
#

i started just after alien week last year, so I dont know much about that event

native aurora
#

for moth that is

#

i cant stand the vulture so im getting the moth as soon as its buyable in game

verbal tangle
#

My biggest industrial red-flag right now is the shit-all for middle ground Mining. Going from GOLEM and Prospector to a MOLE with nothing inbetween in absolutely annoying for a solo miner.

native aurora
#

i agree

#

i love the mole with 2 but its irksome solo

#

and the prospector just feels lacking a bit

verbal tangle
#

And I mean, to be fair, that annoyance would be immediately solved with giving pilot control of the central mining turret, but I also dont wanna jump that bandwagon as the only viable fix

native aurora
#

i still use it though, a helix and 2 focus 3 and im usually fine for most rocks i find

covert dome
#

I want to like mining but i never see myself going to do it

#

maybe once i start crafting more

random patrol
#

I gave up mining this patch. kekw

I gave up mining Star Ctizen this patch. kekw

#

Fixed it for everyone 🤣

random patrol
#

Na ive been online near daily since I started last july

#

Even if its to do random tasks im on

verbal tangle
#

Oh i was just making a joke, I still log in mostly daily

#

Honestly some days I log in an just run courier missions, flying the ships and just experiencing the 'verse is a hard feeling to replicate

random patrol
#

Honestly I just login to read the eloquent conversations in general chat

covert dome
#

i really like the MOTH and really dislike the MOLE kekw hilarious that that duality can exist

#

you know what would be ncie though, allowing two MOTHs to crack larger ships if you have 2x moths using the disintegration field, like how lasers and mining works with multiple MOTHs/turreted lasers

#

same with ex- yeah

#

exactly that lol

#

as it stands you have to use the reclaimer for large ships

#

i guess it would render the claimer obsolete if they did that but idek if that argument works since the cost of two MOTHs is the same as one reclaimer and you're going to be more efficient with 2-3 people n the claimer anyway

verbal tangle
#

Reclaimer needs better grid absolutely, and I would also argue for a better elevator for the sake of unloading the better grid it needs.

#

But as far as running the actual salvage itself, reclaimer didnt feel that bad last I used it.

#

Yeah needing all 3 lasers is to match scrape speeds is a bit wild imo, even with acknowledgement of it being intended to multi-crew

covert dome
#

honestly if the reclaimer had a stacking grid, a pilot controlled cruncher, and a better elevator, i'd use it over the MOTH

#

as it stands the reclaimer feels most ass when printing/unloading

#

and having to bounce between pilot and crunch seat or pilot and scrapers

long frost
#

Unless a second guy really wants to take the role of printing boxes

native aurora
#

yeah rmc is what we target in reclaimer and cmats in moth

long frost
#

True

verbal tangle
long frost
#

I'm looking for a reason to take out the reccy again. I've got enough hopium accumulated to see a rework happening soon now that cmat and rmc gets more important

verbal tangle
#

My reclaimer is sitting somewhere in Nyx exploded near my 890J that is also exploded, cause I am hoping they get deleted during the update so I dont have an XL hangar anymore

#

My fingers are bleeding from running across the XL hangar to my (usually) medium sized ship.

#

I been MOTHin since the MOTH released, upgraded my Fortune

At least when I do Salvage

#

I was looking forward to do rmc with the moth but the speed scared me off. I did cmat with it which was fun for a while but I like the rmc power washing

upgraded my salvation to MOTH and don't regret one bit

i cant wait for it to be able to buy in game

i enjoy salvage but i hate the vulture so it will be a nice addition for me when it happens

RMC sucks on the MOTH

#

i have a vulture, reclaiimer and fortune if i want to RMC

#

(which i got in game for auec)

verbal tangle
#

Yeah i got fortune teach's special the day i CCUd the MOTH

#

just for RMC

covert dome
#

can't wait for the salvation to drop in game

#

will probably repick it up

there's like 5 ships that were in ptu

where in stanton can i found salvage big/plentiful enough to feasibly fill a moth within like 2 hours or so

try the gateways

verbal tangle
#

Gateways and Orbitals usually have abandoned player ships, the Lagrange stations usually have lots of excess "bricked" ships for salvage contracts, you can just much them up.

# latent crag purely just doing RMC

Doing rmc exclusively I would recommend taking a vulture or fortune, MOTH you need all 3 scrape lasers to get the same efficiency otherwise. MOTH storage is great but scraping is miserable lol

latent crag
#

my moth would be fully crewed

olive gull
native aurora
#

The qt tank is way too small on the vulture.

#

And I've had cargo stored off grid cause issues. But still

#

Rmc in the moth does feel awful solo

#

I'm jumping constantly

#

Ymmv but It I don't care for it for that reason

#

I'm waiting for the moth before I go back to salvage. Just going after cmat

#

And it's great for that

That means they believe they have fixed dupes and exploits, and did a good enough job at preventing future ones.

#

It's a good news.

native aurora
#

I understand all that. I'm sure it's needed. I have just been grinding the last week and it was for nothing. It could just be until the game fully launches and get out of alpha it might not be for me. I have no desire to even log in now.

robust dirge
#

what's the best weapon to do that with?

verbal tangle
# robust dirge what's the best weapon to do that with?

Blowing the engine off has less to do with weapon types and more to do with precision targeting.

Use RMB during a fight to open enhanced targeting where you can use gimbals to micro-adjust aim and target subcomponents. Aiming for the engine = blowing the engine off.

As far as what weapons to use, anything that isn't distortion can do it. Laser repeaters, laser cannons, ballistics, etc. LOGICALLY I would think ballistic would do better for destroying components, but in the case of engines specifically I dont think it matters, cause as I understand it the engines aren't protected by the armor pool / deflections, so any weapon can target and damage them,

robust dirge

I'll have to try that out tomorrow. Thanks!

I used to love exploration in Elite Dangerous but now I'm a big star citizen fan. Are there any good exploration gameplay loops or ways to make money in Star citizen. I'm super unfamiliar with the exploration side of the game

There isn't any exploration gameplay, since the whole universe is handmade and not procedural

RIP Reputation and Exec ships.

The rep really hurts.

#

I wonder though, to rank up adadgio, can I destroy the ship and get credit for it or do I have to actually salvage it? If I can blow em up it will save time

covert dome
#

Last I was trying blowing up worked but idk if bug or feature

native aurora
#

Nice, that will make it much raiser for me to get back to where I was

tacit nacelle
#

silly question of choice: Is there really a reason I'd ever want a Moth and a Reclaimer? Is there a chance in the future that the Moth is just far easier to operate as a solo / duo than the Reclaimer? Figured this place might make more sense than the CCU channel

spare cloud
#

IMO ship with all seats right by each others like Reclaimer/Arrastra will always be easier to operate solo than MOLE/MOTH.

olive gull
#

Moth were launched with several bugs and deficiencies that had not been yet fixed. I would not buy it

spare cloud
#

The running around in a MOLE is tiring compared to just switching seats 2 meters away in Arrastra concepted cockpit or Reclaimer one.

tacit nacelle
#

I mean I am specifically looking at long term prospects of the ships

olive gull
#

stay on the Reclaimer

tacit nacelle
#

that was kinda what I was leaning. if I were gonna get one, I'd get the Reclaimer

#

ideally, I'd like a solo designed ship above the Vulture though

spare cloud
#

That's likely not going to exist tho.

tacit nacelle
#

unfortunately I stupidly only ever grabbed a single CCU to a reclaimer....... whoops...

spare cloud
#

What's wrong with that ? Reclaimer is available mutliple times a year and not limited.

tacit nacelle
#

I guess thats fair. my Valk to Reclaimer isnt actually a warbond

How am I able to see cargo loading progress?

#

The ship just saying its in progress

native aurora
#

I think you can see it at the asop terminal, not certain though

latent crag
#

is a fully crewed moth more efficient for a large shipwreck than 3/4 vultures?

#

and if not is there any reason to own a moth instead of a reclaimer

random patrol
#

Scraping in a moth is a complete waste of time

latent crag
#

so the reclaimer is best for just scraping RMC?

#

and then multiple vultures next best?

tacit nacelle
#

I'm probably going to stick to a reclaimer over moth personally, but I imagine it's a bit more personal tastes if yoh are going to solo

latent crag
#

so the only convenient thing about the moth is its grid?

tacit nacelle
#

I'm thinking Railen if I get a dedicated cargo ship

random patrol
#

No need to switch seats

latent crag
#

so moth is ideal for cmat but isnt good for scraping?

tacit nacelle
#

Wait. I thought moth still. Had to switch seats?

random patrol
#

No u can fracture from pilot seat

tacit nacelle
#

Huh

native aurora
#

Yeah for cmat moth is easier solo

#

But reclaimer wins for rmc

#

Even having to move about the ship

random patrol
#

Honestly everything is a personal taste so youll have to decide what works for you

native aurora
#

True

latent crag
#

so vulture for solo rmc, moth for solo cmat, reclaimer wins both if crewed with multiple people?

native aurora
#

Well raclaimer is still very viable for solo.

#

Fair

#

And need to split profits

tacit nacelle
#

mY BIGGEST concern with the Reclaimer is the same one I share with all the larger role based ships: is there potential in the future that they become too difficult or unwieldy to operate solo

#

same reason I didnt really consider something like the Arrastra

native aurora
#

I don't like it solo. But it's subjective

#

I can't crack as much with it, or Crack for as long. But i enjoy my prospector

#

I also only mine in space so if I 2anna mole, I'll just go with my buddy that can't control his spending, lol. Saves me the money

tacit nacelle
#

Well for. Me personally, my concern is expanded more outwards to ships like the 600i, or heck even the terrapin

#

Like what good is a terrapin really solo....

latent crag
#

will there be any reason to own a mole if i own an arrastra? talking about when it releases obv

#

but there would be a reason to have a vulture, moth, and reclaimer?

#

depending on solo or multicrew

tacit nacelle
#

I love a lot of the larger ships over the smaller ships, but don't want to get stuck not being able to use them solo. Its why I still have the Vulture despite the fact I am not the biggest on its overall design

olive gull
tacit nacelle
#

but will that ALWAYS be true?

yesterday i found a huge gold rock that a Prospector plus a Golem could not break

What are salvaging contracts like? I’m considering buying a salvaging ship. Is it good money? Where are the contracts normally located?

jovial matrix
# ionic briar What are salvaging contracts like? I’m considering buying a salvaging ship. Is i...

For the legal salvage contracts, you pay a fee (depends on the size of the ship, I think it goes up to 50k?) and the game will spawn a ship, and give you a marker for it. You make money by going and scraping/cracking the ship, and then selling that RMC/CMAT. The missions will send you to the lagrange stations, depending on which planet you're around. So if you take a mission around crusader, it'll take you to the CRU lagrange stations

ionic briar
jovial matrix
#

Yeah, like 20-30k from the station

keen flume
#

solo

#

i do illegal for money cuz god damn they are profitable, but also you can ram smaller ships with reclaimer at 200m/s and complete the contract without stopping for early rep

jovial matrix
#

Yeah the illegal contracts will pay you to scrape/fracture the ship, buts its only like 10-30k

keen flume
#

but you sell the rmc and cm with that little bonus instead of paying a fee

ionic briar
#

So do you have to hand over the materials, like deliver them someplace after you salvage the ship?

native aurora
#

you just sell them

ionic briar
#

Ok gotcha

jovial matrix

@latent crag Do you like multi crew gameplay? Sure. If you like doing your own thing solo, I personally recommend. The prospector and the fortune. Or the Vulture, whatever your flavor. Is. Is there a reason? Of course. They're gonna be the mine faster. And produce more. Is it easy to do as a solo player? Absolutely not. Will NPCS help? We don't know yet.

Operating cost could be that thing, bigger ships should have meaningfully higher operating costs. Idk how you'd do that for mining ships specifically, but I'd like to see it

For the tiers 2 mining lasers you need shubin rock breaker. Those gems you can as far I know only in that mission. U need 13 of them at least.

latent crag
#

is the reclaimer supposed to have a cargo grid on the salvage hold level? and on the salvage lift?

#

so to get salvage off the ship i just have to throw it down loosely on the elevator?

past fractal
#

The grid is split between the cargo hold and the processing deck. Most people, if working in a crew or in Pyro, use the XL hangars to chuck everything out the back.

Using part of the grid and a lot of free space, you can store 2,000 SCU easily (100 16 SCU loose, 10 16 SCU grid, full hopper) which, once processed is 300 SCU of CMAT.

You can theoretically hold a potential maximum of 2,292 SCU, but it's a humongous pain in the neck and not really worth the effort

They were in the 10k missions last patch

Damn. 20k contracts is rank 4 isn't it?

rank 3? contractor, i think

Oh the yeah the price went up, contractor was only 10k last patch

bruh, that was a long ass contract

you only have to bring the freight elevator down for it to succeed right

It dose seem interesting I guess I will get a starfarer after I buy ships I can make better money with

is it true it takes like 64 scu of RMC to repair one fighter..?

i got that info off a vid posted like 2 days ago

So is mining to sell to TDD still more profitable than salvage ?

latent crag
#

well it was gameplay footage of him testing it

#

but maybe it was an older recording

agile oyster
#

I know I’m sure 900+ ore can be sold for a ton of uec
Is it worth saving up for a reclaimer ?

#

I did like using the reclaimer solo its satisfying staying out in space for days stuffing it with boxes
But is CMAT sill worth it now it has to be refined
But is it worth 30 mil?
I guess at 900k per hour it will pay for itself in 40 hours

jovial matrix
#

Does the moth give you the option to eject 1/2/4 SCU boxes?

agile oyster
#

Yeah it’s the only salvage ship that scraps fast enough not to be painful and it is fun to scrape capital ships and clean up abandoned ship that are scattered everywhere
I think I will save up for it

#

I have been rich for too long and it’s fun to have to save up for ships again I made too much uec from supply or die in 4.0.2 and bought a lot of expensive ships

Are these quant prices true? Im aware erkul is mostly out of date atm. I think its worth to check lol

Yeah Im almost certain its too good to be true

But with how missions are rn I think its worth checking out lol

Yeah it says all quant prices are like 150k except for that gateway, its probably just an input error but I have nothing else to do so

Those look correct. Somewhat recently, they increased the sell price of mineables/commodities by a LOT, but decreased the refining yeild to compensate

something like that

Now that mining is a big part of the game because of crafting
Why can’t they make it a lot easier to scan rocks there needs to be a filter on the radar so it only shows the rocks your looking for

Yes, but they’re easier to identify

Geo for ground mineables then? Oh Roc-Ds. Got it

Geo for both hand minables and vehicle minables

Beautiful. Tyvm

How is quality determined? RNG, Refine, Tools, Combo?

verbal tangle
#

So if it rolls a 355, that is in the 325 band and it rounds down to 325. if it rolls a 642, that is in the 664 band and rounds up to 664.

bronze dirge

Got it, pure RNG lol. And I want band 5 of Aaron Halo generally right? For Stanton anyways.

verbal tangle

so as long as its 525 or higher you get a bonus.

band 1 is basically barebones

#

But its 874+ that you really want for maximum bonuses and sell value.

like I said, I dont know if this was implemented yet. this could be entirely hypothetical

I'm OK with them existing as an easy place to go test a ship or loadout against a known set / type of enemies, but maybe they only pay you the first time.

Yeah definitely. The only rocks that you would be able to comfortably mine in Nyx would be Iron, Ice and those other cheap ones. Anything above is gonna be hard. What I would recommend is going to a random moon, let's say Wala, and mine to your heart's content.

If you don't want to surface mine then I can only recommend Aaron Halo. I am saying this because from my experience every single lagrange point has been filled with abandoned rented ships and the only couple of asteroids I found were taranite or bexalite ones with masses over 20k.

The base Ironclad only offers 3 (poorly placed, poor arcs) tractor beans and ~50% extra on-grid cargo over the assault, which instead offers repair & rearm, bonus weapons, and a fabricator

Is off grid storage actually an issue?

Even if looking purely for industrial gameplay, it feels to me like the assault is the better option (especially if considering things like stuffing a couple smaller ships in and going on longer expeditions).

Any one think otherwise that can convince me? I'll be picking up one or the other for my mostly-industrial fleet

yo did they remove the ability to stack hauling missions??

Even when the problems get fixed they did limit the number of quests we can accept at once, so that’ll affect it too

yeah true, the cooldowns are longer too i feel on abandoning contracts as well

# lofty drift yo did they remove the ability to stack hauling missions??

Isn't it the problem mentioned in the patch notes; "Known issue that will require a full future build
mobiGlas - After accepting a mission, the "Accept" button for all other missions will be greyed out until the player cycles the mobiGlas". I seem to have had luck by accepting the first one, closing mobiGlas and reopening it and then I can add more?

Golem Mining: Aside from having the laser out with M, how to get this Laser Range bar to activate? I'm very close to a Tin Ore in space but the bar shows nothing

Ok, so I realized part of the problem. I need to find "Asteroids", not "Tin"

what do you even do with big rocks that just say "Tin"?

Instead of "Asteroid - M Type" it says "Tin (Ore)"

and I know I'm on "Extraciton" mode in the screenshot

# left ore Instead of "Asteroid - M Type" it says "Tin (Ore)"

"Asteroid - M Type" Asteroids don't exist anymore. They are now categorized by type of ore. I'll send in a screenshot of a list of asteroid compositions in a moment.
This is a server bug that happens when a server is overloaded. Fairly old too. You gotta wait til the server catches up to you trying to scan asteroids or just server hop instead.

Ok fantastic thank you! I will log off and try another server.

Very good to know - I didn't know about the change, or the bug. Makes sense, I appreciate it

I just noticed that your mining mode seems to be bugged in general. It seems that you don't even have any cargo space. Maybe try reopening it a couple of times until it registers your ore pods.

Is the salvation any good when paired with a ironclad or polaris? or is it more worth it to get a vulture?

Vulture works better with a Polaris/890J/Idris.

On top of what schmollanski said, you're in extraction mode, instead of fracture mode. You use fracture mode to break the rock apart, then use extraction mode to suck up the smaller pieces

Hi, I read that there was a specific way to lock the IC roof door open, what might that be?

Engineering console

On it, you'll see all doors in the ship. You can open and close them from there, and you can also lock them there, in which ever state you like

did they remove unverified salvage contracts?

Thanks!

Whoops, was EVAing to move things to the IC from an external elevator, hit the wrong open/close button on the side of the CM, and the entire ship vanished 😅

Luckily I was just throwing Cruz bottles in it as a test.

Oof. Yeah I just unloaded about 1m in Cmat from mine

#

Would not be a happy camper hahaha

vocal swan
#

It was just the rental one, are those buggier than owned ones?

#

And I guess the workaround is to go down to the lower side gantries when needing to EVA.

#

Als, it's weird that the upper gantry door doesn't work in flight.

As that would seem a natural way to get into space above the roof door.

For salvage is it better to grab contracts or find debris/wreckage randomly in the universe? Does gaining rep actually matter?

#

how much cargo space do you really need

#

Is an ironclad overkill

#

could a polaris serve as a cargo ship reasonably in play in your opinions

native aurora
#

cargo needs depend on how you play. we make use of the ironclad everyday. we filled it up completely 3 times yesterday. but i also get by just fine with a hull b when im solo. it could be overkill or not

Hello industry people, quick question, is there a setup you guys would recommend for mining just enought to make weapons/armor from blueprints? Im not a huge industry person so I've never touched mining, but I would like to start crafting things kekw

native aurora
#

id start with a prospector with e helix mining head and focus 3 modules for most rocks. i will sometimes need to swap out to reiger c3 mods for tougher rocks but the helix got power for days and dont really need the reiger that often.

#

i always swap out the stock ore bags on the preospector for argo mole bags.

#

they are sold at refineries. to equip, you need to unlock all the ports on your ship then pull up the argo bags in the elevator in your hangar. pull the old ones off with a maxlift and attach the new ones then relock ports. gives you much more capacity to stay out in the verse longer.

#

and some patience. mining is fun but its an art really and takes some practice in regards to distance from rock, how much power to give or not give etc.

devout zealot
#

Hi, I asked this question earlier but did not see a response, IRT the Reclaimer, do the salvage processors work? When I look at the screen on the processor there are no options. Anyone else having this issue. Thanks in advance.

Not yet I'm close to veteran. But you can check scmdb and it should tell you if there are more missions

wise stump
#

SmokeyMuddog. If you enjoy salvage for money then yes its worth doing. You can beside scrape and munch. You can take the components and get materials from then throwing them in the fabricator.

native aurora
#

But I'm not salavageing, I'm just selling the cargo so Sr is all I need

wise stump
#

I looked there and I cant see what the missions there actually spawn.

#

I am halfway in salvage senior.
I want to now grab the iron and titanium and do the mining missions.

#

But I haven't seen the 100 k missions yet what we had in 4.7

#

So not seeing the hull c I figured they might have moved it up to like a 100k mission

#

Or totally removed it

native aurora
#

Well I just looked and nothing new is added after you get to senior. I know the missions changed this patch. No more hull c contracts and the price went up in Stanton at least

#

Yeah hull c is gone now

wise stump
#

In nyx the contracts are 10k on both

#

The a2 cr etc

But they are 20 in Stanton

#

I didn't see it on that site either. So I thought maybe its outdated.

#

Ill still do the mission for money right now

native aurora
#

Yeah I'm not to my money goal just yet, but I'm getting close then I'll start grinding for blueprints and then move on to mining so I can start crafting

wise stump
#

I am grinding till the mole and components. Then I am good

native aurora

I'm past that but I want a buffer. I use a prospector since my buddy has a mole, we just it when we both can mine

I just wished the reclaimer had a rework. Its annoying to go to a c2 with loot and you can take the loot since it doesn't fit in this capital ship haha

Are there intentions of a larger salvage ship than the reclaimer?

wise stump
#

They said in previous video yes

#

Rsi or argo but no date yet

Yeah I use my hull b since I'm not actually salvaging. Loot the cargo then shoot it to complete. But yeah the reclaimer working would be nice

I need to get my asgard setup cause I need to grind several factions for rep on blueprints
