I really love how the "simple" addition of physicalized cargo allows for this kind of immersive teamwork. This just creates a near endless amount of possibilities.
Yes totally! I really think they should allow the mining ships to drop their saddle bags and fit empty ones. that way you can get a lot more of your logistics efforts tied together with teamwork :)
This is how I envisioned salvaging. Even in the small vulture. 2 players working together. It cuts profits but so much smoother. Thank you for ACTUAL gameplay video and not removing the hiccups and “glitches”
Fun video, as always! Couple small tips for salvaging: - When the ship is processing a box, turn off the beams as any material scraped during that time is lost to the void - The Vulture's beams can be controlled without having to turn the ship by pressing G. Avoids accidental collisions Can't wait to see you tackle the Salvage Missions that we're working on
I love the operation you guys ran - seeing more of these will make the verse feel alive and 'real' - rather than just emptiness and random npcs that behave the same way with every interaction.
The logistics possibilities are gonna be insane when everything is all fleshed out. Love the videos and keep it up, you are doing so much for the community!
Looking forward to seeing this series continue! It feels weird to be excited about salvage videos, but I always dig seeing the new gameplay elements getting added to the live servers. 😊
I love it how the caterpillar can be used for so many different things, makes me wonder how the other versions of it will be... Another relaxing salvage video with good narration, love it.
Love this, all the different ships working together is really bringing in more and more gameplay loops. So much fun and very satisfying gameplay with the salvage mechanics and cargo management.
Thanks for the video! I pledged Into SC in 2015 but didn’t start playing until the start of 2023. It was your content that brought me back to the game. I had no idea so much was on live. Your videos showcased just how much fun SC can be even in Alpha. Thanks!
Loving this salvage series so far. Good example of how the game might be played in the future not only with salvage. But also mining. Orgs having logistics like intended will make the game so much more interesting
I can't wait for large org operations for scrapping, refining, mining, etc. The combination of smaller ships and much largo haulers working together is so cool. Keep it up!
I came across your channel randomly while looking for vids on sc salvaging and now I can't wait to see the next episode! It's inspired me to get my org into this very same gameplay. Keep 'em coming! See you in the 'Verse!
Did this exact thing this morning with a friend. I ran the Vulture and she moved the cargo to the MSR. We made a decent profit for a couple hours of play. I enjoyed the relaxing game play. Our adventure turned out to have the same bugs. I see several people has covered the scanner tricks. It helps a lot. Great Watch!!!
Nice, been waiting for the follow-up videos for salvage! I got out with my Vulture yesterday and was finding a decent amount of the panels in the Yela belt while trying to avoid that gas cloud memory leak bug.
A tip to easier distinguish between salvage and asteroids: Make use of the expanded scan system (press V) and look for the RS Signature displayed in the top left of your HUD. A multiple of 1700 is asteroids, a multiple of 2000 is salvage and a multiple of 620 is gem nodes. This is really helpful for (ROC) mining, too. You can see at a glance if it's a rock or a gem node and how many rocks or nodes (1240 would be 2 gem nodes) are at a scan ping.
Your videos always put me into a Zen state. Keep up the good work -- I'm itching to get back into the verse after watching your last couple salvage adventures!
its amazing to see what this game is turning into. ive always loved the idea of getting a small team out there to just scrap or mine or just work together like this. cant wait to see what happens next.
Salvage is a fantastic game loop. In my org we started to do a lot of salvaging now if the servers run smooth. 2 days ago we had 2 Vultures and One constellation and we filled up the whole constellation with 96SCU in about an hour to make 761k aUEC (2 boxes where not recognized for some reason or we had partially filled ones maybe). It is even better when we used the fast Merlin from my Connie to go scan for the next field before the current one is finished as the Snubs are FINALLY perfectly working!
Thank you so much for making this video. I have been wanting to get into the game and have been thinking for months how much I would love a gameplay loop with a cat and a few Vultures doing this together.
I love this gameplay loop, even tho I am a more of a combat type of guy I can see myself doing this to chill out sometimes or even run cargo stacking since I love ordering stuff. Nice video as always!
I really like the gameplay loop of salvage, it really give me a chill vibe and the feeling of vacuuming the hull give a real sense of satisfaction like in power wash simulator
You can really see the multi crew gameplay coming together. Salvage or mining fleets with cargo, refineries and refueler’s assisting with fighters providing security.
Awesome Video, I look forward to seeing how effective the salvage mechanics and multiple vultures will be when there is numerous people especially when we get all the salvage capabilities.
I absolutely love how salvage is coming together, its made me very tempted to try to the vulture out for some solo gameplay. I absolutely expect that security will have to be consideration for a salvage team. I've yet to see it myself but a cargo ship flanked by some fighters would be pretty cool..
Loving the vibe if these videos. The music, low key discourse and cinematography are on point for me. The David Attenborough style delivery is also rocking it. 😂 keep it up!
Great job, I mist this video the other day and was waiting for it lol. Glade I caught the 3rd to know the second was there. These videos are so helpful to all of us and I hope Pirates don't gank me when I am not looking or in my bed lol. Wow I just upgraded a hoverquad to a dragonfly didn't know it would fit even close with the door open and the purple looks very cool nice skin on it.I like how you plan for things to go very wrong and you are so optimistic even when others aren't and find work arounds for those annoying glitches or server issues. Nice Caterpillar, can't wait till we can paint them up the way we want. would be cool if you could paint it just like a caterpillar of your choice. I would go with the Monarch butterfly it looks like a tiger,Thank you again keep it coming we luv the work you and the Skunkwork Crew put into your videos. Narration and film work is great as always great editing.
Since mining and salvage can be done in similar areas. Once we have refining, an org could take a claim, then have mining and salvage run side by side with cargo ships picking up and selling the goods. All while fighters patrol and hunt down mining and salvage targets. Might take a bit to get the ratios down, but if done right it could have some really good returns. And would only take a few hours a week to sustain an org.
I found an abandoned vulture at a bunker last night. It was fully intact laying almost right on top of a destroyed Nomad. Maybe the operator was trying to salvage the Nomad? Didn't find any player corpses inside the bunker. The vulture was powered up with no pilot, so after I finished the bunker, I helped myself to 4SCU of the recycled materials(only had my cutter so can't carry any more). People should be more mindful of where they leave their vultures. =)
Pretty hyped to see how much CIG develops salvage gameplay even further, vehicle ‘munching’ would come in extremely handy for our now polluted orbital stations 😅
The idea about using other ships to carry mining saddlebags to refineries or once refinery ships are in game is pretty awesome. Just waiting on custom quantum markers so you cba truly live out on the edge and make a deep space "base"
When i stumbled upon your channel it got me hooked right away, the level of quality and love you put into making videos inspires me! Keep up the great work!!! ^-^
Great Video Katie! I've personally tried to do this but every time it ended up with a fail due to some box bugs. I really hope 3.18.1 Fixes all these bugs so the games playable
I can't wait to start trying my hand at salvage, as soon as I can successfully log in that is. Yet one more reason to keep a Dragonfly handy at all times! Thankfully with the 3-max ship rule removed this becomes a reality in almost every situation. After a stressful day at work in the real world, salvaging seems like a relaxing way to stress down at the end of the day... as long as there are no pirates that is... ;) Can't wait to see the next episode! Also... I am and will always be Team Caterpillar! My very first ship I purchased after my starter pack was a BIS Caterpillar. It is my baby and will always be in my inventory! :)
Really nice video, I can see kraken or maybe even a starlifter make this even better, being able to move one or more vultures and cargo at the same time.
Team salvage is the way to go. Haven't paired it with a Cat, but having multiple Vultures doing recon and keeping an eye out for pirates is fun. Our org is currently experimenting to see if a single Recliamer is more efficient than 4 vultures. Personally I prefer the Vultures.
I'm enjoying this salvaging mini-series. It would be very interesting to compare using multiple vultures and a cargo ship vs using one Reclaimer and see how many vultures you'd need to match the output of the reclaimer; just a thought.
I'm thinking once ship mount tractor beams come online the Taurus would work really well as a cargo support. As would the C1 and Cutty Black on a smaller scale. Now all we need is some way to mark locations and having a dedicated scout would make sense.
Great video showing the fun when not playing alone, along with all your others Kate (and Will!). Agree with other comments regarding the commentary, keep them coming guys
Reminds me of groups of people working together mining in EVE but with a more hands on approach... Love the videos, really enjoyed the Corsair living video and look forward to the Reclaimer video in the future.
I like all your videos very much! The music is spot on! as a suggestion, rather than having 2 ppl on each vulture you could also have 2 on the cat, vultures with ramp open, and just move to each one take the salvage straight from them, if they are on the same side of the panel / ship it will be easy, that way with 5 ppl you could have 3 vultures and a cat. Not sure if it's better than 5 ppl on a reclaimed though.
This all gets REALLY deep once the next salvage tiers, Ship Tractor beams and Cargo-Lifts on Stations / LZs become a thing. Salvage the s** out of the verse - get a friend to bring it to the closest station and store it there - once done bring out that juciy Hauler and bring all of it back in one way to a LZ on a planet.
Hopefully the tractor beams (when finally implemented) will be able to drag salvage pieces to a bunch of Vultures. A 315p may be quite useful for scouting and hauling.
I really love how the "simple" addition of physicalized cargo allows for this kind of immersive teamwork. This just creates a near endless amount of possibilities.
just imagine a whole party playing together for salvage and refinery, that would be awesome
Yes totally! I really think they should allow the mining ships to drop their saddle bags and fit empty ones. that way you can get a lot more of your logistics efforts tied together with teamwork :)
Don't forget refueling efforts too!
Would love to bring my Expanse out to one of these event sites
@@Citizen_Kate didn't misc make a ship for that? the expanse I think it was called.
This is how I envisioned salvaging. Even in the small vulture. 2 players working together. It cuts profits but so much smoother. Thank you for ACTUAL gameplay video and not removing the hiccups and “glitches”

Can't wait to see you tackle the Salvage Missions that we're working on
That is a nice way to do group salvage gameplay. Just take a few vultures and a transport ship and you're set.
I love the operation you guys ran - seeing more of these will make the verse feel alive and 'real' - rather than just emptiness and random npcs that behave the same way with every interaction.

The salvaging looks like so much fun with other people working together! Great video and love the commentary along with it!
Crew Salvaging is definitely beneficial whether vulture/cargo or reclaimer. Another great video with added pirate input!
You have become my favorite Star Citizen channel. The vids aren't just informative they feel story driven. Keep them coming!
Did this exact thing this morning with a friend. I ran the Vulture and she moved the cargo to the MSR. We made a decent profit for a couple hours of play. I enjoyed the relaxing game play. Our adventure turned out to have the same bugs. I see several people has covered the scanner tricks. It helps a lot. Great Watch!!!
I like the more natural gameplay footage and problem solving compared heavily edited videos of gameplay you often see elsewhere. Keep it up!
I'm glad the servers seem to be getting more stable, great video as always! Can't wait to try out salvaging myself at some point
Nice, been waiting for the follow-up videos for salvage! I got out with my Vulture yesterday and was finding a decent amount of the panels in the Yela belt while trying to avoid that gas cloud memory leak bug.
Glad to be seeing a lot more love for the caterpillar across the community lately!

Just found this channel! I like the calm gameplay and commentary without it being over the top, enjoying the videos very much Thank you.
what a great vid Kate! really well put together giving a great picture of team salvage gameplay and org ideas! great job!
i cannot stop watching these salvage vids ! great content
Your videos always put me into a Zen state. Keep up the good work -- I'm itching to get back into the verse after watching your last couple salvage adventures!

The idea of multiple Vultures working together with a Caterpillar sounds so very Drake and I can't wait to see it in action!
Thanks for showing the pontential of salvaging. Looking forward on what you got planned in the future.
This video was the perfect help showing not only the gameplay but bugs that we might run into! Awesome stuff :)
I'm loving all the new videos, it makes me want to try salvage so much
Thanks Kate, you embody what I believe Star Citizen should and could be once it gets more fleshed out. Cheers!
I love this gameplay loop, even tho I am a more of a combat type of guy I can see myself doing this to chill out sometimes or even run cargo stacking since I love ordering stuff. Nice video as always!
Loving all the videos youve put out for us! Keep up the great work!
I really love these videos where you really dig into using these ships to their max. I can't wait for more!
I really like the gameplay loop of salvage, it really give me a chill vibe and the feeling of vacuuming the hull give a real sense of satisfaction like in power wash simulator
Loved the life aboard Corsair series, life in a salvage fleet sounds interesting too, using the cat as a base for crew meetings.
You can really see the multi crew gameplay coming together. Salvage or mining fleets with cargo, refineries and refueler’s assisting with fighters providing security.
Awesome Video, I look forward to seeing how effective the salvage mechanics and multiple vultures will be when there is numerous people especially when we get all the salvage capabilities.
The vulture is quickly becoming a great ship, pretty versatile for exploration and hull scraping. Love seeing the teamwork
I absolutely love how salvage is coming together, its made me very tempted to try to the vulture out for some solo gameplay. I absolutely expect that security will have to be consideration for a salvage team. I've yet to see it myself but a cargo ship flanked by some fighters would be pretty cool..
seeing the caterpillar floating gentle trough the asteroid fields looks majestic
I can't wait to see what interesting use you come up with for the Antares at the next jump Town event.
Loving the vibe if these videos. The music, low key discourse and cinematography are on point for me. The David Attenborough style delivery is also rocking it. 😂 keep it up!
Another great video! Thank you for taking the time to make these .
The dragonfly really helped out! Great idea to bring along on a big salvage job.
Love the gameplay you made for us, the salvage gameplay is good for after a wipe to make some money
Ahhh! I see. The previous video thumbnail was the Cutlass being salvaged. These are great videos. I hope I get to try salvaging at some point.
Great content Kate! Look forward to seeing what the Skunks do with salvaging.
I would love to own a vulture. I’m glad I got to test it in the PTU. It’s also cool to see people working together in this game.
Great job, I mist this video the other day and was waiting for it lol. Glade I caught the 3rd to know the second was there.

Your videos just started popping up in my recommended, really like your style and will be sticking around
Loving the videos! Out of all SC content creators, you are my favorite! Ty.
Salvaging is impressively relaxing and engaging. Looking forward to getting a Vulture.
Totally loving your work, you were one of the content creators who inspired me to start playing the game.
Looks like a promising video series.
Nice way of getting my Star Citizen fix when 19k errors and other bugs prevents me from playing much by myself.
Thanks for another great video Katie.
aww and thank you for watching Mammoth! :)
Hi Kate, love your content. You all are helping all members of the verse understand best practice of how to play the game
Sometimes it's wierd watching you fly "Solo" or in a small group. I'm so used to you in big parties, doing large scale events. I like this as well. o7
I found an abandoned vulture at a bunker last night. It was fully intact laying almost right on top of a destroyed Nomad. Maybe the operator was trying to salvage the Nomad?

You can also press G to move to turret mode so you don't have to move the ship to move the beams.
I can't wait this to work properly :D I cried a duo vulture trip with a single vulture and a crewman and it was awesome
Pretty hyped to see how much CIG develops salvage gameplay even further, vehicle ‘munching’ would come in extremely handy for our now polluted orbital stations 😅
this is a great perspective on salvage, thanks for posting. Hope to see you all in 'verse!
I’m loving this salvaging series! Can’t wait to see more :)

This looks like a promising game loop, should be interesting when the pirates figure out the hotspots!
Great Video Katie! I've personally tried to do this but every time it ended up with a fail due to some box bugs. I really hope 3.18.1 Fixes all these bugs so the games playable
Your skills at editing and designing the soundtrack make amazing videos. Love it! ( 21:29 )
it'll be cool to see small fleets of ships running salvage operations like this, some salvagers, some cargo and some security to scare off pilots
I'm liking seeing different ships being used in salvage ops!
This looks like fun. I love the logistics mixed with the salvage. I love all the new possibilities with 3.18.
Very cool to see the whole operation with the caterpillar and the vulture at work :)
I can't wait to start trying my hand at salvage, as soon as I can successfully log in that is. Yet one more reason to keep a Dragonfly handy at all times!

Great video! The salvage gameplay is one I will most likely play, already love mining! Thanks for awesome quality content!
Get a smile on my face everytime i see a new video from you. Keep them comming. Your vids are always so enjoyable.
Salvage is amazing for this reason. Exactly what so many people are trying to organize. Plus, add the risk of piracy... makes a need for security. 😊
This truly shows the Potential of the salvage and commercial roles... Can't wait for the bugs to be fixed! 😅
Team salvage is the way to go. Haven't paired it with a Cat, but having multiple Vultures doing recon and keeping an eye out for pirates is fun. Our org is currently experimenting to see if a single Recliamer is more efficient than 4 vultures. Personally I prefer the Vultures.

Always good videos. This salvaging is a welcome addition.
Hey, can’t wait for your continued life-styled videos. Keep up the amazing work!
Great videos! Salvaging in a fleet sounds like a lot of fun!
I love mining so it's great to have another relaxing gameplay loop to spice things up as a solo player
