In this Star Citizen gameplay video, the players embark on a mission to scavenge valuable cargo from NPC ships, earning an impressive haul of 30 million credits. They strategically disable the ships to preserve the cargo, encounter a dilemma in selling the goods, and ultimately find success at a scrapyard, showcasing the lucrative and engaging nature of cargo missions in the game.
In this Star Citizen gameplay video, the focus is on the recent changes in salvage and bounty missions. The major improvement is that NPC ships now carry cargo more frequently and in larger quantities. The players embark on an adventure aboard the Caterpillar ship, accompanied by an escort ship. Their first mission target is a Hammerhead, followed by two Hercules ships. The team takes care to only disable the ships so that their cargo remains intact.
As they investigate the wreckage, they discover valuable cargo, particularly gasping Weevil EGS units. These large containers are found to be extremely valuable, with 32 seu (Standard Earth Units) each. The team plans their storage carefully, utilizing smaller boxes as wedges to secure the large containers. The haul amounts to around 30 million credits, which they aim to sell and split amongst themselves.
However, they encounter a dilemma when it comes to selling the cargo. Illegal drugs on board the ships can be sold, but the gasping Weevil EGS units cannot be sold at the current location. They decide to head to a scrapyard to sell the cargo, and as they make their way, they repair and refuel the ship. Upon arrival at the scrapyard, they cautiously survey the area for any signs of danger before proceeding.
At the scrapyard, they successfully sell the gasping Weevil EGS units, earning a staggering 28.7 million credits. They also sell the other cargo, bringing their total profits to over 30 million credits. The video ends with the team expressing their excitement about the new changes that have made cargo missions more lucrative and engaging in Star Citizen.
Overall, the video showcases the gameplay of scavenging cargo and the significant earnings that can be obtained by targeting valuable NPC ships. The team demonstrates their strategic approach to salvaging and handling the cargo while also highlighting the potential risks and rewards in the dangerous Star Citizen universe.
