4.01 "Missed" Fortune | Pt.2 MISC Fortune: Salvage Test & All Salvage Head Compare & Missed Fortune

The video tests three salvage heads—Chic, AR braid, and Tler—on the ship “Miss Fortune” to determine their efficiency and material yield during salvage operations, revealing that the AR braid module is the most time-efficient for larger ships. Additionally, the host discusses the challenges and profitability of salvage missions, highlighting the Miss Fortune’s cargo capacity and potential for improvement in cargo management.

In this video, the host conducts a thorough salvage testing for the ship “Miss Fortune,” focusing on three different types of salvage heads available for use. The main goal is to determine which salvage head performs the best for the Miss Fortune. The three salvage heads analyzed are the AR braid, Chic, and Tler modules, each differing in salvage speed, diameter, and efficiency. The Chic module boasts the highest efficiency but the smallest diameter, while the Tler module has the largest diameter but the lowest efficiency. The host highlights that the stock module for the Miss Fortune is the Chic, and discusses the methods for acquiring the other two modules.

The testing process begins with the Chic module, where the host salvages for one minute and records the material collected. After initial trials, it is decided to extend the testing to two minutes to better gauge the performance of each module. The Chic module yields a total of 0.6 SEU after two minutes. Following this, the host switches to the other two modules, aiming to compare their performance directly. The results show that the Chic module, while efficient, does not yield as much material as the other two modules within the same time frame.

Next, the host tests the AR braid module, which has a larger diameter of 3.5 meters. This module significantly outperforms the Chic, yielding 1.6 SEU in two minutes. Finally, the Tler module is tested, which has the largest diameter of 6 meters but takes longer to melt the material, resulting in only 1.1 SEU collected in the same time period. The findings indicate that for salvaging larger ships, the AR braid module is the most time-efficient, while the Chic module is better suited for smaller ships where efficiency is a priority.

The video also covers the process of accepting salvage missions, detailing the host’s experience with mission markers and the risks involved in salvaging in potentially hostile areas. Despite the high cost of the missions, the host finds that the return on investment is not substantial, as the materials salvaged do not match the initial financial outlay. This raises questions about the profitability of salvage missions in the game.

Finally, the video concludes with a discussion about the Miss Fortune’s cargo capacity and the efficiency of ejecting salvage materials. The ship can currently hold a maximum of 29 SEU of recyclable materials, which can yield a significant profit when sold. However, the host suggests there is potential for improvement, specifically in allowing for two layers of cargo grids, which could enhance the ship’s capacity and efficiency. Overall, the video provides valuable insights into the salvage capabilities of the Miss Fortune and the effectiveness of different salvage modules.
