Patch 3.22 in Star Citizen brings significant updates to Salvage gameplay, particularly for the Vulture ship. Players can now store up to 14 SCU of Salvage before needing to eject any boxes, making the process more efficient and enjoyable.
Patch 3.22 has brought exciting changes to the Salvage profession in Star Citizen, specifically to the Vulture and Reclaimer ships. The Vulture now has a Salvage buffer in the filler station, allowing for 14 SCU of internal storage before needing to eject boxes. This eliminates the need to constantly run back and forth during Salvage operations. Additionally, the Vulture now has the ability to perform “whole munching,” which breaks down ships and allows for the recovery of structural components.
The video shows the player taking on a small Salvage contract, dismantling an Origin 100i ship. With the new features, they are able to fill their entire cargo bay before needing to eject any boxes. The Salvage process involves using fracturing mode to break down components and collect the materials, followed by disintegration mode to gather construction materials. The player is impressed with how smoothly the new system works and the improved workflow it provides.
The video then transitions to another Salvage job involving a Vanguard wreck. The player expresses their satisfaction with the Salvage gameplay, finding it relaxing and fun. The changes to the filler station have addressed a common complaint about having to constantly eject boxes, and the increased capacity of 14 SCU allows for more efficient Salvage operations. However, the video also highlights a confusion at the trade terminal, as construction materials need to be sold at an admin terminal, not a trade terminal.
Overall, the changes to Salvage in Patch 3.22, particularly for the Vulture, have greatly improved the gameplay experience. The ability to hold more Salvage before ejecting boxes and the addition of whole munching have made Salvage a more competitive and rewarding profession in the game. In the next video, the player plans to explore the changes to the Reclaimer ship, including the introduction of larger fill stations. The video ends with a thank you to the viewers and a shoutout to the winner of a Crusader C1 giveaway.
