In this video titled “Reacting to New Salvage Mechanics,” the hosts, AGD and EX, watch and react to a Star Citizen Inside Star Citizen video discussing the recent developments in the game’s salvage mechanics. The developers explain that they had to make adjustments to the salvage mechanics after prototypes showed that certain aspects were not working as intended. They wanted to get a version of the feature out by the end of the year, so they made some changes to the scope.
The video goes on to discuss the Vulture and the Reclaimer, two ships that will be involved in the salvage gameplay. The Vulture is equipped with a resonance field for charging up energy on a target, while the Reclaimer has a claw operator who can fracture and break apart ships. They mention that the mechanics are still a work in progress and may change in the future, as evidenced by the development of the claw.
There are improvements to the quality of life for salvage, including the ability to control each Salvage arm of the Vulture independently. The video also mentions changes to the filler stations and the introduction of temporary storage within the ships. The reworked claw design is discussed, offering insight into how it will function within the gameplay.
However, there are still questions and uncertainties surrounding the developments. The hosts wonder why the salvage mechanics needed to be finished by the end of the year and speculate on the possibility of a new salvage ship or some other related content coming in the future. They encourage viewers to share their thoughts and theories in the comments.
Overall, the hosts react to the new salvage mechanics and discuss various aspects of the gameplay, expressing their curiosity and excitement for what the future may hold for salvaging in Star Citizen.
