In this video, the creator tests the new Reclaimer ship docking feature introduced in Star Citizen’s 4.3.2 PTU patch, successfully docking at Crusader’s Orison station despite some minor bugs and limitations. They express optimism about the feature’s future role in salvage and crafting gameplay, highlighting ongoing improvements and encouraging viewers to stay tuned for further updates.
In this video, the creator shares their experience testing the new 4.3.2 PTU patch for Star Citizen, released on October 9th, 2025. Although tired from a lengthy six-hour joint operation, they prioritize checking an exciting new feature: the ability to dock the Reclaimer ship with a space station. This feature is highly anticipated as the Reclaimer is expected to play a crucial role in salvage operations and crafting in upcoming patches.
The tester begins by attempting to dock the Reclaimer at Everest Harbor but finds that docking via ATC is not yet functional there. They then move on to Crusader, particularly to Orison, which has docking ports that might support the Reclaimer. Along the way, they notice improvements in the visibility of landing pads at Orison, with brighter lights making it easier for pilots to locate suitable landing areas during the day.
Upon reaching Crusader, the creator successfully spots a Reclaimer docked at one of the station’s docking ports, confirming that the feature is indeed working, albeit with some bugs such as occupied docking collars. They demonstrate that the Reclaimer can achieve a solid seal when docked, allowing the ship’s lights to be turned on while attached to the station. However, some limitations remain, such as not being able to place the camera inside the station through the docked ship.
Further exploration reveals multiple docking boards and additional Reclaimers docked at the station, indicating that the feature is functional but still a work in progress. The tester experiences some minor issues like being repositioned unexpectedly, but overall expresses satisfaction with the progress. They highlight that this docking capability will be essential for the Reclaimer’s future role in salvage and crafting within the game.
The video concludes with the creator expressing optimism that this feature will become stable in upcoming patches and live releases. They encourage viewers to stay tuned for more updates and mention the upcoming release of Battlefield 6, signaling their continued engagement with gaming content. Overall, the video provides a hopeful glimpse into the evolving mechanics of Star Citizen with the 4.3.2 patch.
