In this gameplay video, the player takes on a large salvage contract to strip and scrap a Hammerhead Corvette using a Drake Vulture ship. The Vulture, despite being the smallest salvage ship, is capable of salvaging the largest wrecks with patience and a cargo ship alongside. The player starts by traveling to the salvage location and setting up a respawn point. They then use the M2 Hercules cargo ship to load the recycled materials and remove all the weapons from the Hammerhead. The weapons, valued at around 3,000 credits each, are carefully loaded onto the cargo grid of the M2.
After returning to pick up the Vulture, the player begins the salvaging process. They use the salvage beam to meticulously remove every bit of salvage from the Hammerhead. The salvaging takes about an hour in total, and they make sure to fill up the cargo grid of the Vulture before moving the scrap to the Hercules. They find that salvaging is a more relaxed and less intense gameplay loop compared to mining. Once the salvaging is complete, they head back to Microtech to sell the weapons and scrap.
At Microtech, the player sells the weapons individually, each valued at around 3,000 credits. They then sell the quantum and RMC scrap, which results in a profit of approximately 275,000 credits. Throughout the video, the player shares tips for navigating at night, discusses ship preferences, and expresses their interest in learning quicker ways to sell items. In conclusion, the player successfully completes a large salvage contract and earns a significant profit by stripping and scrapping a Hammerhead Corvette.
