In the video, the creator shares their excitement after achieving the “senior citizen” rank in cargo hauling missions in Star Citizen. After weeks of grinding, they are now able to complete their cargo hauling mission and reputation guide videos. They highlight the various senior-ranked cargo hauling contracts available, showcasing their lucrative payouts and manageable cargo sizes. The creator emphasizes the need for filters to sift through the numerous available missions, making it easier to identify the most rewarding ones.
The video details several specific senior-ranked cargo missions, including a solar medium cargo haul that pays 93k for picking up aluminum and delivering to three locations. Other missions mentioned include a 110k cargo haul with an extra delivery location and a 122k mission that involves picking up two different items from one location. The creator notes that these missions are feasible for solo players using larger ships like the Hercules M2 or C2, but can be completed more efficiently with friends using smaller cargo ships.
As the creator embarks on a selected mission that pays 126k, they explain their strategy for picking up cargo. They prefer to take larger boxes (8 SCU or 16 SCU) while leaving behind smaller boxes (1 SCU or 2 SCU) to save time during the delivery process. The creator mentions a viewer’s comment regarding submission percentages, clarifying that players can complete a mission even if they do not deliver all the cargo, as long as they meet a minimum percentage.
Upon reaching the delivery locations, the creator demonstrates their method for separating the cargo during the unloading process. They provide a detailed account of how much cargo is delivered to each location, noting that they intentionally leave behind some smaller boxes. After completing the deliveries, they reveal their earnings from the mission and confirm that the pay was not affected by the missing cargo. They also check their reputation, which shows positive growth despite the incomplete delivery.
In conclusion, the creator emphasizes the importance of striving for excellence in real life, contrasting it with their in-game strategy of leaving some cargo behind for efficiency. They reflect on the time taken to complete the mission, noting that it could be finished in about an hour while earning over 120k. The video serves as both a guide for players looking to optimize their cargo hauling missions and a reminder to apply a strong work ethic in their personal and professional lives.
