The video provides an early look at the MISC Fortune, a new salvage vessel in Star Citizen, designed with four functional sections for processing salvaged materials, living space, and a flight deck. While it offers a unique approach to salvaging compared to the Vulture, it has limitations such as a lack of dedicated cargo space and the inability to accommodate larger vehicles.
In the video, La the West provides an early look at the MISC Fortune, an upcoming ship in the Star Citizen universe. The Fortune is designed as a salvage vessel, taking inspiration from the Prospector chassis but extending it for more internal space. This design allows for a more industrial approach to salvaging, as the ship is structured into four distinct sections separated by sliding doors, enhancing its functionality.
The first section of the Fortune features a lift that provides access to the ship, flanked by component lockers. The second section is dedicated to processing salvaged materials, equipped with six pads on either side that generate cubes from collected materials. This feature simplifies the process of collecting, storing, and moving materials, as it connects conveniently to a freight elevator. Additionally, there is a crafting station similar to that found in the Vulture, allowing players to create small items from salvaged materials.
The third section of the Fortune serves as the hab area, which includes essential amenities like a bed, engineering terminal, food dispenser, storage locker, and a bathroom with a shower. This area enhances the ship’s livability, making it suitable for longer missions. The final section is the flight deck, which maintains the wide-open bubble canopy seen in the Prospector, providing excellent visibility for pilots.
When comparing the Fortune to the Vulture, La highlights both advantages and disadvantages. One downside of the Fortune is the lack of a dedicated cargo bay for storing extra components and weapons, which the Vulture offers. Players may need to rely on the ship’s internal cabin space for storage, which could limit efficiency. Additionally, the Fortune may not accommodate larger vehicles, only allowing for smaller ones like a PTV or ranger.
Overall, La concludes that the MISC Fortune presents an interesting alternative to the Vulture, offering a unique approach to salvaging rather than being a direct upgrade. With its specific design features and functionalities, the Fortune is positioned to provide players with a different experience in the Star Citizen universe, making it a noteworthy addition to the game.
