In the video, Law the West introduces the MISC Fortune, a new salvage ship in Star Citizen, highlighting its design similarities to the Prospector and its superior storage capacity of 47 SCU compared to the Vulture’s 39 SCU. While the Vulture offers advantages in speed and handling, the Fortune is praised for its convenience and organized cargo management, making it ideal for players who prefer a more relaxed salvaging experience.
In the video, Law the West introduces viewers to the MISC Fortune, a new flyable salvage ship in Star Citizen. The ship is available for a war bond price of $160 and a standalone cost of $175. At first glance, the Fortune may appear similar to the Prospector, with only subtle differences in its design, such as an elongated body, distinct thrusters, and a different type of storage container. The Fortune features both side and rear entrances, with a lift that can hold cargo or small items, leading to a compartment that houses key ship components.
The video goes on to compare the storage capabilities of the Fortune with those of the Vulture, another salvage ship. The Fortune can carry a total of 47 SCU (Standard Cargo Units) including its external grid, lift, internal buffer, and unstowed cargo, while the Vulture has a maximum capacity of 39 SCU. The Fortune’s design includes windows that improve visibility and reduce a claustrophobic feel, enhancing the overall experience of the ship’s interior.
The interior of the Fortune includes several rooms, such as a hab area with storage, a food dispenser, and a shower, along with a flight deck that offers panoramic views. The ship is equipped with essential components like a gravity generator and life support systems. The video highlights that the Fortune is designed for convenience, allowing players to store and manage salvaged materials more efficiently compared to the Vulture, which relies on manual storage.
While the Vulture has advantages in speed and handling, particularly with its dual scraper heads allowing for faster material collection, the Fortune excels in organization and ease of use. Law emphasizes that the choice between the two ships ultimately comes down to player preference, with the Fortune being more suitable for those who value convenience over speed in their salvaging gameplay.
In conclusion, Law expresses a personal affinity for the Fortune, appreciating its streamlined cargo management and the Zen-like quality of salvaging without the frantic pace. He believes that players who enjoy a more relaxed approach to salvage operations will find the Fortune to be the ideal choice. The video wraps up with a reminder to consider the ship’s features carefully and thanks viewers for watching.
