The video reviews the MISC Fortune, a new salvage starter ship in Star Citizen 4.0.1, highlighting its unique design and features, but noting its slow salvage capabilities compared to the Drake Vulture. While it serves as a decent option for new salvagers, the host ultimately prefers the Vulture for its efficiency and handling, and concludes with a giveaway announcement for a Star Citizen game package.
The video reviews the MISC Fortune, a new salvage starter ship introduced in the Star Citizen 4.0.1 patch, which has transitioned from the Public Test Universe (PTU) to the live environment. The MISC Fortune is designed similarly to the MISC Prospector, a mining ship, featuring a living space that includes an engineering terminal and a bathroom. The review highlights the ship’s unique aspects, such as its salvage terminals and an interesting layout that includes windows, which set it apart from other ships in its category.
During the review, the host explores the ship’s cockpit, which provides an unobstructed view, and discusses the ship’s exterior features, including the cargo eject hatches. The host sets out to test the salvage capabilities of the MISC Fortune by heading to a known salvage area. However, they encounter issues with trespassing near a station and find that the salvageable panels they expected to locate are no longer present, leading them to take on a salvage contract instead.
As the host attempts to gather salvage materials, they note that the Fortune’s stock salvage head is slow and inefficient compared to other ships like the Drake Vulture. Despite completing a salvage contract, the host struggles to collect enough material to fill the storage and eject a box of salvage. The review emphasizes the slow pace of gathering materials, which can be frustrating for players looking for efficiency in their salvage operations.
The video continues with the host visiting a different salvage target and successfully ejecting a box of salvage. They discuss the crafting capabilities of the Fortune, which allows players to create small items and tools. The review also touches on the ship’s external cargo grid, which can hold multiple SCUs, although the host expresses uncertainty about its stacking capabilities.
In conclusion, while the MISC Fortune serves as a decent starter ship for aspiring salvagers, the host ultimately prefers the Drake Vulture due to its better handling and faster material collection. The video wraps up with a giveaway announcement for a Star Citizen game package that includes the MISC Fortune, encouraging viewers to participate. The host expresses gratitude to the community and patrons for their support, promising more content in the future.
