In this video, the player attempts to fit a new weapon into their Caterpillar ship but encounters technical difficulties. They then embark on a night of salvaging with other players, facing challenges and discovering new opportunities in the process.
In this video, the player starts the day with the idea of fitting the new Tumblestorm AA into the Caterpillar ship and shooting it like broadside cannons on a pirate ship. They head to the spaceport to test this idea and then engage in a night of salvaging and cooperation with other industrial ships. They try to load the Tumblestorm AA into the Caterpillar but it is too wide, so they resort to using the old method of driving vehicles onto the ship using the side door. They later discover that the Tumblestorm AA will not fit in the Caterpillar in any practical way, but it is technically possible to carry it in the front compartment if the door remains open.
The player then logs off on the Caterpillar for the night and returns the next day to rendezvous with a group of players for a salvage expedition. They receive a mission to tow an abandoned Hammerhead ship away to prevent authorities from getting it, and then salvage it at a more relaxed pace. They rent an SRV to tow the Hammerhead and start stripping its hull for salvage. They encounter issues like being scanned and arrested for trespassing, but manage to continue with the salvage. They also discover a bug with the tractor beams where boxes become immovable if a second person tries to grab them while they are already being moved.
As more players join, the salvage operation becomes more efficient. They discuss the potential of salvaging guns from abandoned ships and taking on ERT bounties for valuable cargo and salvage opportunities. The cargo on the Caterpillar is organized before they prepare to face the ERT bounties. The video ends with a preview of the upcoming adventures and challenges they will encounter in future episodes.
Overall, the video showcases the player’s exploration of salvaging mechanics in Star Citizen and their collaboration with other players in industrial ships. They encounter challenges with fitting the Tumblestorm AA into the Caterpillar, encounter bugs with tractor beams, and deal with the consequences of illegal salvage missions. The video also highlights the potential for profitable salvage opportunities and the excitement of taking on ERT bounties.
