In the video, Manx compares three salvage heads—the Cinch, Troller, and Araid—on the Star Citizen Misfortune ship, finding that the Araid head is the fastest and most efficient for salvaging panels, completing the task in just 39 seconds. He notes that while the Araid excels for panels, the Troller may be better suited for larger ships, and invites viewers to share their own experiences.
In this episode of Star Citizen with Manx, the focus is on determining the best salvage head for the new ship, the Misfortune. Manx tests three different salvage heads: the Cinch, the Troller, and the Araid, timing how long each takes to salvage one full Standard Component Extraction Unit (SCEU). The goal is to find out which head is most efficient for salvaging panels on ships.
Starting with the Cinch head, Manx notes that it has a smaller diameter of 1.2 meters, a speed of 5.7, and an efficiency of 0.86. During the test, it took 1 minute and 50 seconds to salvage one full SCEU. This time serves as the baseline for comparison with the other two heads.
Next, the Troller head is tested. It showed a significant improvement over the Cinch, taking only 1 minute and 9 seconds to complete the same salvage task. Manx highlights the Troller’s better performance, noting a roughly 40-second faster time than the Cinch. This makes the Troller a much more efficient option in this test scenario.
Finally, Manx tests the Araid head, which has a diameter of 2.8 meters, a speed of 1.4, and an efficiency of 77. Surprisingly, the Araid outperforms both previous heads by a large margin, completing the salvage in just 39 seconds. Based on these results, Manx concludes that the Araid is the best salvage head for the Misfortune when it comes to salvaging panels.
Manx wraps up by inviting viewers to share their experiences with different salvage heads, suggesting that while the Araid is best for panels, the Troller might be better suited for larger ships like a Caterpillar.
