The video reviews the MISC Fortune, a new salvage ship in Star Citizen, highlighting its design, combat performance, and handling, while noting its suitability for salvage operations over combat due to its limited firepower.

The video provides a detailed review of the MISC Fortune, a new salvage ship in Star Citizen, which offers an alternative to the existing options, namely the Vulture and the Reclaimer. The review is structured into five sections: a ship tour, combat performance, handling and visibility, operating costs, and a summary. The presenter invites viewers to subscribe for more Star Citizen content and includes timestamps for easy navigation through the video.
The ship tour highlights the Fortune’s design and features, including its cargo capacity, habitation area, and salvage terminals. The ship has a total of 16 SCU of cargo storage, with additional space for smaller items. The cockpit offers a panoramic view, enhancing visibility, while the internal layout includes a bed, a toilet, and access to various components. The salvage section is equipped with terminals for managing operations, and the ship’s cargo elevator facilitates loading and unloading.
In terms of combat performance, the Fortune is equipped with two size one weapons, making it underwhelming in combat situations. While it possesses three size one shield generators, its sluggish handling and low firepower limit its effectiveness against enemy ships. The reviewer notes that while the Fortune can technically engage in combat, it is better suited for salvage operations, where it can utilize its capabilities more effectively.
Handling and visibility are praised, as the Fortune offers good maneuverability despite feeling heavier than a fighter. It has a decent speed limit and benefits from vertical thrusters when landing. The ship also boasts impressive range for both hydrogen and quantum fuel, making it suitable for long-distance salvage missions, especially in hazardous areas like Pyro. The operating costs are low, making it a cost-effective option for players.
In summary, the reviewer finds the Fortune to be a fun and unique addition to the salvage gameplay in Star Citizen. While it presents a valid choice alongside the Vulture, the latter has advantages in terms of efficiency and in-game pricing. Ultimately, the reviewer leans towards the Vulture for its practicality but acknowledges the Fortune’s charm and potential. The video concludes with the reviewer inviting viewers to share their thoughts on the ship and encourages engagement through likes and subscriptions.
