In the video, SaltEMike reacts to the sale of the MISC Fortune Salvage ship, discussing its features, pricing, and the anticipated changes in salvage mechanics compared to the Vulture. He expresses both excitement and some disappointment regarding the ship’s design and functionality while humorously critiquing its promotional marketing.
In the video, SaltEMike discusses the new patch and the sale of the MISC Fortune Salvage ship while waiting for the patch to download. He expresses curiosity about the changes in the salvage mechanics, particularly the claim that the new ship offers a more efficient and faster salvage process despite the confusion around how a single laser could outperform two. He plans to test the Fortune and the Vulture ships, noting the need to keep the volume down due to the late hour. He also references a previous video that provided detailed information about the ship’s specifications.
As he reviews the sale page, SaltEMike highlights that the Fortune’s price is set at $175, or $160 if store credit is used. He mentions the existence of special Festival versions of the ship, which include a $9 paint job. He notes that the ship’s features, such as the cargo dispenser and internal cargo hold, align with expectations from the earlier video. The anticipation builds as he prepares to explore the ship’s capabilities compared to the Vulture.
The Q&A section reveals that the Fortune has a larger Quantum fuel capacity than the Drake Vulture, which SaltEMike sees as a significant differentiation. He discusses the similarities between the salvage arm of the Fortune and that of the Prospector, while also noting the addition of new interior rooms in the Fortune that enhance its functionality. The ship’s salvage capacity is also highlighted, with the Fortune able to hold more salvage than the Vulture, which suggests a shift in the balance of power between the two salvage ships.
SaltEMike explains that the Fortune emphasizes convenience over speed, with features like automatically loading side cargo grids that facilitate easier salvage operations. He expresses some disappointment in the design choices, suggesting that the ship could have been better optimized for specific salvage tasks. He also notes the lack of gameplay synergies between the Fortune and other salvage ships, but remains hopeful for future updates that could enhance these interactions.
Finally, the video concludes with SaltEMike watching a promotional video for the Fortune. He finds the marketing to be over-the-top and humorous, particularly the portrayal of salvaging as a solitary and skillful endeavor. Despite his light-hearted critique of the ad, he conveys enthusiasm for salvaging gameplay and expresses confidence that he will enjoy using the Fortune, given his fondness for the Vulture. Overall, the video encapsulates a mix of anticipation, analysis, and humor as SaltEMike navigates the new features of the MISC Fortune.
