In this video, Dark Hour 717 provides an update on the Salvage gameplay in Star Citizen patch 3.22. Salvage has evolved from a simple activity into a more complex industrial occupation, similar to mining. The introduction of Salvage missions and the ability to hand salvage and repair smaller amounts of materials have enhanced the gameplay experience. Currently, there are two ships available for Salvage: the Reclaimer and the Vulture. The addition of shipboard tractor beams and the Salvage rifle, called the Cambio SRT, have improved the equipment options for Salvage.
Patch 3.22 also introduced the concept of “munching,” which involves disintegrating the remaining parts of a ship after hole scraping. The vulture and reclaimer have the ability to break down salvaged materials into construction materials. The ships now have a buffer that stores materials until they can be created into crates and stored on the cargo grid. This buffer has increased the profitability of Salvage gameplay, especially for solo players. The buffer can be emptied onto the cargo grid at a later time, allowing for more efficient selling and doubling the holding capacity of the vulture and increasing the reclaimer’s capacity by over 50%.
While Salvage gameplay has seen significant improvements, there are still a few areas that could use some work. For instance, the loss of materials that exceed the buffer’s capacity could be addressed by allowing them to be picked up by another ship or broken down into smaller chunks. Additionally, the size of the doorway into the elevator leading to the cargo hold could be increased to accommodate larger containers. These improvements would make the gameplay experience smoother and safer.
Overall, Salvage gameplay in Star Citizen is working well and is currently one of the fastest ways to earn significant amounts of in-game currency.
