In the video, the creator explores scrapping ships for profit in Star Citizen 4.0, particularly focusing on dismantling a Polaris with friends using a Vulture and Reclaimer, despite ongoing bugs affecting mission availability. They highlight the relaxing gameplay and camaraderie, ultimately earning around 1.36 million credits but suggest that scrapping may not be the most efficient method of earning compared to future missions.
In the video, the creator discusses the challenges of playing Star Citizen 4.0, particularly the numerous bugs affecting mission availability. With no missions to pursue, the player decides to engage in scrapping ships for profit, specifically using a Polaris and collaborating with friends who have a Vulture or Reclaimer. The plan involves stripping valuable components from the Polaris, including torpedoes, which are currently highly valued in the game. The player emphasizes the importance of securing weapons and equipment before beginning the scrapping process.
As the group begins the scrapping operation, they utilize the Reclaimer’s tractor beam to dismantle the Polaris. The gameplay is described as relaxing and enjoyable, allowing for camaraderie among friends while they work together to break down the ship. Throughout the scrapping, they monitor their progress and the amount of RMC (Recyclable Material Credits) they accumulate, noting that scrapping can lead to significant earnings despite the ongoing bugs in the game.
The player highlights the inefficiencies in the current scrapping mechanics, particularly how the Polaris disintegrates into a single large piece rather than multiple smaller ones. This aspect of the game is pointed out as an area needing improvement, as it complicates the scrapping process and limits the amount of material that can be collected at once. The group continues their work, and as they finish with the first Polaris, they prepare to move on to additional ships for scrapping.
After completing the scrapping operation, the players head to sell their collected RMC. The video details their earnings, which amount to around 1.36 million credits for their efforts. However, the creator reflects on the time investment required for scrapping compared to other methods of earning credits in the game, suggesting that while scrapping can be profitable, it may not be the most efficient way to make money, especially when missions become available again.
In conclusion, the creator urges viewers to consider the current state of scrapping in Star Citizen and encourages them to share their thoughts on the gameplay mechanics. They express hope that future updates will improve the scrapping system and balance the rewards for different activities in the game. The video ends with a call to action for viewers to subscribe, like, and share their content, while wishing everyone fun in their gaming experiences.
