In the video, the gameplay focuses on solo salvaging using the Reclaimer in Star Citizen 3.23. The host discusses the profitability of salvage panels, emphasizing the time and patience required to find them. While the Vulture is a popular choice for salvage due to its speed and efficiency, the Reclaimer offers significantly more storage space, which presents its own set of challenges. The gameplay is presented in a sped-up format to condense the lengthy process of piloting the ship and searching for salvage panels.
The host begins by spawning the Reclaimer and quickly transitions to the pilot seat, highlighting the time-consuming process of getting airborne. They head to a designated area, Mike L1, to search for salvage panels among asteroids. The scanning process is described as slower with the Reclaimer compared to the Vulture, which may impact the efficiency of locating salvage. The host notes that the search for salvage panels can be time-intensive, and they check the contracts list for any additional opportunities while scanning.
After some scanning, the host successfully locates a salvage panel with a high signature value. They describe the process of maneuvering the Reclaimer to the panel and the challenges of positioning it correctly for salvaging. The video showcases the salvaging process, including the use of the Reclaimer’s powerful tractor beams to manipulate salvage targets. The host discusses the potential profitability of the salvage panels, mentioning that upcoming patches may alter the balance of salvage rewards.
Despite finding salvage panels, the haul is not particularly large, leading the host to switch to a salvage contract involving a Prowler. They express a preference for guaranteed gameplay over the unpredictability of searching for panels. The video emphasizes the satisfaction derived from salvaging and the peaceful nature of the gameplay loop, which allows players to engage in the activity at a relaxed pace while still being productive.
The video concludes with the host returning to New Babbage to sell the salvaged materials. They sell the construction materials first, followed by the more valuable RMC, totaling just under half a million Alpha UEC for about an hour of work.
