In this video guide, Salty Mike introduces viewers to Ghost Hollow, a dynamic event in Star Citizen 3.19. He explains that this event can only be triggered by players and offers a lucrative opportunity to earn in-game currency. The first step in this mission is to take down the Microtech Comm Array, which allows players to engage in PvP combat freely. Unlike other PvP locations, Ghost Hollow provides the freedom to shoot at anyone without constant monitoring. Mike advises players to position their ships between the solar panels and the main structure of the comm array to protect themselves from missile and gun attacks. After safely landing, players must hack a panel using a crypto key and then proceed to a Quantum travel marker to reach the main location.
Upon arrival, players will encounter NPC Cutlass Black ships with ballistic ammo that spawn to protect Ghost Hollow. Mike recommends bringing along at least one other player, preferably one with a ship equipped with turrets, as they have a larger capacitor and can quickly dispatch these protecting ships. Next, players face the task of clearing the area of ten or more NPC FPS AI enemies on the ground, which can sometimes surprise players in the shipwreck environment. Additionally, landed ships remain vulnerable to continuous waves of NPC Cutlasses. Once the area is secure, players trigger the extractors by visiting a tower and launching the extraction program. This alerts all players on the server that the mission is in progress.
There are three main entrances to access the credit extractors, with each having its advantages. Players are advised to clear all rooms before reaching the console, as there may be players or NPCs present. Once initiated, the extractors can fail with a “30,000 error,” indicated by a yellow icon. In that case, players must manually resolve the issue by clicking on the malfunctioning extractor. Each console allows players to withdraw up to 150,000 credits, with a total maximum of 300,000. The money is then deposited into the player’s account after a certain wait time, based on the amount extracted. Mike mentions the possibility of swapping users to steal someone else’s hacked money, emphasizing the need for players to protect their investments. Lastly, he notes that A2 bombs can kill all individuals inside the wreck, indicating that the area is not a safe zone like Jump Town.
Overall, Mike believes that Ghost Hollow offers a well-designed PvP loop with a good balance between risk and reward. He hopes that this guide helps players understand the mechanics and enjoy both the sneaky money-making opportunities and intense battles in the location. He encourages viewers to like, share, and comment on the video, and concludes by thanking them and expressing anticipation for the next video.
