I was finally able to try the game thanks to the Free Fly event, and I've enjoyed it so much I went ahead and picked up a cheap starter so I can continue my adventures after the event sis over (and restart them whenever the 4.0 wipe comes, haha). A large part of my enjoyment came from the various forms of mining and especially salvaging, and a big part of my interest in those activities came from watching your videos over the past few months. Thanks for making videos like this one and showing how interesting the game can be for folks like me, who typically don't enjoy combat situations as primary gameplay loops.
Enjoy! Take nay sayers with a grain of salt, but understand that they can be frustrated with what they feel is a slow dev pace. Other than that, enjoy the game your way! I suggest finding a group of players or at least one other buddy to get into sticky situations with!
Yeah I've been running around with a friend who bought a starter package years ago but never really played much, we've both been enjoying it. It's a buggy mess, and sometimes it's frustrating that I just give up and play something else for the night (which has already happened twice in the 7-ish days I've been playing lol), but honestly I paid more for Starfield than I did for the starter package I got last night and that game still has plenty of bugs too. Even with the bugs, this game has turned out to be closer to what I want from a space game than any others I've tried, hopefully development doesn't take it in a direction I hate but even if that happens I'll feel like I got my money's worth if I get 6-12 months of casual enjoyment from it!
You’ll have fun. There will be bugs, but there will also be workarounds for most of them if you have patience. It’s not easy for CIG to juggle constant development with an existing perfect playable experience but they do better than a lot people give them credit for. I’m HavenDL in game if you need some assistance. o7
@@ThornedLily Always major bugs around free fly events but before and after, still bit buggy but way less and is playable.. i do not really play when free fly is on because of this....
@@oldman1111 Mostly salty because there is insane grind in the game unless you resort to exploits. That then everyone get mad at anyways. And most of the features being half baked or broken. This is clearly a Beta test designed to punish people who dont whale into the pledges. This on its own wouldnt have been much of an issue if it wherent for the entire community trying to state that wipes are no longer a thing. And if they toned the grind down and actually treated it like a beta version, I wouldnt mind the wipes either. Personally got burned out along with my friend after playing for a year. But the impending wipe and problems we often encountered, on top of the grind, made us burn out totally. Maybe we will play again once wipes actually do calm down. Which means 1.0. Unless something really good happens to remove the excessive grind they put in for the sake of pushing players into their overpriced pledges. Returned to Elite and X4 for my space games. And honestly... Playing SC made me remember what I missed about Elite. Proper Consistency and no fear of spending 100+ hours to grind up for a single ship for a wipe to remove it... Also gotta love how the community begs for the wipes to happen in the first place to erase the fun for those unwilling to spend life savings on a single unfinished game... Got better early access games to waste my time with.
This is the Future of Star Citizen. When they add NPC crew and AI Blades, this is all it will be. Content creators and people with a ton of money, spending thousands of dollars to have a glorified warship that escorts their small mining/cargo ship.
I wouldnt say best, but it is most likely one of the very few uses you could use it for solo. Anything else, like its intended purpose of warfare and engineering will fuck up those solo players. Ill still fly mine solo, but out of harms reach. Safely tucked away with shields to max and me ready to skip town as soon as someone engages me.
@@wafflesinsanityi would use the oddysey, and i think most people will instead of the polaris. Has more exploration amanities to be able to use it as a base. Hangar is bigger too.
"Boring" gameplay is so underrated and misunderstood. Logistics gameplay and mining and salvage are all fun and engaging for the type of mind that gravitates towards math, efficiency, process oriented tasks etc. Too many combat players think you have to kill something to have any fun but really fun is just what's fun to the individual 😊❤
Doing industrial type of gameplay always puts me right in the RP mood. Just one more shipment and I can get home to my family in the A18 slums. Reminds me of Hardspace: Shipbreaker opening cinematic.
@@thomasinlondon2849agreed. Most people take all the little things for granted. Like tractoring a 36 SCU with a multi-tool? Not happening. Is that 36SCU box in zero G? Sure, go nuts. It makes sense, but they couldve just skipped shit like that.
Also keep in mind how more motivating it will become when we salvage and mine to craft items and build our bases. It will no longer be just for the sake of getting AUEC. We'll actually need these materials
One thing I found fun was if you park the Vulture right outside of the cargo bay, you can use the tractor beam inside the Polaris to pull the boxes out of the Vulture and it's quite speedy since it's a ship based, beam.
Love the ratio of sped up parts and taking the time to acknowledge the awesome views. Totally agree that it looks majestic how the Polaris takes off. Love it, thanks!
This is why I really want a Liberator. I want to be able to load up a Vulture, Prospector and (if I'm lucky) an Expanse. To just be able to go out and do things like this, on my own or with a very small group. Thank you for showing this, its something I've been curious/wondering about.
The exact reason I wanted a Polaris or a Liberator was to do this exact loop. Way more efficient.🎉 Friends aren't always around to game with, thus making it much more convenient.
@@johnpi2608 This is the way. You park it pointed to one side and raise that elevator to lower the fence, leaving the back of the ship centered. Then you even have room to open the ramp without any collision at all.
Having the possibility to close down/open the doors of your ships within range via your mobi glass would be very appreciated for us industrialists...CIG.Excellent vid👽
I mean just because it CAN be used how it is in the video doesn't mean its efficient in any way lol. It would have been 100x easier and faster for him to do the same thing... without the polaris. Like your point is kinda like "everyone says the 100i is bad for fighting, BUT LOOK, I destroyed another ship"
18:35 This. This right here is why I absolutely love mining. I've done my time in militarized RP orgs, spent hundreds of hours in combat, and your points explain exactly how I feel about mining. This mentality should be the bread and butter of the game imo. Do what you like because you enjoy it
Thanks Farrister. I've been jazzed about this idea since I saw that a vulture would fit. In the past, I tried to get a Vulture to sit on the top of my Carrack's hangar bay doors, but the Carracks hill geometry just would not allow the Vultures landing gear make contact so that when I moved the Carrack, the Vulture would just float away. So again, Thanks! 😁👍
A tip for the vulture, you can fit 25 1scu boxes in its cargo bay and fill your station again and do 38 scu in one trip! Cargo no longer damages your ship bouncing around off cargo grid, and you can really cram it
LOVE the ship experimentation that SC provides. New ships in and of themselves are nice and all, but finding new ways to tackle different loops is the most exciting thing for me. Been playing with ways to take bounty/Vaughn missions, commandeer one of the ships, fly it back to my station, unload the cargo and strip the weapons/components, and scrape it with my vulture to maximize profits, which has been such an interesting, unique, and immersive form of gameplay for me. SC is buggy and frustrating, but an absolutely SINGULAR experience. This is 😚👌
I was doing this the same time you did this video lol. Same vulture skin also lol. It's much easier if you park the back of the vulture toward the front of the ship so you have direct access to the cargo lifts. And when landing the polaris in your hanger, park it up and to the right of the hanger. Doing this will allow you to use the ship tractor beam inside the polaris cargo bay to yeet the boxes right into your hanger's cargo elevator. It's also really good at soloing vhrt's, so you can salvage the wrecks left behind. The pdc's will kill small fighters for you and try to kill medium fighters also. The top turrets need to be swapped to something other than default guns for them to be more effective, but they still get the job done.
something I hadn't thought about until you said it, take my polaris and reclaimer and use the reclaimer to reclaim the polaris... i am usually upstanding but ironically enough my weak point is the unverified salvage missions
4.0 broke the bed logging for Polaris. Looking forward to giving this method a try once they fix some issues. Last time I played salvage loop, you had to unload the storage every 2 scu... It was awful. Didnt even know they changed salvage for vulture.
You're like that dude in the Squadron 42 video who had wacky settings on the turret so the main character had to reset the thing. "Oh look, you've got the Vulture that Farrister used. Isn't the guy that doesn't use the gimbal? Those control are gonna be jacked! Haha" Its cool man, you scrape those panels however works for you, youve done a more than adequate job of trying it the gimbal way.
Definitely gonna utilize my Polaris as a Carrier ship/extra cover fire for using my Vulture. Plus the extra storage is helpful. Yes, I'm sure most people would just say use or reclaimer. However sometimes I just like going out on my own and using my vulture when I'm not out with my teammates.
for those that dont know, do not skip signatures that say 3000, i have found abandonded 890 j's and C2's to scrub under those signature #'s in Aaron Halo.
looking forward to possibly doing this same scenario with the ironclad. Hope the vulture will fit through the top doors... If it does, it's a perfect combo.
i also bought a Polaris and i can say im very happy with it and with my daily diver the terrepin its a very good rounded combo ...so now im playing with both my favorite ships 🎉🎉🎉🎉
It’s so much nicer salvaging this way, the Polaris feels more like a home than the grimy reclaimer and you’re not bouncing seat to seat(once you’re out salvaging. This way is definitely less profitable but I’ll take this any day now
didn't know the hanger bay door actually closed with the vulture in it :o my experimenting with it just...closed my bird in the door and uhsploded it :| love me some space powerwash...so relaxing! turn on some space banjo and just let the world drift away!
just know that for mining in pyro with a prospector, having a polaris will be a rly huge advantage because the vulture or the prospector will have enough fuel to go to mining zone but not enough to come back to a refinery and dont forget that refueling stations are rly rare and far away from each other in pyro. so if u want the rare minerals , you will need a big ship for transportation of the ship itself AND the goods you collect cuz the qt fuel isnt free and go mining 12 scu with almost 25% of inert material wont even pay the fuel even if rare materials are more presents on pyro
first of all im pretty sure its if it sits it fits, also if you aimed the front pokey arms towrads the front of the polaris you can just easily slot them in there and it takes like a couple of seconds
I was looking for a reason to use my Polaris, might be more profitable than box missions. Like the paints for this ship, very pretty. Thing is repair costs on the Polaris are already runing into 1.5+m aUEC, and it wont get cheaper, especially with CIG pushing for ships to be repaired, as opposed to unnecessarily claimed. Interesting take on salvage.
I always enjoy your view point on star citizen fun you are so positive i think there is alot of star citizen bashing and it gets old hearing that we know what we know about star citizen if you dont like it dont play if you do enjoy yourself
It really is. Since the cargo update, I park a hauler and my Vulture at a random-ish chosen Lagrange point, scrape and store until I can fill up the hauler and go sell it. Maybe not as efficient as Farrister's method here, but I don't own a Polaris. Very chill time if you don't mind slinging boxes. Filling up a Starlancer with 1scu boxes is kind of mind numbing.
That’s basically kinda what I’m doing. Expect lol 😂 my org and I do bounty hunting then salvage the destroyed ships making bank. Plus being able to take pretty much everything in the ships are a huge plus. We normally make about 10 million after each run. Then we have another two guys sitting 30-50k out in their vultures until we clear the area. Super fun all the way around and everyone gets an awesome pay day.
Now make me wish for a small concept industrial carrier XD Crew 1-3 player, can carry one small industrial ship with a cargo bay next to the hanger Say 2 turrets (top and bottom), living quarters, medical bed/room, and good range and endurance, and very thick armour and strong shields....
Polaris $975 Vulture $175 Total: $1150 (Have to takeoff and land, only produce 1 scu box for 26 scu max) Reclaimer $400 (Less work, everything contained in one package, produce up to 16 scu boxes for 480 scu total) Polaris and vulture is way less efficient than simply soloing a reclaimer.
Wondering if it’s an idea to take something like the caterpillar out, fill it full of panels. Then take the panels back to a base, get the vulture out and scrape a ton of panels, then fill the caterpillar up with boxes of rmc as you go.
great minds think a like LOL this is why I got a Polaris also why I got a Liberator and the Ironclad ( but dont think the ironclad will let the Vulture fit but we will have to see ) i would have opened the side doors and filled the cargo bay that way I think more risk if other players are about though. also me load a ALTS to help off loading
Yes on the Kraken, they showed it during citzon this year, Liberator should fit but can’t confirm until it comes out. It should be too tall for the Ironclad but may work, however the Prospector should fit in all the above. Therefore, the upcoming leaked Misc Fortune should fit in all of them too.
@@Guardian_Templar The Kraken is an aircraft carrier, it should fit. In the Liberator perhaps at the roof, but it's unclear how that will work to Quantum jump.
@ yeah, just noting that they showed the Vulture on the Kraken on Day 1 of citcon and it was on the small pad, which gives me hope it may stick to the liberator. Eitherway, the fortune should fit that small salvage craft need.
Has anyone been able to bedlog in the Polaris? The captain's room isn't available yet and I tried the bunks and it doesn't show the LOG OUT option from those beds..
@farrister why did you even park the vulture back to empty the cargo? Why not just hang it near the ramps and quickly move the cargo in and close the ramp again?, rinse, repeat l. Saves the parking difficulties
[Question] Is it possible to open your Polaris Hangar roof whilst in a fighter for instance, or does it need to be done within the Hangar, and whilst the roof is open, can another uninvited ship land?
not gonna lie,, im MAD i didnt think of this myself. I was about to do some panels and thought man it be nice not having to fly back to my hanger to unload or risk leaving a cargo ship out in the open to offload..... i was hoping the Drake Cutter was gonna be a smaller salvage ship to do this very thing but CIG missed that opportunity. This will have to do till they let me have my Kraken
I don't like how all the ship interiors are so loud. We're so far away from engineering in the Polaris with multiple bulkheads and the engines are outside on spars. Why is the cockpit at the bow so noisy?
Now the question is - can we buy extra saddle bags for a Prospector.... Fill up a couple of saddlebags, change them up & then keep on mining away and filling up those saddlebags with valuable loot.
The Liberator will be the best since it is an external landing pad, no hangar to try and fly into. Plus, you can open the front door on the Liberator and land on the front external pad to unload the Vulture’s cargo bay into the Liberator.
they give some skins out for free during lumanares {christmas} or you can buy them in the pledge store for most all the ships. also there are a few skins available in game for in game currency as well. all skins are specific to each type of ship they are not universal
I cannot wait for 4.0.3 (prolly gonna take until .3 to be stable enough to do the following lol) Going to buy a truckload of food and drink and stock up the Polaris, toss in the Vulture and disappear for weeks.
it would be cool if you can arrange an org level salvage mission, where you take 1 polaris, multiple fighter escorts, 10 vultures, 2 caterpillars, 3 rclaimers and a total crew of 50-70. polaris can server as the shield and it's huge cargo capacity will come in handy.
@@moebeans72 yeah thats what i am saying, take a crew of 50-70 and work in shifts. 1 shift can work for 3 hours and the rest can logout on the beds, then the other will work and the rest can log out. use the immersive gameplay to its full extent hoping the server wont crash

the best "music" to my ears is the Polaris and retaliator. you get to hear the hums and roars of the engines.
I hope Vulture will fit in Ironclad. If so, this would be great salvage base.
almost certain the ironclad is too short on that roof to fit it in. Maybe with the roof opened but that's definitely not optimal.
Was thinking the same
This looks like the best way to solo salvage :)

Thing is repair costs on the Polaris are already runing into 1.5+m aUEC, and it wont get cheaper, especially with CIG pushing for ships to be repaired, as opposed to unnecessarily claimed. Interesting take on salvage.
I always enjoy your view point on star citizen fun you are so positive i think there is alot of star citizen bashing and it gets old hearing that we know what we know about star citizen if you dont like it dont play if you do enjoy yourself
can't wait to see what you can get for a full polaris of RMC
A lot!!
Another big advantage of the Polaris over the Reclaimer - offloading - though the Reclaimer can make those nice 16 scu containers
Salvaging seems so peaceful. I may have just found my role
It really is. Since the cargo update, I park a hauler and my Vulture at a random-ish chosen Lagrange point, scrape and store until I can fill up the hauler and go sell it. Maybe not as efficient as Farrister's method here, but I don't own a Polaris. Very chill time if you don't mind slinging boxes. Filling up a Starlancer with 1scu boxes is kind of mind numbing.
Once the ironclad comes out, this is gonna be a great use for it ❤
That’s basically kinda what I’m doing. Expect lol 😂 my org and I do bounty hunting then salvage the destroyed ships making bank. Plus being able to take pretty much everything in the ships are a huge plus. We normally make about 10 million after each run. Then we have another two guys sitting 30-50k out in their vultures until we clear the area. Super fun all the way around and everyone gets an awesome pay day.
I really love your videos! :)
Now make me wish for a small concept industrial carrier XD
Crew 1-3 player, can carry one small industrial ship with a cargo bay next to the hanger
Say 2 turrets (top and bottom), living quarters, medical bed/room, and good range and endurance, and very thick armour and strong shields....
Absolutely love These Videos.
I wish that SC would fix that tipping up on the front end when taking off. It’s dumb that it does that. I often damage the Vulture!
Great perspective :)
Polaris $975
Vulture $175
Total: $1150
(Have to takeoff and land, only produce 1 scu box for 26 scu max)
Reclaimer $400
(Less work, everything contained in one package, produce up to 16 scu boxes for 480 scu total)
Polaris and vulture is way less efficient than simply soloing a reclaimer.
its not about efficiency, its about enjoyment
he should take Polaris and Vulture to fight VHRT in solo and salvage those ship, which Reclaimer can't do.
@@whap_s enjoy a Alien cool ass space dumpster truck is more enjoyable
I payed 300 for my Polaris and 120 for my vulture. Both have LTI.
With cargo now being a thing, no the reclaimer is a pia to unload.
It was the best way when all you had to do was auto sell.
It would be cool if the reclaimer had enough (well designed) space to fit a vulture. It would be the best combo for a party of 2
now that the PDS will shoot any hostile ships it would probably be good for doing HRT or similar then salvaging and looting the wrecks
Interesting idea!
Wondering if it’s an idea to take something like the caterpillar out, fill it full of panels. Then take the panels back to a base, get the vulture out and scrape a ton of panels, then fill the caterpillar up with boxes of rmc as you go.
Polaris is truly the best ship for solo box delivery. Very fast and small
I’m not alone as I also move the ship when scraping
So civilised
I always thought it was more fun to just move the ship instead of using the gimbals.
I firmly believe gimbaled scrapers are explicitly for KBM heathens like me.
The vulture currently falls out of the Polaris in the latest 4.0 builds when going into quantum
great minds think a like LOL this is why I got a Polaris also why I got a Liberator and the Ironclad ( but dont think the ironclad will let the Vulture fit but we will have to see )
i would have opened the side doors and filled the cargo bay that way I think more risk if other players are about though.
also me load a ALTS to help off loading
you should have just opened up one of the ramps and backed up the Vulture to the open cargo bay and threw them on to the cargo grid straight away.
Where else will a Vulture fit into? Liberator, Ironclad, Kraken?
Yes on the Kraken, they showed it during citzon this year, Liberator should fit but can’t confirm until it comes out. It should be too tall for the Ironclad but may work, however the Prospector should fit in all the above. Therefore, the upcoming leaked Misc Fortune should fit in all of them too.
And 890j it's tight but it fits
@@Guardian_Templar The Kraken is an aircraft carrier, it should fit. In the Liberator perhaps at the roof, but it's unclear how that will work to Quantum jump.
@ yeah, just noting that they showed the Vulture on the Kraken on Day 1 of citcon and it was on the small pad, which gives me hope it may stick to the liberator. Eitherway, the fortune should fit that small salvage craft need.
You can park Bucaneer in cargo bay and Vulture in hangar then take bounty kill it with Bucaneer salvage with Vulture and unload in Polaris
I tried to do this but never got around to actually trying to salvage - it was such a pfaff
Has anyone been able to bedlog in the Polaris? The captain's room isn't available yet and I tried the bunks and it doesn't show the LOG OUT option from those beds..
@farrister why did you even park the vulture back to empty the cargo? Why not just hang it near the ramps and quickly move the cargo in and close the ramp again?, rinse, repeat l. Saves the parking difficulties
[Question] Is it possible to open your Polaris Hangar roof whilst in a fighter for instance, or does it need to be done within the Hangar, and whilst the roof is open, can another uninvited ship land?
not gonna lie,, im MAD i didnt think of this myself. I was about to do some panels and thought man it be nice not having to fly back to my hanger to unload or risk leaving a cargo ship out in the open to offload..... i was hoping the Drake Cutter was gonna be a smaller salvage ship to do this very thing but CIG missed that opportunity. This will have to do till they let me have my Kraken
I plan tu use my vulture with my ironclad so the hangar is not an issue
has CIG said they are removing the ability for the vulture to fit in the polaris?
The Polly kills target the vulture consumes it leaving nothing and bam bounty and salvage. And no traces left
I don't like how all the ship interiors are so loud. We're so far away from engineering in the Polaris with multiple bulkheads and the engines are outside on spars. Why is the cockpit at the bow so noisy?
next time you should bring an ATLS for the unloading! :)
I bought another whilst I was down at Area 18!
So cool
What sort of profit did that haul bring in? I was disappointed you cut that part out!
Salvaging don't make as much profit as it used. Scrappers aren't going to be millionaires by scrapping but by trading valuable materials.
full Vulture brings @33-35 scu depending on your level of lego talent. 420-450k per sale at New Babbage.
@@stephenhodges9388and how much to refuel the Polaris? Am guessing the margins are not great
What I would do. Dont land inside instead turn near to cargo ramp and from there just transfer crates to hangar. I think it would be better ?
Does the Huge polaris scanner have a role toplay? or is scanning for space trach the same in all ships?
Are you able to "m,unch" the panels after scraping them for a little extra profit? or is it better to just focus on scraping?
Now the question is - can we buy extra saddle bags for a Prospector.... Fill up a couple of saddlebags, change them up & then keep on mining away and filling up those saddlebags with valuable loot.
You parked your Vulture like you were drunk flying.
I imagine the Odyssey will be better for this when it arrives.
Probably not. The Vulture fits fine. Farrister was obviously drunk or in a rush.
The Liberator will be the best since it is an external landing pad, no hangar to try and fly into. Plus, you can open the front door on the Liberator and land on the front external pad to unload the Vulture’s cargo bay into the Liberator.
@@alandabor he was in New Babbage during IAE.
Icebreaker Polaris Skin Soon(tm)
I see many abandoned Polaris ships around Microtech due to the lag created by the IAE event. Have you tried to salvage one of them yet?
I have, It is about the same as a hammer head you get about 10scu more on the bigger sides from the polaris
Tried the polaris and the vulture it was fun and how did you get the gimbals to workk
G key or in settings search for gimbal weapons, I think.
@justinmunzlinger8471 I did that but it still doesn't do anything I can only gimbal when I freelook
Can you skin ships you buy in-game?
they give some skins out for free during lumanares {christmas} or you can buy them in the pledge store for most all the ships. also there are a few skins available in game for in game currency as well. all skins are specific to each type of ship they are not universal
Once the ironclad comes out, if the vulture fits, its gonna sit
Oh yes!
I cannot wait for 4.0.3 (prolly gonna take until .3 to be stable enough to do the following lol)
Going to buy a truckload of food and drink and stock up the Polaris, toss in the Vulture and disappear for weeks.
basically a really expensive Reclaimer with extra steps.
should do some bounty hunting salvage gameplay.
it would be cool if you can arrange an org level salvage mission, where you take 1 polaris, multiple fighter escorts, 10 vultures, 2 caterpillars, 3 rclaimers and a total crew of 50-70. polaris can server as the shield and it's huge cargo capacity will come in handy.
The cargo bay from the Polaris is ithe only place to store torpedoes and also ammo and replacements for itself and for the ships in the upper deck.
Add a couple of carraks to the list
Or a kraken when it's available
That’d take days to get one full paycheck 😭
@@moebeans72 yeah thats what i am saying, take a crew of 50-70 and work in shifts. 1 shift can work for 3 hours and the rest can logout on the beds, then the other will work and the rest can log out. use the immersive gameplay to its full extent hoping the server wont crash
It would be better if you could remotely open and close the hangar doors of the polaris
I put my vulture into my Polaris and when I opened the cargo area on the vulture in the back the ship disappeared.
