Salvage is shaping up to be one of the most profitable as well as relaxing Professions in Star Citizen. With the addition of Structural Salvage I knew it was time to finally release my Beginner's guide to Salvage!

    The Vulture has become my favorite ship. Most chill way to make aUEC without too many extra steps.
  • @KMILORD
    you've showed a lot of tips and functions that other guides didn't even mention, thanks!
  • thanks for the tutorial. Just got into Star Citizen three days ago and met my first chill dude waiting to reclaim my ship. We partied up and he let me take a spin on his vulture to scrape a panel he found. It was my first shared gameplay experience on SC. For two days before that, I was just bumming it around after work for a few hours successfully completing one small fry mission and dying to another due to my own incompetence or bugs. I was floored when we made 158k on a simple run (He kept that and donated money for my own. Love this game community). Thanks for a full rundown of the mechanics o7
  • @Cyco-Dude
    A pretty solid and well-done introductory salvage video. Seems like you covered all the bases.
  • @HexOgram
    I normally bunker run like a mad dog to get those sweet, sweet auec. After coming back from a year break, I saved up to get the Vulture. My God, it is so relaxing, a good change from the constant combat I find myself in
  • @ghazman6141
    I took a C2 Salvage mission and made over 600K in just two trips to Orison. The mission only cost 50K and I got that back just off the gold and Q in the hold.
  • @stormy4588
    Great video, helped to guide me through my first salvage mission after buying my new vulture.
  • @SatyricL
    If you have the time and willpower you can fit a total of 26 SCU (14 off grid) in the back. You just have to pull the loose ones out and load them from front to back from the rear door instead. Also, when your scrapers are in gimble mode, you can press Z for SUPER gimble mode, which allows them to reach anything on your screen without moving. (Not sure if intended)
  • @MseeBMe
    As a new player, this was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
  • @Plastic_Spaceman
    Looking to purchase a Vulture for my next ship. This was super helpful! o7
  • @CaptWinky
    I find salvaging one of the most relaxing game loops currently. I love ripping everything off a ship and adding it to my other ships later. It doesn’t hurt that it pays so much right now.
  • @mikegeldert
    How can you determine a ship is derelict ? I would like to just find them, and not have to depend on the missions. Thanks for your video, it helps. Best Regards Mike.
  • @theeldestrelic
    Cutlass black scrap missions, fracture it. 80k. Done, repeat.
  • @JakeIsLearning
    Hey my dude. Just got the game and getting in to Salvaging. Thank you so much for this! (Yukoko is my in game name. Say hi if you see me!)
  • @allesokay6935
    Its dangerous to put more scu in that thing that there should be. Got me exoloding twice today.
  • @dazlow82
    Just started playing after a year break this is what I'm going for lol only 800k to grind
  • @JohnnyDoom
    Ooh, what is the background music you're using that sounds like deadwood/firefly?
  • @SpaceDad42
    Hmmm. I’ve not tried yet, but do you know if you can disintegrate and munch the salvage panels?
  • @RavingNut
    I don't know why, but my scrapers heads don't auto calibrate (focus) to the hull I'm scraping anymore. Only when im gimbaled do they focus onto the area I'm facing 😢, I'm not a fan of gimbals on the Vulture.
