For what a Reclaimer costs, the interior shouldn't look like something Scooter threw together on Daymar. Because of its size I have yet to be able to call it to a space station and as mentioned, it is quite painful to try to fly this ship into orbit from planet surface (facilities, on Orison).

Great review! Guess I’ll be able to find that manned turret now, if I ever need to.

I love the reclaimer, it needs to be updated, with weapon racks, and a dock compatible with the docking ports on stations to give more spacrborne ports, and the rear of the ship is slightly hard work. I note you didn't mention the weird poop hatch at the rear, I don't know if it still operates, but I did find it an amusing feature.

Love your stuff, Farrister, but this time you forgot something. There's an external hatch at the rear if the salvage area that allows you to throw boxes out of the ship. There's currently no dedicated button or switch for it located anywhere in the ship, but you can activate it by either binding a key to open/close all exterior doors, or using the inner thought menu in the pilot's seat.

In the pilot seat, top left, there's an "Open Exterior" button to open it. There's also a "Lock/Unlock" button, but idk what that does.

You missed the external rear door in the salvage hold deck. Be careful that door can be glitchy. What I am referring to is the place in salvage processing that you threw the box down the hopper.. that hopper is also a door.

I really like my Reclaimer, but I look forward to a slight revamp to the interior, in particular, the cargo bay; there's loads of room that's not well utilised that could be filled properly with salvage, rather than precariously balancing boxes on top of one another, hoping they don't get flung outside of the ship.

I don't even play the game and this is by far my favorite ship aesthetically. Straight up USG Ishimura/Nostromo to the max. Absolutely immersive.

Nice

- Rear needs a rework to make it better for big boxes - Need to allow all turrets to be manned at once

Missed out on the Hatch at the rear of the Salvage hold on the tour.

Could do with a cap shield generator when they’re a thing. But it’s an amazing ship when the lift works. Will be even better when it’s got working drones!

I recently got to experience what it was like having a full crew on this ship. It honestly works so well and generates an absurd amount of money for all involved, getting each of us about 1.2mill aUEC in roughly an hour. There are absolutely things that are out-of-date about it, but even as it is currently it excels in its intended role as you'd hope. Certainly not a ship I could operating alone though, considering the size and how much longer it'd take to get it fully loaded up without people in the back constantly printing out salvage.

I can confirm that you can fit a 32SCU box into a Reclaimer. You will not, however, be able to remove it from the elevator shaft and it does rather scarily bounce around while flying back to the station to sell.............But you can do it.

I grinded for one and I really like it. I think, that at this point of the games development, the reclaimer is really the only viable way to quickly make enough money to support testing all the other game loops.

You can have the return of investment of this ship in 2 days on a relax solo salvage mission. Doable in 1 day, just don't forget to bring your anti depressant meds and energy drinks.

Ship reminds me a lot of the movie Alien, and also quite the flagship who's wreckage is featured in missions, bosses for VHRT bounties, and in Star Citizen promo videos. However the design does show it's age with many things missing, design philosophies not standardized, game items that are not implemented, and glaring errors when compared to other ships. It has some very odd design choices such as; An elevator for 1 person, escape pods for 2 people, a bridge that seats 4, beds and quarters that can sleep 5.

I switch my prospector to a vulture Like I said I was going to do the other day. Made enough in a couple of days to get the C2 use the vulture to make another 4 and a half mill and then I started running cargo with the C2 and I was able to buy my reclamer today! 🎉

i just love the look of the reclaimer. it reminds me somehow of an insect with the "back" and the "feet". but it really handles like a pregnant brick ^^

I recently got one and I fly it solo since I don't have any friend who play. Solo isn't bad. But really slow to get things done. But one of the big salvage missions makes it worth it because I usually get around 1 mill or more aUEC on one trip. More of the ship I'm salvaging has good cargo I can sell. I just hope they do some rework on it to fix some of the issues it has and maybe make it a little easier to fly in atmo haha

You missed a part. In the pilot seat look left and hit open exterior a small elevator pops down to allow boxes to be removed although the 8 and 16 scu act up the 2scu is what works better

Oh I'll have to check that out!

The ship could definitely use a bit of a rework on the interior, but that ship is awesome !

The Reclaimer is probably, now, my most flown ship. Between that and the vulture. I typically play solo, but whenever I do have friends on, they want to play in the Reclaimer. However, I've found out the hard way why its called the re"claim"er as this is the ship that has had the most bugs, for me, when trying to leave a port. Causing me to have to claim it over and over again before it loads properly lol. Although, the 15min or so expedited claim time is soooo much better than the 45min it used to be. In 3.18 if/when the server crashed and I'd have to claim the ship, I'd just log off for the day and try again the next day. I also sincerely hope they rework the flight mechanics or at least let us upgrade the thrusters.

Regardless of where in the economy it sits my reclaimer “Mighty Metal Muncher” retains pride & place at the top of most loved vessel.

Hope CIG restore the Reclaimer to its former aesthetic beauty, if your've never seen it, go check it out in its initial release

9:15 I would, however, not recommend putting the 8s or 16s on the elevator (as someone who has this ship and has worked on one with a friend) because you can potentially cause a rapidly unscheduled catastrophic disassembly of the ship. Yes, I speak from experience...

Bingo. Me and a couple friends were talking about the possibility of a wipe coming then the convo drifted to the odds of a nerf to the SUPER O.P. money makers like reclaimer salvaging. My friend said they could possibly dial back the prices of RMC/CMAT and i replied but that would also hit Vulture salvaging and the vulture is not pulling game breaking levels of $ because its capacity is more limited - then it hit me.. that salvage processing deck, cargo deck and catwalk stuffed with salvage - we just dock the ship when we land and BAM !!! hit the sell terminal.. if in 3.23 cargo has to be moved into a cargo elevator and warehoused before it can be sold - theres your nerf right there in the form of a time sink. No adjustment to prices needed.

Are there ships that simply CANNOT be brought in to atmosphere? I feel like that would be really cool. Having to have a seperate ship in dock waiting because your behemoth is unable to launch due to heft. I'm new to the game and do not know if this already exists.

This ship could be a whole Doom level.

love the ship so far, just wish the rear elevator door opened. you clip through the hull every time you go up, and while it is just a visual thing, its not immersive

The Reclaimer considered one the worst ship in the game for years. Whoa, the Reclaimer can make so much money. Best ship in the game ever. Shows the mentality that gamers use in opinions. Meta is a hell of a drug. Friend of mine bought his years ago for a starter ship. Used it for those years to do everything he possibly could in game. Go big or go home. The only reason he bought a Connie was the easy in and out of the ship.

I honestly would be satisfied with a medium salvage ship that im able to solo. Vulture alright! Paired with my nomad within vicinity to transport goods i make a decent buck. but Vulture scrap holding is way too small when it comes to vanguard up to msr.

I found it stressful to use alone.

Lots of wasted space that could have gotten a cargo grid. Other than that, an absolutely amazing ship

There are a lot of annoying details regarding the Reclaimer: The front elevator has no way of going down when standing inside, there are no storage compartments for storing refreshments for the crew, the multiple small and awkwardly seized cargo grids are difficult to fill correctly, containers keep zooming into space regularly, and ultimately containers just despawn without warning (after exceeding some limit like 100). So handling this ship can be often frustrating. And finally, Crusader hangars keep misbehaving and rendering the ship disfunctional. I had to reclaim the Reclaimer several times, losing hundreds of valuable cargo containers. So, once CIG decides to nerf the prices and missions, reducing the moneymaking substantially, those issues need to be fixed to keep people enjoying the actual salvage gameplay.

A quick google search and found this. Since its production was for military contracts, and Aegis held the military contract for so long. I suppose it makes sense. But lore is nothing more than letters displayed in combinations. It could change. There isn't very much lore about it, but there is this: "Today, the Aegis Reclaimer is the company’s best-selling remaining military contract ship. Reclaimers are heavy-duty space salvage ships designed for a strong support role. The design isn’t pretty to look at, but it features a variety of rugged specialized tools, all designed for operation in a combat theater: long-range jump drives, launch pods for drones, tractor beams, floodlights and more. Civilian surveyors are also a common site on the frontier, where they are adapted as dedicated salvage ships and explorers. A crew traveling deep space in a Reclaimer should be capable of taking home some of whatever mysteries they happen across!" Now how about that Vulture being Drake instead of Argo? I don't care if the forward arms look like a Dragonfly. I just have AAARRRGOOO screaming at me.
