Today I took out a Reclaimer to see how viable it is to solo Hull Munching. Watch and see how I do.
After uploading this video I found the below PTU update notes from Thorsten. I still think it will be viable to solo the Reclaimer for Hull Munching, you just wont get as much CM. I also found out that the Cargo Hold level also does have a grid for smaller 1 and 2 SCU boxes.
"Hi,
As promised the update on what we changed and what will be coming in the next couple of days:
What we already changed:
Reduced the Internal Storage/Buffer of the Reclaimer to 140 SCU
Reduced the Internal Storage/Buffer on the Vulture to 12 SCU
Reduced the amount of Construction Materials generated per ship
Increased the amount of time for Disintegration and Fracturing
updated the fracturing and disintegration mechanic to have a "alignment field" -- If you have the piece to fracture/disintegrate in the sweet spot it requires less time to fracture/disintegrate.
What will come in the next couple of days:
update the amount of construction material gathered based on the position in the "alignment field".
UI update to help you find the sweet spot for fracturing and disintegration.
The intention here is to make it more attractive to either position your ship or make use of the tractor beam. This will make the Reclaimer more viable again for multicrew gameplay.
Since we are still actively working on this, the values for time to fracture/disintegrate and the amount of Construction Material generated are subject to change.
For the update on the internal storage I am looking forward to your feedback and observations we will do.
Cheers"
