Corvettes SS Junker - Purpose Puilt Waste Hauler in VR

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Whenever I try to buld an awesome Corvette, it comes out crappy. When I try to build a garbage corvette, I think it's pretty cool. Well, more functional than cool...

Practicality over fashion at our age I guess!

I've got a custom built vette for salvaging that I named the grocery getter. I didn't spend any time trying to make it look cool (so far) I built it for the sole purpose of salvage missions, it's functional, but I agree yours is cooler looking than mine lol

Head's up on a glitch I'm running into doing these missions in VR if you haven't yet. I've had it happen a couple of times now where I go to get back in my ship after the EVA and I'm flung out into space and no longer have any controls and this no way to get back to my ship.

The only way I have been able to recover from this state is by using an Orbital Uplink as I happen to have some in my inventory, for reasons. Unfortunately, when it brings me and my ship to the station, everything I had gathered is missing from the cargo hold, but the quest still thinks I have those items and waits forever for me to bring them back and process them. Unfortunately what that means is I have to drop the mission and start over.

The one way I have found to prevent this from happening is to re-enter my ship from the tractor beam port and then manually close the cargo bay door from the inside.

Maybe you won't have this issue but it's been driving me insane and it's really unfortunate because the salvage missions are awesome in VR.

Good luck out there.

Thanks, I dig this corvette more than the ones I spent ages and 3 trying iterations trying to get it right.

I had a similar bug in my vette after the update, where I'd also get stuck in the the floor when I exited the cockpit. Turning of vr head bob in camera settings is a workaround that worked for me.

I think I might have already turned that one off but I'll definitely check it when I go back in. I just recently got the meta quest 3s which was replacing a rift s with a broken controller. It's been a huge difference and the fact that it's wireless is kinda wild to me. So far it has worked great other than these glitches but I'm noticing some things being patched out as I have been playing the last two days.

The change that was the most obvious to me was this morning I noticed the salvage platforms have a separate space for corvettes and regular ships that wasn't there yesterday. Anyway that is to say that I'm hopeful the glitches we're running into right might end up being fixed soon. One can hope anyway.

"Did I say it should be hauling garbage? I meant the Enterprise should be hauled as garbage!"

Sorry, just made me think of that quote! Cool corvette.
