*MISC Fortune - Will It Make You a Fortune? | Star Citizen Review*
The MISC Fortune is here, and I put it to the test to see if this ship lives up to its name! 🚀💰
In this review, I take the Fortune through its paces-scraping hulls, ejecting cargo, and offloading to see how well it handles the logistics of turning salvage into profit. But the big question remains: *Will the MISC Fortune actually make you a fortune?*
I break down its strengths, weaknesses, and whether it's worth the investment for solo and group players alike. If you're thinking about picking up this ship, you won’t want to miss this deep dive!
Let me know your thoughts-would you buy the Fortune? Or is it just another ship in the ever-growing fleet of industrial haulers?

Salvaged all day yesterday for hours and I love the Fortune. Melted my Vulture this morning. Although it doesnt scrap as fast as the Vulture it makes the time up in not running up and down the ladder manually moving boxes. Kind of get tired of manually moving the boxes in the ship then moving boxes to the hangar elevator its just too much. Only having to move it to the Hangar elevator is NICE!
Problem is that it takes an extra 10 minutes to fill up its buffer. Stacking boxes for 2 minutes in the vulture saves 8 minutes from the slower salvage speed of the fortune
You have to exit the seat of the Vulture only 2 time each run (only one more than the Fortune)... With the managing of your cargo containers (who are WAY easier than for the Fortune), it take in grand total : 5 minutes on your entire run. So please stop with this outdated argument, the Vulture have seen the size of his buffer extended from 2 to 13 a LONG time ago.
I have been wanting to know. Can you stack the boxes outside the fortune? So the six stack to twelve.
Sadly you can't stack the boxes. I hope they fix that.
@@Wayne72LEVRAILoading boxes inside from outside with that tiny elevator? No thanks
The Vulture may be better, but I love the Fortune more.. I like the looks better, and for lazy me.. the auto loading is great. Plus the layout inside is better as I hated the Vulture of climbing up and down all the time to get to the hold. Also the MISC ship travels further, so its kind of like an Explorer x Salvager to me. A perfect daily ship.
You have to exit the seat of the vulture only two times by run, only one time more than for the Fortune and you don't have to go outside to take each container.
So "climbing up and down all the time" is over exaggerated plus i prefer to climb a ladder up and down one time than to go pick each container one by one outside, this is less painfull 🙄
The only thing i like on the Fortune for now is how it look, specially with paint. He his so inferior to the Vulture that CIG will be forced to upgrade it anyway, wich is a good thing.
@Wayne72LEVRAI Yeah I don't see this being an upgrade in time saving if you want to min max like a vulture. If you want to stuff the Fortune with crates, you have to go outside, put them on the lift, go up the lift, take the boxes off into the hallways, go down the lift, put more boxes on the lift, go up the lift and unload another 4 in the hallways, go down the lift, load another 4 on the lift. Float to the front and enter from the side entrance, and have 13 more internal. You can definitely stuff a fortune too, but with the slower slavage and the cargo being outside, you will spend a lot more time moving cargo around than a vulture.
Fortune: You take more time to scrap but you save time when making boxes.
Vulture: You scrap faster but box management is manual.
All in all, the amount of time you spend is the same, it's a matter of preference at this point.
I was in the middle of hull scraping some panels at an asteroid cluster in Pyro in a Fortune the other day when I saw a player fast approaching me. I assumed they weren't just checking me out, they were probably going to attack, so I got out of there fast. I had about 4 RMC in the buffer + 12 on the cargo grids at that point; if I'd been using a Vulture instead, I might've been able to fully fill it up before the other player found me.
Great video. Helped me make my decision.
Infinite when salvaging make sure you have food and water dish for that little critter 😂
the vulture will make money faster, and the price makes sense because drake is made of scrap metal and duct tape. i would stick to the vulture personally.
In reality..... you can fit more than 39 scu of cargo in this ship...... it has an advantage and it is..... the boxes fit trough the doors quite easily, so you can stuff the ship with boxes in the inside..... you just have to leave space so you can get out trough the front door, that amazingly, being a misc ship.... actually WORKS to get out!..... it requires a lot of work repositioning boxes so.... there goes the advantage of automatic box placing in the cargo grid, but it will make good money for you , even a little more than the vulture if you do the required work.
He will not make more money than the Vulture by hour because it will extend the time of the run from a lot.
For now the Fortune is useless, i think CIG will double his outside cargo or up the size of his salvage head.
@@Wayne72LEVRAI Imagine if it could double stack on the cargo grid like Hull-A's cargo fins. Easy fix, more secure storage for a slower collection rate.
@@mythicalbeast1202 This is the easiest choice for CIG and easy to fix yes. I hope they will do it, this will make the Fortune more on pair with the Vulture because travel is what lesser the profits the most, so if it have more cargo it will be pushed closer to the Vulture 👍
With the current set up 36 seems best - That's without going through doors 5 in front of the back door 4 on lift, 12 on side grid 13 in the hopper and 2 blocked in the processor. If you want to go through the painful doors you can fit close to 50 but its a time sync.
I got rid of my Vulture for the Fortune. Sure, it's a bit slower, but its.much more convenient.
Unloading is super fast... just a few clicks and the boxes are on the ground.
And at some point cargo off grid will actually damage your ship... and by then the vulture will have lost its advantage in cargo (even tho you can load exactly the same amount of boxes into the fortune... it's just more complicated to do so. )
GREAT MISC COCKPIT !! AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For me, aesthetics influence my decision-making process, because I play to have fun, I don't buy ships that don't appeal to me, whether it's more or less profitable doesn't matter to me... I mean, I have a 400i.
Same here lol, proud 400i owner 🫡
Misc or drake. Either way they are both good ships. I will be sticking with misc. great video, thanks.
Me too. Glad it served o7
Anyone else having an issue where the ship only ejects to the one side despite both sides set to auto eject??
So far I haven't had that.
Yes. Also it says it's jammed when the grid is clear. Really frustrating.
I saw a guy load the back ramp plus his corridor with boxes. Says he got 40 scu. The vulture scrapes a bit faster but for having an extra scraper it is not twice as fast. My vulture is going to be traded and im picking this thing up. If you think the vulture is better tell me how and change my mind. Fortune looks better has more shielding goes further and more efficient.
Well vulture Is better in every single stat except for hull HP and Quantum Fuel..And yes vulture scrape exactly two times Faster than fortune
Also fitting 40scu in vulture means two trips to Cargo to the easiest kind of work...puting boxes in box shaped Cargo hold...So both trips to Cargo Are like 4 minutes each...And unloading in hangar Is the same....Fortune on other Hand...40 scu means going into eva....puting boxes on lift one by one...And then fiddling With them thru doors that barely fit the one scu box...same Story again on unloading....dont get me Wrong...Fortune Is not that bad...Its just badly priced..IT has spot around 50usd lower as entry level salvage ship..definetely not at same price As vulture, as Its just not a competitor to it in any way...vulture Is more of a step up from fortune
The vulture doesn't scrape it a "bit" faster, its double
@@fejtydrift3394 May wanna check that,I've done the test. There are even people on youtube saying the same thing. It is not twice as fast. Faster yes but twice no. Once you factor in going down stairs moving boxes then coming back up is the vulture realy faster. Answer is no.
@@gp8231 like I told drift 3394 once you add the effiency of the Fortune Overall it is not faster. You scrape a little faster but with 2 hoppers and not have to manually move boxes which ship brings the bacon home faster?
For all there is holy, drink something! 😅😂
People keep trying to defend the "Fortune" that scraps slowly, and put you at risk if you want to put more cargo inside your ship since you need to leave the security of your ship to get the boxes outside. People say... "You can put a lot more boxes inside the Fortune!" - Good luck making the boxes pass the doors! 🤣 Those doors aren't a rectangle. They are rounded. It's hard to pass a box there. Not to mention that different from the Vulture which has arms in the front. In the misFORTUNE, the first thing that will hit if bump into something while scraping will be your cockpit where you will going to die. This ship is nice but should cost less than the Vulture. If that happen it would be fair!
I agree, the only argument of people in favor of the Fortune over the Vulture is "you have to exit your seat all the time" wich isn't true, it was true a long time ago when the buffer of the Vulture was 2 SCU but it was upgraded to 13 SCU, so you only have to exit your seat two times for each run, wich is only one time more than the Fortune.
In total exiting your seat two times, printing and managing your containers take only 5 to 6 minutes on your entire salvage run, wich isn't true for the Fortune if you wan't to put more cargo inside of the ship.
To be clear for now the Fortune is pure garbage (in fact he is only bad priced, it should have been the entry level salvage around $120), but since he his priced so high (and will be priced over the Vulture in game, exactly like the prospector), it leave no other choice for CIG than to upgrade it. Grow the size of the salvage head or double stack the outside cargo grid.
This is their choice.
I put 2 Fortune on my Polaris, Vulture only 1. So cool for a duo salvage run
Do ships finally remain in the Polaris hangar when you QT jump? I lost my Vulture and other ships every single time during the QT jumps. Just ridiculous but then again this is CIG.
You say it's easier to unload from ship to freight elevator but I park my Vulture with the back open towards the elevator, take a couple boxes out from standing just outside and then I go in and bvasically push the crates to the elevator so I never had an issue, or found unloading the Vulture a problem with ease and speed. Sure this you don't have to go down the ladder (drop down backwards and its faster) twice to play tetris but tetris doesn't take very long each time anyway. If this was priced maybe $50 cheaper it would be good as a starter salvage ship, but priced the same as the Vulture is too much for 1 scrapper arm vs 2 and less cargo space if I want to load up some larger weapons taken from ships into the back.
Nice ship aesthetically yes, the cargo grid on the outside being automatic is nice, but the 1 scrapper negates that time saved not playing tetris. If it was say a size 2 I could put that would be better. That or I'd be ok with the current IF they allowed 12 scu on each side instead of 6.
Overall, nice ship but Vulture is still a bit better min/max or not. I think it's only a matter of aesthetic preferences at this point since a lot of people don't seem to like Drake's aesthetics. I personally love Drake ships so I like my Vulture. I may buy the Vulture in-game then change to this so I can fly both to personally test just for fun.
Kornelius, here is the workaround for the anoying cockpit mfd lighting bug:
The cockpit has three cockpit interior lighting modes: 1) off, 2) on, 3) alert mode. These can be controlled from the inside of the cockpit, the switch is located on the door control panel at the left side of the door, when facing away from the seat. Switch the interior light to ON. This should result in the white lighting panel on the ceiling displaying a white texture. Do not use OFF or ALERT mode. Now enter the seat and the ugly lighting of the top mfd's should be gone.
The Fortune seems to spawns with the cockpit lights either On or on Alert mode. So, if need be, switch them on and enjoy salvaging in darkenss. o7
O nice, thanks mate 😊🫡 o7 🥂
Love your vidéos ! Some absurd ideas in design keep happening over and over, lack of suit locker, stupid EVA door that is not an airlock, cockpit light in the pilote face…
Thank you. Yes stupid ideas to say at least.
CIG need to address that glaring eyesore above the HUD, its bright and continually ON........fix it CIG
with my vulture I made about 330k per 40-50mins, normally I stack up about 37 scu/run, and I always go to grim hex to sell, it doesn’t give you the best selling price but it’s close. I’m curious how much profit per hour misc fortune can make
Roughly the same, maybe a little less depending on scraping speed and offload mechanics. But it would be definitely interesting to see.
Can the Vulture make products like the Fortune
yes
It’s the Fortune that makes products like the Vulture. People were wondering if the Fortune would before it came out.
Thx, m8
After the fracture you turned the wrecked parts into SCU or RMC I suppose. Which is the key I need to press in order to melt them?
Don't know I never tried to melt them, always to sell 🫠
what you didn't show is that once you've maxed out a side, it jams, and someone outside has to clear it, and then you need to hit the eject button again. Removes most of the advantage of having the auto dispenser. If you move boxes throughout the ship, gotta EVA. Also we'll see how long the elevator works. Missed opportunity for a real differentiator for the profession. Park the vulture backwards, ramp down and it'll be just as quick.
Hey, at least the elevator has an actual grid unlike the Reclaimer's infamously picky elevator lol
I haven't had that problem. We shall see in future. o7
@@mythicalbeast1202 Fair. Eventually they'll update that beast
@ It just needs a cargo grid that can fit the 32 SCUs and I'll be a happy camper. Well hey! At least they fixed the rear-most ramp. Instead of being a void, it actually lets you throw cargo out of the vehicle once it's open via the pilot seat (A button in the rear would be nice...)
@@mythicalbeast1202 its not terrible considering it hasn't gotten a rework since day 1. It needs to be gutted and redone sadly.
Do not get the more cargo in vulture, the vulture has a grid of 12 + 13 in the hopper, Fortune can use the elevator to hold/ load a 8 SCU crate that you can fill adding 8 to the 6 + 6 + 13 in the hopper.
So my math comes to 25 for the vulture and 33 for the fortune when using grid and hopper, so how is the fortune less ?
Yes, i know you can store stuff off grid (for now ) but that goes for both ships and i feel like the fortune has again more room off grid then the vulture ?
Addendum :
Having watched more vids on the fortune and reading your responses i agree 39 in a vulture where grid and hopper is 25 is nice but in one of the vids i watched someone claims that he got the fortune to 47 SCU so there is that.
And it is true that 2 heads are better then one, you can place the 12 boxes on the outside without stopping to go to a cargo hold to move them from the hopper onto the grid like in the vulture.
True to use the lift grid and move the boxes into the ship (fortune) would need you to go EVA but you don't need to play Tetris with 33 of the SCU.
So i still don't think that one is better then the other, it feels like both are good but for different reasons and there for maybe for different players.
In the end i don't think it really matters as long as you have fun flying them.
I fit 39 scu at a time in the vulture
@@o0Lo0P0o That is possible if using off grid space but to hit 39 all the fortune owner has to do is add 6 scu off grid in the living space / hallway and its the same, again for now, off grid is nice but its not save as ships have exploded because off grid cargo clipping (even grid cargo some times ;) ).
Also it does not change my point, that using grid and hopper the fortune has more space.
Yes. But.... The Vulture has two salage heads. Scraping is much faster. You end up being less efficient with the Fortune no matter what you do. You can fill both ships to the max however you want and the Vulture still wins. For a game loop that is about making money, more money per hour is better. So, Vulture wins.
@@Gubers Tue but again like the last reaction you missing the point i was making.
Yes it is true that 2 heads are faster then one, however i was not making a speed point, i was wondering why people where making it out that the fortune had less default cargo space. Also i have seen some that own the fortune claim that the area they scrape is bigger the a single head of the vulture so that may offset some of the speed.
Again my question is not about speed but space.
If you stick to just the grid, the Vulture has 12 plus on in the "poop pad" plus 13 in the buffer for 26. The Fortune has 6 on each side plus 4 on the lift plus two "poop pads" plus the 13 in the buffer for 31. That's just on-grid.
Going off grid, the Fortune has lots of room inside. In summary, the Fortune just holds more than the Vulture.
It does scrape slower, is slower, and can't hide. So the Vulture is probably better overall, but capacity is a Fortune advantage.
its making you rich very slowly i testet the ship an right now i can tell you in a Nomad i make 800k in the same time you make 291. with full buffer an the boxes outside
an this is just from moving Rookie contract from station to a spaceport with the normad
os if you want to work less for more do not salvge you can faster get the money to new ship from Cargo missions
100% this! I like to scrape and salvage to break things up if I want a bit more peaceful gameplay, but I love hauling in my SL MAX and it definitely makes more in less time. Both can be tedious and monotonous but I find enjoyment in both depending on my mood and time restraints, etc but you're right that hauling makes more in less time.
are the missions still spawning near the station and in the armistice zone? looks like it is fixed
It seems it's fixed
I love the ship, but it's so slow at scraping.
change for abrade will get faster
@burgerpops7182 Already did, not good enough. They need more variations or customization to salvage heads. This far in and the salvage loop still feels bland. They just released a new ship with almost 0 touch ups on the actual loop itself, and most people just ignore CMAT. So that experience is suffering too.
@@MetaconceptualI agree even with abrade it still felt extremely slow. I like salvaging but it does get tedious just sitting there scrapping without any moving cargo breaks. I guess for me moving the crates around just feels less tedious than scrapping non stop. For me the vulture is still king. But, the misc being smaller you can put this in a polaris with a Hornet, do some bounties, get cargo, scrap the ships, and get mission money all at the same time, this could probably be pretty profitable.
This should have been designed with a size 2 scrapper head instead, then it would be near perfect.
6 boxes direct planetary 50k
It's a cursed ship; it is contesting the role of a well established ship called the Drake Vulture and it doesn't fare well as it only has 1 small salvage head.
29 is easy leash in the Fortune but people put 39 in. No way the Vulture carries double the Fortune,
I'm sorry, but the ship is neither larger than a Vulture nor does it have twice the cargo space.
This ship only has 1/3 more cargo space, and this is not connected by a salvage ejector and is more intended for storing components or something similar.
The difference between Vulture and Fortune is, the Vulture is designed for efficiency and the Fortune is designed for a little more convenience.
Mate you got it wrong I am saying Vulture is bigger and has more cargo. o7
This ship breakes CIG design for internal parts hahing to actually ocupy phisical space.
Vulture is double decked, the lower deck is entire for cargo hold, salvage buffer, arms, "munching" , salvage printer....
Fortune have imaginary "munching" "whiskers" 2 printers, same 13 SCU buffer size, more fuel, being smaller....
Were is all those 13SCU buffer stored?, also the internals that i could believe being prospector parts are gone and a hall made all the way to the back.
Those walls must be filled with RMC huh?
I mean, im not against some magic, but some ships are FAT as hell to accomodade "believability", being "diegetic".... looks like another trend of lies and misplacement of promisses are coming to an end.
dude i'am glad this game was not made by you, IMO you dont sound like a human🤖
I think it's silly too. I just tell myself that it's magically compressed at very high density... and I'm keeping my Vulture.
Why didn't you put an Abrade on it?
I wanted to test all the stock. But I'll definitely test Abrade in the future. o7
it takes almost an extra 10 minutes to fill its buffer cause of the lack of a second scraper head, it loses far more time scraping than what you lose stacking boxes in the vulture
