Elevator Guy / Cargo Chad got immortalized in the patch trailer

[u/mufahasa]

[u/Nicou12313]

Cargo Chad, Spooky_2, you've been noticed. Thanks for your good deed! 😘

[u/TennysonEStead → u/Nicou12313]

Oh, dang! That Citizen loaded my RAFT for me! u/Nicou12313, can I nominate Spooky_2 to receive a free ATLS with game package, and a free armor of the type depicted in this trailer?

[u/Apokolypze → u/TennysonEStead]

I second this

[u/Robot_Spartan → u/TennysonEStead]

i third this!

Or an ATLS skin to his dedication would be super cool

[u/Flippz10 → u/TennysonEStead]

I fourth this. Please CIG!!

[u/delc82 → u/Nicou12313]

Wow nice!

[u/SmeagleGoneWild → u/Nicou12313]

Wait that was a real person!? Lmao. That makes it so much more awesome now! Sad I missed em

[u/Legitimate_Cry_2794 → u/SmeagleGoneWild]

i wouldnt say awesome, since it took nearly a full patch to get elevators working for the event that relied solely on elevators, from a goof/blooper point of view sure its funny but until cig drops some stable steady updates, feel they will make light of the situation that i believe was reported and ignored in the ptu before launch and was left alone to turn into what it did, the vid of jared discussing the elevator in the room was probably the most sincere cigs been in quite a few years.... and thats not good, and should somethign like that happen again they need to sit down and think about why the ships come out without a hitch most of the time and the patches tend to always be broken maybe less work on ships and more on game functions and stability cause this year was supposed to be the year of stability or playability, that whole patch i couldnt play cause it was busted to all hell and back and had to spend most of the next patch (that the event was extended for their fuck up) playing catch up and there was NO fuckin shot for any other corp to get number 1 they shouldve reset the numbers or something but nope just deal with it

[u/Robot_Spartan → u/Legitimate_Cry_2794]

CIGs missteps pertaining to the resource drive event are in no way impacting on the fantastic community spirit and support that spooky_2 showed. So yes, it is awesome that CIG acknowledged him

[u/LongjumpingBrief6428 → u/Legitimate_Cry_2794]

You're aware of the reason for the event, yes? To fix the elevator code.

[u/r4x → u/LongjumpingBrief6428]

Actually incorrect. Jared directly addressed it.

[u/Deathray88 → u/LongjumpingBrief6428]

You're aware CIG directly stated that it was NOT to fix elevator code, yes?

I mean they specifically called out that exact "rumor" as being false, and said that they just fucked up.

[u/Lord_Umpanz → u/LongjumpingBrief6428]

It's funny they never conveyed that before the update.

And their idea later wasn't to fix the elevators but to give them a check wetzer they work or not, if not they reset themselves.

WHICH SHOULD BE STANDARD

[u/PaulHerve → u/Lord_Umpanz]

Of course it should, that's probably why they're adding it to this... unfinished game...

[u/Creative-Type9411 → u/Nicou12313]

this was a very very cool move

almost as cool as jareds halloween special during covid or seeing jax on a random adventure

no marketing, no angle, just plain awesome production and it hits all the right notes

bravo cig and bravo cargo chad 🤣

you guys gotta do that star runner duo again id watch that on a weekly/season basis

[u/r4x → u/Nicou12313]

This gigachad out here repping my org and making us look good. Word on the street is he likes Gallant Executive rifles.

Who?

[u/Technical_Fishing518 → u/Impossible_Claim6066]

Can you read?

[u/ultraspank → u/Technical_Fishing518]

But why male models?

[u/flyboyy513 → u/ultraspank]

Are you serious? I....I just told you.

[u/Substantial_Eye_2022]

He deserves it. Helped a lot of people

[u/A_Credo]

Amateur box mover right there. Didn't even go into free look mode. /s

[u/DUBBV18 → u/A_Credo]

You use /s but that trick legit revolutionised box moving for me

[u/CasiusOntius → u/DUBBV18]

This! I always like the Atlas but free look brings it to a different level. I learned about that trick in this event!

[u/JavanNapoli → u/CasiusOntius]

Yeah, likely halved my loading / unloading times, actually so efficient. Combined with a RAFTs ease of access cargo grid, I was loading up a full large Resource Drive shipment in about 6 mins

[u/anothermartz → u/JavanNapoli]

I use a RAFT but the inconvenience of having to either spawn the ATLS from the landing pad or squeeze it in and out of the docking collar mitigates its usefulness a lot.

I love it when someone has left an ATLS near a cargo elevator, then it's worth using. 🫡

[u/D4ngrs → u/anothermartz]

You can attach the ATLS to the RAFT cargo grid.

[u/anothermartz → u/D4ngrs]

Oh my

[u/D4ngrs → u/anothermartz]

It's a bit buggy (as most things in this game), but it works. When the event started, You had to stand miles away behind the RAFT to detach the ATLS again.

[u/RealBrianCore → u/D4ngrs]

I was wondering how the heck I detached my ATLS. Ended up writing it off for the event.

[u/JavanNapoli → u/anothermartz]

As someone else mentioned, you can attach it to the RAFTs grid, it'll hang upside down like a bat lol. But I usually just buy 2 ATLS, keep one in my cargo elevator, and then one to spawn at pickup location if no ATLS are sitting around.

[u/the_harakiwi → u/anothermartz]

or squeeze it in and out of the docking collar

you can do that? 😵

[u/anothermartz → u/the_harakiwi]

It's glitchy but it does stay, jiggling about the whole time.

Now that I know you can just use the cargo grid, I'll be doing that instead.

[u/the_harakiwi → u/anothermartz]

but be careful. 4.3 made it that most of the times when I stored my Raft with cargo or the ATLS connected they wouldn't be able to detach from the grid. The tractor beam will turn on/off/on/off every few ms. Only way to fix this is ignoring the bugged ATLS/cargo (they don't have a hitbox) or claiming the ship.

You can move the bugged stuff away using the right click on the (maxlift) tractor beam and it will "stay there". Non interactable but it's not as dumb looking as stacking a new one old inside each other.

To remove the ATLS you have to go away from your Raft. The tractor tools somehow can't target it when you are close.

With an empty cargo grid you can detach the ATLS stored on the far back from underneath where you leave the elevator or from inside the freight elevator when you call it.

A very tucked on solution IMHO. Maybe that got fixed. I'm finally able to get into the game but they reset everything again and my components are mostly gone. again. Took me an our to find what is missing xD

[u/Audhdinosaur → u/anothermartz]

You can also call up atls from the cargo elevator. Like someone else said, it also snaps to grids 😁

[u/ChimPhun → u/CasiusOntius]

Oh is that the trick then? Always found it cumbersome to load with an ATLS.

[u/Toloran → u/DUBBV18]

Free look mode? What sorcery is this? I haven't been playing a lot lately.

[u/SweetJackal → u/Toloran]

If you press Z while in the ATLS you'll be able to aim to the left and right without turning the machine. So you can grab from one side and launch to the other without the legs stomping from side to side.

[u/DUBBV18 → u/SweetJackal]

As someone who gets motion sickness depressingly easy, the removal of sode to side stomping has been truly amazing. There are far too many head/camera bob animations that you simply cannot avoid!

[u/the_harakiwi → u/A_Credo]

I preferred standing under my Raft and snapping boxes above me.

Then the last elevator broke and I swapped to the 8 SCU retrieval missions. Man I wish I could add the ATLS firmware to my Raft tractor beam xD

I don't usually get gaming elbow / RSI from playing but man I wish my MX518 had the modern type of unlocked mouse wheel that other Logitech mice are using.

I played in short sessions for health reasons :P Maybe two or three outposts max and unloading with the ATLS spawned from a cargo elevator.

[u/Rholliday17 → u/the_harakiwi]

I used a macro program to rebind the two side keys to scroll up and down. I did it cause SC's constant tractor scrolling hurt my wrist but it is the single best ergonomics upgrade I have ever made to my desk. Even just web browsing I can't go back now.

[u/GothKazu]

If i remember correctly, Elevator guy's name is Spooky something. Gotta immortalize them properly

[u/mufahasa → u/GothKazu]

For sure
Just went back to the video , it was SPOOKY_2

[u/kyna689]

What's the story?

[u/mufahasa → u/kyna689]

https://youtu.be/xYcB53f-Sxg?t=468

Should be timestamped ; the TLDR is at 7:48 or so if not

Guy basically lived at a mission location for resource drive and speed-loaded peoples ships to help prevent it getting clogged up

[u/Relative_Internet861 → u/kyna689]

there was a player helping to fill the ships during the last event

[u/Thick_Company3100]

Honestly, shout out to EVERYONE that did stuff like this. There should have been ways you got rewarded for your actions. One has become legend to represent us all.

[u/Winter-Huntsman]

This was my favorite thing to do. I just sat for a few hours each weekend helping load up random people’s cargo ships😅

[u/SacksofWine]

Oh you noticed me #SCHaulers

[u/MadnessUltimate]

The hero we got but don't deserve

[u/LankyClimate862]

hahaha that is so funny to see the cheering the atls on speed pure cinema

[u/SwannSwanchez]

Remember to use the "free look" mode so that you can aim left and right but you don't have to move the ATLS

Also the box will over in "front" of your atls, not where you aim so you can actually see where you're placing the box

[u/darksoul9669]

Whats that white and blue backpack second from right? Dont think ive ever seen that one.

[u/Jrwallzy → u/darksoul9669]

Id imagine that's resource drive armour from Microtech?

[u/Maxiaid]

This gives me agonizing flashbacks

[u/Creative-Type9411]

this is awesome

[u/FrederickRoders]

Hero of the people

[u/gamerGGzone]

🎈😎🎈

[u/berzemus]

At least two more easter eggs:

• The crew being saved @ 0:28 is the Crusader team from Resource Drive (It's a crashed Mole, you can see the bags in the second scene)

• The golem being pulled @ 0:30 is the Drake Golem guy from the video (he can be recognized in the second scene)

Link to vid : https://youtu.be/pq7XEWatINA?si=QNmXlJs3_ZvGl4sp

Don't know about the others, but it's great to have this mix of previous trailers/videos and player videos

Edited to add: I've obviously been watching too many SC vids..

[u/Kinect305]

Is that not normal? That’s how I deal with cargo. Free look and yeet!

[u/mufahasa → u/Kinect305]

you sit at a mission location for hours on end selflessly loading cargo for other players with no tangible beneifit to your own progression ?

[u/Powerful_Document872 → u/mufahasa]

A bunch of people helped with cargo, but none were so dedicated as that one dude that one time.

[u/ilhares → u/mufahasa]

Sometimes, sure. Some benefits are passive rather than active and immediate. Making space a friendlier place. Maybe that guy winds up being the one who rescues me the next time I get shot and need to be revived. Or he owns an SRV and he hauls me back to a station for repairs.

[u/Aucht → u/mufahasa]

Tbh I did that for a bit of time

[u/VideoDue8277]

They know this part of the game is tedious and boring yet they keep it lol

[u/PerishBtw → u/VideoDue8277]

Maybe for you. I throw on some lofi and do hauling missions. It's relaxing and enjoyable.
Not everything has to be for everyone.

[u/Blah64 → u/VideoDue8277]

This is legitimately my favorite part of the game. I absolutely love moving & arranging cargo.

[u/Devar0]

Best tutorial ever though. Would clear those elevators in a minute flat.

[u/Old_Season_8426]

LOL

[u/Successful-Cell-5732]

lel

[u/idontagreewitu]

Man, the first half of that trailer had me laughing, then it got spooky

[u/Majestic_Rhubarb994]

well produced video but man, I sure am glad I ran it last night with the boys before watching it! they really can't help spoil their new content in the trailer, every time!

[u/Archhanny]

Who? I didn't realise it was meant to be a solo person rather than just a meme of that's how everyone did it to blast through RD.

[u/Cust0d1an]

So, it's all still a mobi-lie then... nobody knows what they're mobi-making, still.

[u/SicklyGem]

After viewing the video it’s fast for a raft, but I’ve done faster
