Pretty impressive. I find it difficult to aim that quickly due to the high degree of mouse smoothing the game applies.

The speed by which you blast the splitsaw so close to the fuel/cooling lines gives me anxiety

I'm amazed by your performance, i'm more of a open shift kind of player and I like to fully clear a ship while taking my time and watching videos but I learned a lot from your video. I didn't know the door were worth so much, I will try to isolate them now

If there are any hard-of-hearing souls out there that would like me to subtitle this thing just let me know and I'll get around to that.

Excellent demonstration! I learned a few great things from your commentary and technique. I was taking notes: > In my experience, blowing the airlock doors on the heavy cargo gecko can cause a reactor meltdown, so I shelved that strat. Have you had meltdowns? If not, how do you avoid them? I'd love to breach this way but not at the risk of losing the ship. > Your cargo container tethering is just insane. It's probably 2-3 times faster than mine, even at my best. > 3:27 WOW never thought to clear the nosecone that way! I'm gonna have to time trial your way. I think it'd be a 50/50 toss-up between your way and mine, in terms of speed. > Regarding grapple pulsing, I've never spammed left click, but I can say for sure that spamming right click while maintaining a grapple beam lets you move very heavy objects without pulling yourself around. I use it most commonly on thrusters & cargo containers. > I stole your 12x storage container pull last week. It's probably my favorite part of a Gecko run now. > Unless I'm crazy, utility arms (salvage arms) are worth 12,000, not 80,000. I don't even mess with them anymore unless they're right there in my face begging to be tethered to the barge. > I laughed out loud at 12:30 when the computer got processed - i do that all the time. > Splitsawing the ECU wall is a great technique, and is far faster than my approach of burning the floor with the stinger and splitsawing the pipe attaching the ECU to the wall - this is gonna save me a lot of time. > Based on testing I did, the inner hull (including cockpit assembly) is worth about 150,000 if you put it in the furnace. Off the top of my head, I can think of 4 doors in the inner hull assembly, totaling 48,000, so I think you come out ahead by using the furnace - by a factor of 3. I *think*, unless I'm just toally missing something obvious. Now, as far as feedback (not that you asked), honestly, I think you lose a lot of time by cutting all the outer hull cut points, for no gain. I only cut the 4 or 8 in the rear/top of the ship (depending on layout), and after separating the nosecone, you can pull either top side part with 4 tethers. I'm highly confident that my way is a lot faster, even though I use a few more tethers. Same thing with the bottom hull. I've started leaving one side entirely attached, minus one plate in the rear. 6 tethers can pull half the bottom outer hull in for processing, saving tons of time. Anyways man, thanks for the run! I recently had a 14.3 million run on this ship too, but I did the math and your utilization percentage was higher, at 95.22% (14,333,680 earned, out of 15,052,569 total value), versus my 94.08 (14,315,750 earned, out of 15,215,570 total value). Those last few percentage points get exponentially harder to eek out, so this was truly the superior run, even though those numbers look close on paper.

Damn I'm an Open shifter, watching this is surreal. I feel like a tradesman watching an addict on a bender do their job just as well in a third of the time. Definitely picking up the spiral bin tether removal technique, and maybe another one or two things.

So cool! Thanks for sharing all your hard-earned techniques. So helpful for those of us just diving in. Keep it up!

Today, I learned. :D "The spiral pull" makes me think of a spider when it arrives in the barge, I often have to give it a good push at the end because all the storage bins are crownding in the same space, but since they're all still link it looks like a crawling beast of some sort. I like spiral pull, I'm adopting that "Rocket surgeon", new title unlocked! I'm very happy to have seen your commentary, I'll probably watch this video again whenever I make another 14M shift attempt! Thank you for sharing your tips, and to a new year of discoveries!

Despite some things in the game may have changed since this guide was uploaded, I still learned a lot from this and got a chuckle out of "be adaptive, be flexible, be strong~". Thank you for this.

Appreciate the commentary. Great run!

I'm just getting into the game - only just started using tethers last night. Your skill and speed is impressive. I am super slow but have learned alot from your video. I am looking forward to looking at your newer videos.

Super impressive, it's interesting to see how much room for improvement there is as well

Lynx should use this as a training video. Genuinely, brilliant work, really cool stuff!

Great run. enjoyable to watch.

You are the Best shipbreaker, bro. Nice commentary.

very informative video, i hope i can find more with commentary like this in your list.

By the way, thanks! Using the techniques you´ve shown and the route you suggest I managed to make 7 million creds in a single shift! Thats a first for me (and more than double my average per shift!)

That was awesome and very informative. Thanks

You are the ripper. It's absolutely awesome.

Great work!

Wow, I know this is an early version of the game but still, that's impressive! I just got into the game after it left early access and am loving it. Got some good tips from this I can't wait to try

wow. you are the man my friend.

I just don't even. I can do a heavy cargo gecko in two shifts, barely. I just don't have the 'always doing something' stamina. Sometimes I have to stop for a second and think about what I'm doing. It's not reflex, like it seems to be here. Very impressive.

Good work :)

bro I kinda want to get shipbreaker after seeing this

I use that physics thing you mentioned to push a skinned science gecko into the barge using its pipe

I picked up a few techniques from this. But one thing I do different it when you have that large section of exterior panels on top of each side. The ones connected with the rails. I find if you tether from the rear most panel instead of the front it swings it right around into the processor gravity faster and using just 3 tethers. Attach to the red square that is painted on the rear most of that section of panel to just outside of the processor.

Dang. That was impressive!

Nice commentary!

What a play! Nice one

That was a bad ass run.

Lol. I just cut my ships in half, putting one half in the processor and the other half in the other processor. Job done!

You a beast!

Hey, thanks for telling everyone how super cool and super awesome I am. 🥰I learned reverso tethers when wasting time trying to get big chunks in the furnace. I've since decided that the end husk isn't worth the time. I can just go spawn another ship and make $$$ at 10+ times the rate. Anything into the furnace seems a waste of time imo. Thanks in particular for showing the cockpit detach.

damn you might just be the best shipbreaker

could you imagine pvp ship breaking.... "hey cutter, we need you for some corporate espionage. how's about you fly over to the ship right there and help them donate to our cause."

thangk you

12:51 im curious, why pull out the air control handle out of the air control room when they can both go into the barge?

A comment to boost you up in the algorithm, oh and to thank you for some great ideas.

Excellent cutting techniques. Not that I can use them, I drift too much and my fingers keep hitting the wrong keys.

I haven't refined my run this much yet but you have proven to me that a lot of my ideas for how to speed stuff up is not only possible but also better. I am afraid to use the slicer cutter the way you do as it tends to result in a lot of collateral damage. I don't know if they updated this to encourage using the precision laser more or if I'm just not using it right.

what do you do when you start off on a mackerel outside of race do you peel? ( cutting off the front and side panels) or gut them? ( doing the ship and knock out the bottom plates and take everything out the hall)( I like to get them first

Probably could have saved some time by not removing the panels from the interiors of the airlocks, as they both go into the barge.

LYNX: You are1 billion in debt. This guy: OK... gimme a week.

Is this the RACE mode? It doesn't look like career mode. Loved that spiral technique with the tethers. I also didn't realize that doors were worth more than the aluminum skeleton. That's wild!

The best shift I ever had was 16.6 million I have no clue how I did it, guess I was just vibing to the music

Great run man. I've got a question. Why do you remove the door panel from the interior of the detached airlock? They both go to the same place anyway. Do you not get money for the panel if you don't remove it?

Boost :)

dude this is sick

Damn! You sound like GLaDOS in the Portal games!

i did not expect it to be timed. i thought this was a chill float in space and cut spaceships apart kinda game. you've helped me in my decision to not buy this game, thanks :)

Didn't quite catch the trick for the panels. Still, nice shift!

I like your stuff! I'm looking to get this game asap, but in the meantime I stream Elite: Dangerous Horizons and a couple others... You should stop by and give it a glance sometime!

Question: Would it pay off to just barge the whole cockpit?

New to the game here. Is there a reason you took the panels out of the airlock before sending both to the airlock (12:50)? I would think you'd just send the airlock with the panel still in it right? Or does the panel not count unless you remove it from the airlock?

'Rocket Surgeon' - are you a Scott Manley fan, by any chance?

Why not toss the whole cockpit in the barge? The aluminum tube ain't worth much
