Ohh, I should totally use that in a 'concepts that got pimped, price-bumped, then delayed' vid
There's also this salvage bashing arm (?) that was in the Vulture trailer

Lol, what the hell, that's not even a parody vid.
Don't remember the Vulture ever having a punchy arm planned. (Different flavours of sucky hoover, for sure)
It doesn't, the punchy arm is also the grabby arm on the Reclaimer, that was the Reclaimer, not that i think the Reclaimer grabby arm can be a punchy fist, dunno.
"Big Clunky Rig" in that refers to the Reclaimer.
Which is ridiculously huge. Its like a 20 story building, quite imposing standing next to it.

Its grabby arm is meant to tear ships apart, one of the many things CIG thought was a good idea without actually thinking about how that was going to work in code and visually, to me i don't see how that would work.
But its always had its huge extendable arm with its grabby claw, it looks cool but its a completely useless appendage, it does nothing because they haven't figured it out.
The Vulture, a very much later salvaging ship just magically sucks ship parts in, the Reclaimer is supposed to feed its self with its grabby thing.
I would be interested to see how they get around that one now that they are filling out all the salvage stuff.

Yeah, it's very much from the Ben 'What Ship Would Space Nerds Absolutely Love?' Lesnick school of ship design. Just leave the devs to figure the damn thing out etc.
(It didn't help that a dev at one point said the claw would suck material in from space using an internal vacuum... :/)

The Vulture not having its struts wide-enough for the current ship debris parts is just classic CIG too. (Can't wait to see what happens to the Crucible repair ship with its similar pre-baked struts)

Looks nice, though, regardless of its assigned "profession". Like a huge lizard.
Oh yeah. Gorgeous industrial beast of a thing. And the Nostromo interior is great too.
Just a shame that the elevators trap you, the dining table hurls you into space, and none of it really works
(Also, it's prone to aliens...)
Not as imposing as its price tag!
Good point... and that ship is only a year old.The Vulture not having its struts wide-enough for the current ship debris parts is just classic CIG too. (Can't wait to see what happens to the Crucible repair ship with its similar pre-baked struts
For it to work properly ships would have to built out of a variety of blocks like they are in Empyrion.
