What is profitable in your opinion? In 6 missions i got 3 dc from server and lost 90k, then I got 2 missions that had less than 30k worth of cargo, 1 mission who rewarded me with balancing out the losses. At the end I wasted hours of money and if I wouldn't have had two dc from server I would have earned maybe 60k and just by luck. That is not even close to profitable. @@redshirt49
A note on the inventory bug….I read that if you only stack SCU containers with other like items (ie. slam on top of slam) you won’t have the issue. Since I’ve been more deliberate in my cargo management following this idea, I haven’t run into the issue
yup can confirm, i was running gold and beryl and had it happen mutliple times, so i got a mate to stand in the cargo and watch what happens when i sold it, the gold disapeared but then the beryl had nothing to lock to so started glitching and it all disapeared. so yeah having it stacked so i 1 box is taken from under it it doesnt bug out
We had an assortment of drugs organized by type and size with nothing stacked and we still got this bug. We lost 132 scu of Maze (~%10,000,000 auec) that we got from a single C2.
Cargo Ship Tetris is the literal best gameplay loop in Star Citizen. Spending time sorting actual physicalized loot from one space ship to another is basically all I want out of a "realistic" space salvaging experience.
Another one of the many things that make starcitizen damn near perfect gameplay , there’s so many things intentional and unintentional that make seemingly irrelevant activities refreshingly necessitated , in real life, logistics management is a real thing Just like needing to sit down in a train because the acceleration will knock you on your feet ❤
Cargo consolidation is a thing but I wish it had more value. I feel right now at least that there is no real distinction between say a Hull A, and a Hull C except one holds more than the other. In reality the Hull A should be more specialized for runs either on a single planet, planet to orbiting station, or planet to moons, and the Hull C should be more specialized for long distance, say between planets or systems. In turn there should be benefit from consolidating lots of local cargo in space onto a Hull C and then carrying it on. But none of the systems in place encourage such realistic gameplay.
also remember its space, if your trying to align yourself with another ships cargo you dont have to be in the same rotation, flip "upside down" with the c2 and you can get right against the hammerheads cargo elevator.
Confirmed still working in 3.21. High value cargo rates have maybe been turned down a little but still 5-10m an hour no problem. Inventory Bug workaround (thanks to @TroyCurry) - stack cargo in distinct groups, I.e. only put slam boxes on top of slam, neon on top of neon etc. This way it’ll sell fine 👍
I just did my first run of risky salavge and made ~4.5mil in an hour!! I didn't even fill up my M2 all the way either. Thank you so much for this well put together guide!
I’d like to say this has been a thing since 3.19 (at least). It wasn’t as stupidly broken because there were only 1 SCU boxes and only HH Starfarers and Cats, but was still in the realm of 3-4 mil/hr
@@Blackhole_T618if the payout remains this high people get rich far too quickly and loose interest in the game because there are literally no money sinks besides buying ships. (Base building when it actually comes needs to cost an absolute fortune in resources and money) and Insurance, repair, fuel, missiles all need to cost way more IMO) Because many rich players start acting like d1cks. They start to not care about the outcomes of their engagements and it’s all round just bad for the game. That’s why I’m super annoyed that there was no money wipe, especially with all the duping that went on
Just did this today on 3.21. Had to do 3x small salvages and 1 bigger one (5k upfront) and then the 30k ones opened up. My 4th mission was over 3 million. 2x 32SCU of quant and a couple smaller ones of maze.
Since the 3.20a client update (and losing many ships [not all]) I've not seen any Herc in Salvage. Mind you I went and touched grass after being robbed of 10+Million in aUEC ships. I was able to buy a replacement Vulture, and almost back to a balance I can buy a replacement Herc. But in either General or Personal Salvage, I've not seen the return of Hercs, have you?@@ManDark_o7
Hey loud guns, I'll give you a pro tip...accept the jumptown mission and sell the maze at the drug deposit location. Those 90M maze boxes will sell for 180K, doubling your profit. We made over 14 million from a single ship multiple times yesterday. Could have made 28M from one ship if we realised sooner
A lot of the UEC Earning methods I feel are going to be 10 times less as profitable as they are now when beta comes around, especially considering how cheap some repair, refuel services are. CIG has stated that Beta will be a soft launch with around 10-15 solar systems. It's more likely that cargo hauling between systems will be far more valuable, especially with some systems having legal commodities not found in other systems. (Maybe Beryl isn't in Odin, for instance.)
@@thegeneral1955 Keep in mind that it is not about finishing the systems but finishing the tech. The time from Stanton to Pyro will be longer than the time from Pyro to ten systems.
I had 12.8M of Maze to sell and I got jumped immediately after I logged onto Terminal at Samson & Sons. I went back to where I had died and my ship was gone!
The piracy rates at the scrapyards are at elevated levels! Best to try and find someone who would have taken 2-3m to provide you with an escort if you’re shipping that much produce.
Leading up to the good stuff. My Vulture only had 1 GRID location working, the rest of the RMC just had to be free stacked NOT Available to be sold at LeGrange locations
What do I do if an NPC Vulture attacks me? As soon as I destroy them I have 3 crime stats and then so many NPC ships come that I can't load the cargo boxes. Thanks for Help and nice Movie-!
It’s not the different size containers. It’s the commodity. Only the same commodity can be stacked vertically for the terminal to accept the sale without failure.
Man, I just started playing SC last week. I JUST missed this opportunity. Thought I caught an early break with this as I know jack about any of the gameplay loops, let alone the more lucrative or lesser known ones.
Biggest issue with the cargo salvage is that the selling terminals will regularly take your stuff without paying you anything and give a "cargo could not be removed" error. Supposedly you can avoid this by not stacking different types of cargo on top of each other, but sadly my experience is that that's not a guarantee. Lost out on over 10 million aUEC from that bug :P
Just stack the same materials on top of each other. For example, don't stack laranite on top of Borase. You can still have different materials in you cargo. You can even have them right next to each other just not on top of each other unless they're the same if that makes sense. Worked everytime for me
I can confirm that in 3.20 this is accurate. If the cargo on the bottom gets sold first, the cargo on top glitches out, so stack like on like. It works. I suspect that one could stack unlike on unlike as long as the upper cargo was sold first but have not tested this. As another commenter stated, it is a bad idea to hoard cargo for a full bay due to the many instabilities in 3.20. Sell more often and don't try to overstack.
what i think is triggering it is having boxes on top of other boxes. when the boxes under the top boxes get sold the ones hovering in the air no longer count and get glitched. i worked around that in 3.19 buy only stacking things that have the same things in the boxes so scrap can stack on scrap maze on maze and so on never stack something other then what is at the bottom level on top. like if you have a bottom row of maze dont put scrap on top of that maze and so on. you are trying to make sure there are no huvering boxes when you sell one type of thing
Does this really work? How do you know how much rep you have earned (I didnt see it in the rep tab). Im completed about 5 salvage mission so far and havent gotten any new missions.
With the last update I lost my 890 which was sad but I also lost my Vulture and salvage rep which was worse. I got the rep back by getting a random person who was already salvaging to share the contracts until I unlocked the 30k missions and I sent 200k (50k per contract shared). First C2 I did had just under 800k worth or cargo, it's insane how much profit you can make doing these and now I'm very close to getting back my 890😂
if theres a pirate there, more likely he will have a whole team behind so you will have no chance even if u have a friend or two with you so its just as risky as trading but at least u dont lose investment. :) i wish there was a way to reward players who deal with these annoying critters.
I picked a 30k risky mission about salvaging a C2 herc... when i got there, it had no cargo at all nor i could detach its weapons... did they changed it already? Tried it on 27th
@@k4vl4r just a touch of good old SC luck for you! If you do get 2-3 duds in a row though switch servers because the one you’re on might be crapping out.
Can't even play, other than AC, due to the stupid Inventory bug and have no undersuit/helmet. Way to release another great patch CIG! Looks like I'll wait this one out like I had to do for 3.18 -- 'Player Unstowed" bug....smfh!!!!!!!!
My personal best was 226 SCU of Maze from 2 ships (with another two in between). Reddit has even higher numbers. Reddit also has confirmation from CIG that this will be nerfed, so enjoy it while we can. Also regarding the rep missions - AFAIK if you have done more than 50% of the salvage, you can drop the mission and it'll work. 3.20 change.
I don’t think you can rent a C2 so I’d say if you’re solo rent a Connie Andromeda, but better would be teaming up with someone who has a C2 and sharing the payout.
Lets go just, hit the Jack pot of a C2. 204scu of maze straight off to seraphim for a 32million payday LUL. Man what a day its been, started by losing my rep and vulture to the update. had to grind back to 30k scrape missions. what an ending and a happy one. oh and one more thing, didn't have a single error/failed sale by storing the ship before selling not helpful for scrape yards but hey JTs rolling.
and as some may notice, few (many) bug on that early .20. I have the station inventory infinite loading. pretty anoying, i cant remove my helmet to drinking, for exemple. found a solution, stations inventory are bugged, but not ships' ones ! so you have to spawn a ship, unequip helmet there, and well, go drink/eat, come back and take the helmet back ^^
Can you dock fully laden at Orison? Good to know - that was not working in PTU. Still the real money from this is in the drugs and they only sell at the scrap yards and space stations you can’t dock at yet unfortunately.
I usually take everything, just cause i'm only doing 2-3 risky's before heading off to sell, with server instabilities and interesting luck I try not to tempt fate too much LOL ... but yeah if you were gonna hot and sweaty min/max it maze, slam, widow, gold, quant pretty much. OH! also currently don't stack unlike cargo's ... the sell bit with the new boxes doesn't like it and people have been loosing a bunch of cargo sales ... if your lucky enough to see/do this while the JT event is running, when you grab maze, grab the JT mission and it counts as sales/drop off at which ever station is attached at that point, nearly doubling Maze sale price (160k/scu... I think )
@@LoudGuns absolutely, this will get nerfed ... infact I think they've started nerfing it already ... get what you can while you can... i'm focusing on just getting back the ships i lost in the 'not a wipe' .. with a nice buffer to play with some fighters, I was lucky enough to keep a couple of my big expensive ships
@@julianpr019 risky are in the personal tab .. have to do a few of the general tab legit salvages to competition to unlock the good ones in the personal tab
I have been taking advantage of the cargo found in VHRT and HRT bounties. When the mission is on the ground, certain ships are difficult to get cargo out of in soft death. Another time an 890 had a working rear bottom elevator but the landing bay doors would not open. Is there any way to open up the ship?
Well I guess I win for never buying any ships since the last time I got wiped. It's good to hear the Vulture costs a reasonable 1.3mil in game and doesn't reflect the real steep world price. The Prospector required a bit much grinding considering it was a profession starter so you were locked out the gameplay loop altogether before getting that money. Profession starter ships should be relatively quick to earn even if you only have an Aurora or Mustang and aren't that knowledgeable in the game yet.
Yeah I’m very happy with where the Vulture came in price wise, that said from true salvage I think the price reflects the lower earning potential vs mining.
A rental Prospector is plenty enough to start the mining loop. Mine the asteroids around the station you hire from, rather than travelling to a moon/belt. As long as you do a couple of runs to ensure it becomes profitable. I was using the rental back in 3.17, before it was considered worth it. I once got 14 trips out to the aron halo in a day, all with great returns.
Have you tried to sell the maze at a jumptown quest terminal? Does this still work? I saw a video a few months ago, where someone sold his maze from the salvage missions at the jumptown quest terminal and got tremendously more credits for it. Only works when jumptown is up, unfortunately. Thanks for the vid 👍
I love that there are cig employees actively surfing youtube to find these videos and then assign people on the team just to nerf the money making loop of that patch, but after three minor updates in 3.20 they still haven't fixed gem selling, so I can't work my way up from roc to prospector. It is petty as fuck.
hum ... a little update for you ... when im taking risky mission, i always get attacked by several avengenr / vulture ... so its not possible for me to just pickup the cargo and leave :'(
I have the following Salvage contract but instead of saying Risky now says Claim###### Aegis Hammerhead Salvage Rights and the other one says Claim ##### Crusader A2 Hercules Starlifter Salvage Rights on my contracts does not say Risky that's normal?
hey loud. i have been having trouble in my vulture where i cant use the mouse tracker function when im using the scrappers any tips to fix that bug/feature?
Awesome vid it will help because 3.20 is borked. Ive been doing the 10000 fee one and they are pretty profitable as well. Gonna unlock these and have a go. o7. But to people with no Vulture the 10000 personal tab risky salvage are worth it too
I wouldnt mind if they nerf this if they kept the potential to hit a million UEC load. Cause im enjoying the lottery feeling of finding a ton of drugs but its probably a little too frequent 🤣
For some reason the security will spawn sometimes when i get to the salvage and i have to end up killing them and i get a crimestat. Is there anyway to avoid them spawning early??
hello ! just a little question, what is the paint of the c2 at firsts seconds ? looks awesome ! only the Cerberus is near, but its not the same. special paint ?
@@LoudGuns omg I missed it, I'm so sad :( was a one shot sell I presume ! Well anyway your video is as always awesome. Now I'm saving for an ingame vulture (1.2m) I'm 780k/1.2 m ! Soon :)
@@LoudGuns hope so, its pretty awesome. The Cerberus is also a pretty one. But the meridian has a very cool look. And i found someone that had fun to make some art on c2 pains, and he made a Black and with some gold lines, pretty awesome, hope CIG will look at it ^^
@@LoudGuns yeah for sure. It’s definitely Causes the error from selling less then the container. Like they don’t break down into the smaller increments
Yeah I think they added 1 additional spawn chance of a crap load (all grey boxes / base metals) so that’s taken averages down, and also the sheer amount of people doing it has slowed down selling - but it’s still by far the fastest money in game.
@@LoudGuns Thank you, in the meantime I rented a Cutlass, and indeed I came across some Maze, and I earned 1M in 1 trip. It's not yet huge, but I must admit that given the machine, and my usual maximum earnings of 200 k/1h, I can't believe this tip which works well!!!. Thanks again to you. Here I "already" have more than 2 M. Which never happened to me in SC. Plus it's fun. Cooooolllll
Afraid the loop has now been nerfed in 3.21.1 - hope you’ve bought all the 890’s you need & I for one will miss the spicy encounters at Brio’s!
Sad...
Just found this video looking to make some bank for a reclaimer
its not nerfed itll take 3-5 missions to find some loot

I come to your videos for the intro and I stayed for the information. Out of all the content creators I love your intro the best.
I would recommend to sell more often instead of hoarding until the cargo hold is full as 3.20 isn't very stable rn
Thank you for explaining this. All the other videos I saw did not and I couldn't figure out why I couldnt find them.

It absolutely will / should- but in the meantime hopefully folks can buy back some ships.

no mention of what game this is in the thumbnail, title or introduction. and 0:47 they are called "patrons" not "patreons"
Holy shit, just did this w my cutlass black. And I made 1.5 mill my first run. Maze and quant
These missions are no longer available 😢
My personal best was 226 SCU of Maze from 2 ships (with another two in between). Reddit has even higher numbers.
Reddit also has confirmation from CIG that this will be nerfed, so enjoy it while we can.
Also regarding the rep missions - AFAIK if you have done more than 50% of the salvage, you can drop the mission and it'll work. 3.20 change.
Gound 132 from one ship last night and then it got eaten by the sell terminal :(
Can a corsair hold a 32 box? That is unfortunately the largest cargo ship I've got.
I read that they expanded the cargo capacity but the only way would be to try?
@@LoudGuns They expanded the internal inventory size not the cargo hold. Before it had a smaller inventory capacity than a Nomad.
yes it can
Dont want them to nerf this. Dont wanna work a second job to try out some ships. Dont mind wipes if we can earn it in back
how do you switch between tractor beam modes?
B by default
I only have my Cutlass Black, would you recommend trying the missions out with it or is renting/borrowing a C2 the way to go?
I don’t think you can rent a C2 so I’d say if you’re solo rent a Connie Andromeda, but better would be teaming up with someone who has a C2 and sharing the payout.
@@LoudGuns it’s a good thing orgs exist
Lets go just, hit the Jack pot of a C2. 204scu of maze straight off to seraphim for a 32million payday LUL. Man what a day its been, started by losing my rep and vulture to the update. had to grind back to 30k scrape missions. what an ending and a happy one. oh and one more thing, didn't have a single error/failed sale by storing the ship before selling not helpful for scrape yards but hey JTs rolling.
and as some may notice, few (many) bug on that early .20. I have the station inventory infinite loading. pretty anoying, i cant remove my helmet to drinking, for exemple. found a solution, stations inventory are bugged, but not ships' ones ! so you have to spawn a ship, unequip helmet there, and well, go drink/eat, come back and take the helmet back ^^
Just put your helmet on the ground, drink and eat, then equip it again. Don’t overcomplicate it
@@RoGueMusicOfficial last time someone earned an helmet just like that XD
@@Armathy yeah that happens too when people just want to be annoying lol
in order to sell everything, you do not need to put it in 2 tiers
It's heavily nerfed now.
i can 100% say that it got nerfd HARD. nearly no drug spawns anymore
no it’s false found 10m in an hour
Hulll C can dock at Orison and sell np.
Can you dock fully laden at Orison? Good to know - that was not working in PTU. Still the real money from this is in the drugs and they only sell at the scrap yards and space stations you can’t dock at yet unfortunately.
@@LoudGuns lol yeah probably gotta wait for pyro for drug running Hull C
I usually take everything, just cause i'm only doing 2-3 risky's before heading off to sell, with server instabilities and interesting luck I try not to tempt fate too much LOL ... but yeah if you were gonna hot and sweaty min/max it maze, slam, widow, gold, quant pretty much. OH! also currently don't stack unlike cargo's ... the sell bit with the new boxes doesn't like it and people have been loosing a bunch of cargo sales ... if your lucky enough to see/do this while the JT event is running, when you grab maze, grab the JT mission and it counts as sales/drop off at which ever station is attached at that point, nearly doubling Maze sale price (160k/scu... I think )
I’ve gone double sweaty and now only take maze and quant (will also take slam, E’tam and widow in the very big boxes)
mines does not say Risky! just everything but with out the risky word. do you think it's the same?
@@LoudGuns absolutely, this will get nerfed ... infact I think they've started nerfing it already ... get what you can while you can... i'm focusing on just getting back the ships i lost in the 'not a wipe' .. with a nice buffer to play with some fighters, I was lucky enough to keep a couple of my big expensive ships
@@julianpr019 risky are in the personal tab .. have to do a few of the general tab legit salvages to competition to unlock the good ones in the personal tab
I have been taking advantage of the cargo found in VHRT and HRT bounties. When the mission is on the ground, certain ships are difficult to get cargo out of in soft death. Another time an 890 had a working rear bottom elevator but the landing bay doors would not open. Is there any way to open up the ship?
Well I guess I win for never buying any ships since the last time I got wiped.
It's good to hear the Vulture costs a reasonable 1.3mil in game and doesn't reflect the real steep world price. The Prospector required a bit much grinding considering it was a profession starter so you were locked out the gameplay loop altogether before getting that money. Profession starter ships should be relatively quick to earn even if you only have an Aurora or Mustang and aren't that knowledgeable in the game yet.
Yeah I’m very happy with where the Vulture came in price wise, that said from true salvage I think the price reflects the lower earning potential vs mining.
A rental Prospector is plenty enough to start the mining loop. Mine the asteroids around the station you hire from, rather than travelling to a moon/belt. As long as you do a couple of runs to ensure it becomes profitable.
I was using the rental back in 3.17, before it was considered worth it. I once got 14 trips out to the aron halo in a day, all with great returns.
OMG I though I had to do the 10k risky missions to build the rep to get the 30k ones, I've been wasting my time!!
Have you tried to sell the maze at a jumptown quest terminal? Does this still work? I saw a video a few months ago, where someone sold his maze from the salvage missions at the jumptown quest terminal and got tremendously more credits for it. Only works when jumptown is up, unfortunately.
Thanks for the vid 👍
I did when it was active. I got in the realm of 1.5 mil for about 10 minutes of work
where is the jumpwotnw quest terminal
@@Admiral_Grufus
@@ahmedfarah4094 it’s only up sometimes. If you accept the mission under priority it’ll show you which terminal to sell to
I love that there are cig employees actively surfing youtube to find these videos and then assign people on the team just to nerf the money making loop of that patch, but after three minor updates in 3.20 they still haven't fixed gem selling, so I can't work my way up from roc to prospector. It is petty as fuck.
I GET OTIG FROM THIS
@@CurtisAaronD One Team in Glasgow? Celtic all the way baby!
@@LoudGuns lol it should say nothing lol
hum ... a little update for you ... when im taking risky mission, i always get attacked by several avengenr / vulture ... so its not possible for me to just pickup the cargo and leave :'(
It’s unfortunate I’ll be busy the next two days, since there’s no way I’ll be able to actually do this this patch.
I like how you call it a wipe but not a wipe cause iv lost a drake cutlas black and all my ship weapon configs but kept a c8r
I have the following Salvage contract but instead of saying Risky now says Claim###### Aegis Hammerhead Salvage Rights and the other one says Claim ##### Crusader A2 Hercules Starlifter Salvage Rights on my contracts does not say Risky that's normal?
hey loud. i have been having trouble in my vulture where i cant use the mouse tracker function when im using the scrappers any tips to fix that bug/feature?
Awesome vid it will help because 3.20 is borked. Ive been doing the 10000 fee one and they are pretty profitable as well. Gonna unlock these and have a go. o7. But to people with no Vulture the 10000 personal tab risky salvage are worth it too
I wouldnt mind if they nerf this if they kept the potential to hit a million UEC load. Cause im enjoying the lottery feeling of finding a ton of drugs but its probably a little too frequent 🤣
For some reason the security will spawn sometimes when i get to the salvage and i have to end up killing them and i get a crimestat. Is there anyway to avoid them spawning early??
Risky salvage missions back?
I have tried this several times and all vessels are turning up empty....
If you get an empty one switch servers. Can confirm it’s all working ok as of last night since I pulled 24m in.
hello ! just a little question, what is the paint of the c2 at firsts seconds ? looks awesome ! only the Cerberus is near, but its not the same. special paint ?
Hey, it’s the new Meridian paint from pirate week (and I agree it’s already one of my very favourite paints)!
@@LoudGuns omg I missed it, I'm so sad :( was a one shot sell I presume !
Well anyway your video is as always awesome. Now I'm saving for an ingame vulture (1.2m) I'm 780k/1.2 m ! Soon :)
@@Armathy as ever I would imagine it will be back - either at IAE or next pirate week 👍
@@LoudGuns hope so, its pretty awesome. The Cerberus is also a pretty one. But the meridian has a very cool look. And i found someone that had fun to make some art on c2 pains, and he made a Black and with some gold lines, pretty awesome, hope CIG will look at it ^^
God I love silver aril. too bad it's just pretty expensive in the pledge store and can't buy it in game
What should I do when there is no demand on the scrapyard? switch server?
Unfortunately waiting is the most trusty method - inventories are shared across servers. Keep an eye on the skies though!
When I approached the C2 that was marked, I was immediately attacked by some security forces and got a crimestat of 4. Any way to avoid this?
so did they nerf this in 3.20/21 ??
Is there a spread shear or something that shows what materials are illegal and what not, what’s worth taking and where to sell? Can’t find anything
If you join our discord server you’ll find a basic one in the announcements channel
Yeah might get nurfed on chance to spawn and quantities. But it currently also Promotes piracy
Indeed, and I think quite importantly it creates a lot of testing of the new cargo boxes and mechanics.
@@LoudGuns yeah for sure. It’s definitely
Causes the error from selling less then the container. Like they don’t break down into the smaller increments
Is there any ship i could rent that would hold the 32scu boxes? I only have a cutless
I don't think so
@coyotewall2669 actually figured out you can fit two on the Connie Andromeda so made some of money renting that
I've been calling it the "not wipe"
The definitely not a wipe 😂
best ive seen in riskies is neon as of 3.22, maybe my luck is just that bad:/
Anyone know if this still works?
I've been running it for the past few days, seems like they changed it but it is still around 2 mil an hour
Yeah I think they added 1 additional spawn chance of a crap load (all grey boxes / base metals) so that’s taken averages down, and also the sheer amount of people doing it has slowed down selling - but it’s still by far the fastest money in game.
@@Totemwolfdog do you know if they changed the regular 30k missions to 50k missions?
Does a caterpillar work too?
It certainly works, just isn’t as efficient with the shape of the space 👍
Yes, but do you have to have a Hercules, without that I don't see how to do it.
Thx
You can make reasonable money in a rental Connie (at least enough to make grinding for a C2 not too bad)
@@LoudGuns thx
@@LoudGuns Thank you, in the meantime I rented a Cutlass, and indeed I came across some Maze, and I earned 1M in 1 trip. It's not yet huge, but I must admit that given the machine, and my usual maximum earnings of 200 k/1h, I can't believe this tip which works well!!!. Thanks again to you. Here I "already" have more than 2 M. Which never happened to me in SC. Plus it's fun. Cooooolllll
