Large Cargo Javelin - RACE 99 - Hardspace Shipbreaker Speedrun 

Explanation as to why I claim first place but don't appear atop the leader board, since a couple of people asked and to avoid having to copy paste the same message every time :) The #1 indicated on the board is not legitimate. I'd go into details as to why, but we have a semi-official policy among RACErs to just completely disregard cheaters and avoid discussing them in any way shape or form. If you're ever confused, at the end of the video, I click on the ten first people in RACE and I avoid clicking on any known cheaters.

Imagine vibing in control expecting another slow work day, then some guy just strips an entire Heavy Cargo ship in 17 mins

Things i learned watching this video; 1. Atmosphere regulators and brakes are for chumps. 2. You can slash your laser cutter like a light saber. 3. Im not good at this game.

dudes using that beam cutter near fuel tanks giving me anxiety attacks lol

Geez. I thought I was fast getting javelins done in two to three hauls. This is beautiful. Good work on first place!!

that first reactor extraction was a thing of beauty

this is what i hoped to find when i searched "hardspace speedrun"

control probably sitting watchin the helmet cam jaw on the floor as they witness a cutter gut and salvage a full cargo javelin in one shift

When you're on the clock but your lunch break is in 20 minutes:

By far my favourite trick there is tied between tethering the cargo bins to themselves (by far my least favourite part of the larger ships) and clipping the air filters to make them release without atomising the frame. What a wonderful job; you clearly put a lot of practice into honing your techniques here!

hal would be proud... for this he would bump up a hazard for your team

I usually do it in an order: depressurize, barge reactor, remove everything that's just attached to the ship, remove the plates on the outside of the ship, barge everything inside the ship, throw the rest in the furnace. that would take me like an hour or so in total lol

Sooo... If you do that 28 times you could pay off your debt 🤔 (1'000'000,000/36'000,000 = 27.77 )

Like watching an artist at work

Stupendous! I like Leek's precise, measured movement a lot, but nothing beats your decisive, bold flourishes. 2:50 YOLO. 5:51 props for using the diagonal backside cuts for nacelles, it's the best approach.

Daymn Cutter... it would take me like five shifts to do this kind of ship and you tore through it in the space of one! 😳

Small tip I noticed: when you have 2 airlocks face to face, you don't have to cut them out of their frames. Just separate them from the door panel on their own side by cutting the 2 horizontal beams and you can pull both airlocks out the middle then launch the door panels with the frames still attached.

I remember armor plate abuses, players were able to cut it into billion pieces and every part counted as full plate, lol

you're out there making Hal proud :D

I watched this to get some tips on how to just be better at the normal game. That move where you use tethers on barge items to loosen them up and keep them together is awesome. The tether move where you go back and forth to connect stuff twice as fast is also great to know!

This is insane, I stick on ASMR and chill taking my time relaxing.

Im new to this game and this was just awesome to watch.

This is the sickest gameplay I have ever seen. You are a legend

Pretty lucky on the antennas and tank cage that you didn't need to cut them with demo charges. That always slows me down

Most likely better than how i play it. I am the type who starts from the inside out making sure that the fuel lines are flushed, thrusters are released, all airlock doors are cut out, then make my way into the space between the chasis and the outer shell, detatch all the cutting points that hold the two together, including the cockpit. It may take long but a lot of the times I have moved large pieces, thirds to almost halves of ships to their coresponding salvage deposit ports. How I manage to do that is to use an object that is heavy but still light enough for you, the player, to move when you attach your beam and drag it just by using your thrusters. It is one of those satisfying moments seeing that your progress bar fills up significantly and not see a deduction for sending in the wrong material. I cannot say when I play it that it all goes perfect. There are times when I do play I have made so little mistakes to where there is a section of red in the progress bar that is probably a few pixels wide. Other times it is prominently seen.

Working under Hal Rhodes be like

Good lord. Why do Mark IIs always explode on me when I lightly sneeze in their direction?

This game in VR would go pretty hard.

It is a bit weird that the laser can diffract and hit other objects when firing as a simple beam, but when in the mode for meant cutting wide gouges, it always hits its target with perfect precision.

This is a masterclass

Astounding

10:11 ohh that's such a good trick Congrats on first place! Edit: I'm a bit confused after finishing the video, since it says #2 on ranking

Holy crap, that run

Dude wtf. I am so fired.

Ah, so this is why the shift time is only 15 minutes.

employe of the month

Well ain't you the good little lynx employee 😂😂

So *this* is what's called a "rapid unplanned disassembly"?

someone really wants to get out of dept

Daaaaaang that fast

impressive

W O W

holy shit

Holy shit

Nice

Prior to the Video: I can get get a Jav scrapped in 3 shifts, so I'm pretty good. Post video: MY LIFE IS A LIE!

Why do your lamps glow?

the way they cut around the fuel tank stresses me out so much

There's a few times around halfway through the video that you're aiming at a panel but the laser cuts the yellow beams. I smell something hinky going on

This game can get kinda disorienting. Im super impressed. I hope to get to a modest level of productivity but I wonder if your capable of getting out of debt???. This game needs a radio station as well!

I spy second place...

first place? It says your ranking is #2

this doesn't look fun :(
