Wish the RAFT could hook the ATLS on the back like a truck with a forklift.

A tip I learned for the awkward view for the atls is to angle the mech in a stationary spot and hold or tap z to free look around, the tractor beam still works and I can just point and click to my heart's content.

I accepted and I did 10 cargo mission at the same time in my C2 (Baijini to Area18) 2 orders were going to Baijini and 8 were coming back to Area18 from Baijini just to build up the REP faster. Lots of 1SCU boxes made it interesting for sure lol. It was fun and only made 160k for a 1 1/2 hour run but it was fun with the ATLS as it really reduces the times to load and unload. Those big boxes are definitely hard to place for sure as you can't see the drop location. You have a good system going. I used to drive semis and did LTL deliveries and used to load my 53' trailers myself so yes you need a system lol. Thanks for another great video Farrister. Cheers

I'm really loving the calming effect your choice of music lends to the video!

I did not like using the Hercules (I have a C2) during 3.24 PTU. But with 3.24.1 and the ATLS, I absolutely love using it for Cargo Hauling. They are a match made in heaven.

Just so you know on the size hanger you were using here there is a cargo elevator immediately on your right when you go in the hanger. There are 2 in each hanger. If you park the Hercules at an angle there would be a freight elevator at both the front and back cargo doors.

For cargo REP, one need to do same level mission at whatever you're top level is at, any missions below that level do NOT seem to earn REP or if it does it's a tiny fraction.
Small means 1-4 SCU size contains, Medium size 8 SCU for rookie to member level, above it's 8-16 SCU size containers, Large 32 SCU size containers.
At Experienced level you do have to watch it carefully (unless flying a Hull C) while a large mission may say it's only 496 SCU and your hauler (M2 just to use Farristers ship) can carry more than that with a 522 SCU total, but it's limited to only 7 32 SCU containers (at least within the official cargo grid), the mission will spawn 15 32 SCU & 1 16 SCU

I dont even really play anymore, but still watch these vids. They're so relaxing lol

I used to drive an ATLAS (all terrain army loading system) so it made sense for me to call it "atlas"

[ThBrknMnky]

Excellent point regarding hauling missions and not having to sink your own capital into acquiring goods and getting them to their destination with all the potential calamity. Great stuff, Farrister! 😉👍

[Fletchman]

Perfect timing! I was wondering about the ATLS after spending 10 minutes trying to load 91 SCU into a C2.

[Kakeyoro]

The ironic and missed name/play on words is that the ATLS is said to be a "Titan" suit in which Atlas was a Greek titan that held up the sky.

[HowlBack]

Awesome video. I too have the M2 with recently purchased ATLS. The ATLS is a MUST! for cargo. Hands down, the best purchase in the game for me. Ive had the M2 since release. The extra armor defense capability (which is still yet to be brough into the game apparently). I like your organization, both with contracts and the loading process.
When 30K is fixed i will do like you with ship positioning and multi-contracts.

[sysko]

Yep the M2, I’m well pleased with what it trades off for cargo capacity. I thought it’d survive till launch, 😂, now also got $5 ccu to ironclad.

[Bell_the_Cat]

I like using the ATLS. On the moving cargo matter, I've found the easiest way for me is trying to position myself behind the crates as much as possible and moving them ahead of me, out the back of the cargo hold. This has been predominantly on the C1. Regardless, success is ultimately dependent on positioning your ship next to the freight elevator.

[slipshft]

One note that I made is that the Freight Elevator while at the warehouse, you can click on multiple items to select them, then click move all instead of clicking and moving them one at a time on the freight screen.

[UnlimitedSpadeWorks]

I kinda get what you mean about Atlas feeling old greek, but what did you think Argo was from?

[davidfolks]

The name Atlas would make sense, as in mythology he held the earth up on his shoulders. Same way that with the ATLS you can lift Boxes much bigger than you are

[obaniehia]

Honestly, been running the Argo MPUV tractor and just keep the ATLS for hanger work. didn't know this when it dropped but the MPUV Tractor has a 16SCU cargo grid on it and it is great for pulling cargo from wrecked ships

[commanderroddi]

, a pair of ATLS is a must with large haulers. If cargo is your gane
