Using The Entire Mackerel - In A Single Shift (Video Guide)
By Ammo Donkey
How to get the entire T2 Mackarel processed in a single shift. There will be waste, but you'll come out with around 3 million credits, which is a much higher payout for your time than meticulously taking it apart over multiple shifts.
It's called efficiency.

a good, relatively, safe way to depressurize the ship if all the consoles are nonfunctional, is to pop open the thruster port in the aft of the ship, you can even disengage the the engine so it flies on out without worry. i would not only recommend leaving the ship in one piece doing so but teather it to the bay so it does not fly out.

I've found it's way more effective to leave the cockpit bolts intact and instead hit the 8 corner trim pieces around the outside of the cockpit walls using the stinger, to separate it from the front hull segment containing the windshield. Those trim pieces are actually under a bit of preload tension, and the front will just pop free and glide off once you've got all 8 bits of trim, leaving you with wide-open access to get all the barge items from inside the cockpit and leaving all the cockpit aluminum still connected to the carcass.

A lot of waste. Are you playing on career or open shifts? I do like the idea of using the cutter to open up all the attachment points in one hit though.

I like to just strip all the nano carbon and exterior barge items, and then just dunk the whole thing into the barge, F the furnace

That seems a lot more time efficient than my strategy of doing it all in two shifts. A fellow no-max cutter, big brain

Yeah, I should have mentioned that the airlock handles count as mechanicals for work orders in the guide. I am planning on making a second video for T3 this weekend, and I'll make sure to mention it there. Thanks for pointing it out!
