- Star Citizen is an incredible complex and hard game to get into. These are all the tips and tricks I wish someone had told me about when I was a new player.

I love that people are still forgetting to put their helmets on before going outside and into the vacuum of space. One of my favorite memories from my first experience in Star Citizen in 2016. LOL
I've never, *ever* done that. Specially when playing with LevelCap. Not once. Nope. No sir. Don't know what you're talking about.
(God I hope he didn't record that one time...)
@@JasonVanPatten LOL
Yup happens to me atleast once a day lol. Would be nice if they gave the option to just hold your helmet while you eat and put it back on when done
The helmet mechanic is clumsy, I agree. What I usually do is take it off in a space station/port so I don't have to listen to myself Darth Vadering while walking around. I chuck it in my backpack. Then, scatter-brained me: I forget to put it back *on* before walking out onto the pad.
@@JasonVanPatten Been playing from start. 3 times in last week.
"Your first crime stat will not be intentional"
I was so careful, and as I was preparing to log off the game assigned a player the landing pad I was already on, destroyed both ships, and gave ME the crime stat for killing them.
The pirate life chose me I suppose
Referral code for new players: STAR-DK2P-PBTK
Yeah... There's the moment of fine if you want me to be a criminal I'll just be a criminal.
I fell through an elevator in nothing but a medical gown so I died and simultaneously wound up trespassing so I was revived in prison.
@@joeylk4d4 lol!!!!! 😅
My first crimestat was my first take off, me and my friend in my cutty black, I go in 3rd person, I didn't realize what the mouse wheel did, I figured it did nothing as I thought it was zoom in and out while in 3rd person and I go to raise the ship off the ground and my ship flies right into the doors as they are just opening.
One really useful thing i noticed recently is that, when you land at a planetary outpost, the building that has the buy/sell terminal is the one with the sort of orange, c-shaped antenna sticking out of it, usually with some lights on it. Saves a lot of frustration and opening multiple airlocks when you know that.
If your ship is getting blown over by the wind on the Microtech moons - land with your nose facing the wind.
Keeping your velocity limiter in the blue makes your ship more manoeuvreable
Huge tip: If you intend to make millions quickly make your first big money purchase a prospector. As a fellow new player myself I know how tempting it is to save for a dream ship but I went from investing all of my money on the Prospector to making that money back in a few days.
I've been hiring one every now and then, but alas, not once have I been able to mine asteroids without it glitching :( It's ok though, ROC mining has been kind to me
@@SSZaris Renting the prospector your loosing money there. Unless you can glitch on a better head and mine quantanium then your profit is limited, even trying to break even for the rental cost.
@@DJLKM1 Yea my intention was to try and learn asteroid mining since it feels like the next step up from ROC mining, but it was just a disaster all round. Ship randomly exploded, ore never refined, asteroids randomly exploded (even ones I wasn't mining) pirates constantly attacked, and the list goes on. I can make really good money renting a Roc and Cutlass, to the point where I can buy a Mole, but I'm very hesitant because of my time with the Prospector
@@SSZaris I hear you on all that. Though ive not had a good time ROc mining, couple of runs ive been on my ship ended up vanishing just as i stepped off it and another attempt i got a 30k, so kinda haven't bothered since. I did buy a prospector and upgraded it. Went quant mining for the first time. Didn't get alot, but refined it, moved it to my Max that was stored, called the Max only to find it spawned empty, several times. So the game basically stole my first quant runs profits lol.
@@DJLKM1 Big oof :( I've found I can get about 500k and hour just hadenite mining in the roc, more if you've got a mate to fly for you. I'll just say it's the least buggy experience I've had mining XD All though, right before Invictus I got a bug where all of my ships were removed from my account, and CIG haven't gotten back to me. Tried resets and everything. Suffice it to say I'm slightly more than a little pissed off so I think I'm giving the game a break until 3.18, or until they give my ships back XD
This was very good. Been playing for a while and you have nailed the most common issues most players encounter. Thank you for covering this game.
Cannot stress enough about playing with a group, just so much more fun all around
7:30 correction: you keep reputation. You just need to do contract evaluation missions again, but your overall reputation doesn’t reset. Also you keep everything but consumables, such as ammo and medpens.
You keep money?
@@reasonabledictator8993 yes
@@AdderFTW888 Theoretically, yes.
@@AdderFTW888 It occasionally happened that ships purchased in game were gone after a character reset during last year and the year before, tho I haven't heard any of that for a long time.
@@AdderFTW888 yes
Holding F and using the WASD keys to swap between consoles was the best tip ever given to me.
given to us*
Between what consoles? O:
@@Schimml0rd your flight consoles. stopped me many times from accidently turning my power off trying to contact landing services. swapping between your consoles gives your mouse priority on that console it seems.
@@CanaDaylen bruh, my life until now has been a lie
@@Schimml0rd the real hero is the random man on global who taught me this.
An SSD is a must. I started out with just an HDD and even though I could technically play, I had a multitude of extra bugs (which went away with an SSD) and you'll need to spend about 10 minuets every time you travel to a new location just standing in place for the game to fully stream the data to your drive.
I would capitalize, "SSD is a MUST". So often people complain about bugs that are simply loading issues.
@@tlove21 They need to do a better job on the purchase page of the game explaining this too
@@SSZaris On the purchase page.
Make sure your PC can run Star Citizen before you download.
PC REQUIREMENTS;
Windows 8 (64bit), Windows 10 - Anniversary Update (64bit) DirectX 11 Graphics Card with 3GB RAM (4GB strongly recommended) Quad Core CPU with AVX instructions (Intel’s Sandy Bridge processor and AMD’s Bulldozer processor or newer) 16GB+ RAM SSD strongly recommended
@@crazyjackal Keep defending them, they'll keep producing a sub-standard product. They need to be held accountable for their practices. It should be SSD required, not recommended.
They also made it very easy to purchase content while making it impossible to use it. I've bought 3 ships over the last year and not once have I been able to use them. Can I get a response from CIG? Of course not. Next course of action is to ask on the forums, where I get told to "come back when you've spent more than $1k". Such a great "community".
If the excuse of "it's an alpha" is going to keep being used then we also need a way of communicating the bugs to them properly. I don't mind being an alpha tester, but if they won't take us seriously then they need to stop charging for it until they can. It's literally theft at this stage.
@@SSZaris were these ships you bought already in the game or were they concept sales? If they are already in the game, you should have no issue using them. If they are concept ships, they arent in the game yet. It pays to read everything.
What other Star Citizen gameplay or mechanics would you guys like a guide for?
Probably CrimeStat cleaning and prison merits
I'm with Dee, even after hundreds of hours in game I still don't know fully how to clear crime stat, and it took 4-5 trips to the brig to figure out hand mining and prison missions
Pvp space combat
Oh your going to love jumptown when it comes back soon. Epic on foot PVP battles fighting over territory haha. Organizing PVP events with org buddies is probably best way to have fun now while we all wait for jumptown and the new secret event coming to orison within a month.
Mining and also how to find points of interests like caves or derelict ships for loot
Really valued your Bf3 gun reviews back in the day. Think you'll be really good for SC. Looking forward to it.
Oh how about the loadout series, with SC he can do Ship Loadout :D
Oh hell yes!!! Gimme thooouse!!!
The mustang alpha should be recalled, or given as a bonus ship for purchasing any of the other packages
nice tips!
Some extras you could use :
shortcut C when flying is cruise control, Make sure to turn it off again when landing.
Ctrl - C Decouples your ship so it keeps momentum when flying, Make sure your'e flying 'coupled' when landing.
Some smaller ships have low hit points, rough landing without putting down your landing gear will explode the ship (Toggle landing gear is N )
Holding F and right click will turn up your inner thought menu, there's some handy shortcuts there, like removing your helmet to drink or eat.
Ctrl C does that?! Amazing, thank you!
This guide was PEFECT. You've done the community a great service!! Man, I wish I watched something like this when I started out!
Kudos for shining a light on Erkul, that site is amazing. Thanks to whoever runs that
Probably the best starter video for Star Citizen I've seen. I expect this to be the defacto standard starting video for SC. LevelCap and Ollie are the reason why as a backer from 2012 I built a PC and started playing. Everything in this video described my first 20 hours of in game play, great advice.
I like the realism of the ammunition mechanics. Having to exchange your empties and having low magazines on a mission seems better than in every other game where the magazines just magically refill when you put the low magazine back in your carrier
There was only one game that did that before SC, as far as I know: the original Mafia from (I think) 2003.
@@ElroyTimmermans Firearms, Half-life mod did that. It even had switched gun safety.
@@ElroyTimmermans Into the Radius (VR game) does that mechanic excellently.
There is at least one other PC game that did that, I just don't remember which game, but I remember it being annoying cause you gotta get used to it after years of magical reloada
Escape from tarkov works like that, you can also fill up those empty mags if you have some spare rounds in your inventory. I would say that game has the most advanced weapons system.
Thanks, nice summary.
I wish I had this video 2 years ago when I started playing on a regular base.
Other tips:
- F12 toggles your ingamechat-display
- Start with Box-missions (courier). There you learn the basics (landing/takingoff, flying, travel, navigation, interaction) and it gives OK money.
See you in the verse o7
It’s beautiful to see that kind of exposure for Star Citizen. The Mustag Alpha gets some fixes in 3.17.2 and will allow for box missions (fingers crossed).
I been having that piece of shit for a year now.
@@NOLA_playmaker The sale claimed another victim (me)
Edit: Hahahaha psyche I upgraded to the Titan
Pls tell me they did it, I just bought the game and got the Mustang😭😭😭😭
@@NOLA_playmaker is there storage now?
That was a super comprehensive and well paced list of essential knowledge of the Verse. Well done!
I just want to say how cool these devs/support/whoever are. I had watched plenty of videos on this game and when I saw it was F2P I downloaded it. I then watched LevelCap’s video and realized where I had chosen to be my home base… I requested a reset, telling them exactly why I wanted to in two sentences, and they rest my character so I can choose a new spawn point. I have my money and everything. Absolute Legends.
It's not f2p though... You need a game package to play the game.
It’s really exciting to see more well-known gaming channels beginning to make more serious content about the game. This hasn’t really happened in years, but now it’s starting to pick up and I can only guess that’s because SC is starting to look and feel more and more like the game it’s meant to be.
Thanks LevelCap! See you in the ‘Verse some day, hopefully.
I´ve been following the project sice 2013 and still learned something new. Thank you for this, very helpful!
The Origin 100 series has the very useful party trick of being able to be called in at Platinum Bay spawn pads at outposts. Currently there are about 12 ships you can do this with, but the 100's are the least expensive and most useful.
Also worth noting that with 3.17, the Mustang Alpha is getting the ability to stow mission boxes in the rear cargo area, making it a solid alternative to the Aurora, especially if you think you're going to start with combat missions.
I've been playing SC for years and I still learned quite a bit from this. Many thanks, LC!
Oh man, you have really opened up what kind of game this for me. I will love this game. Thank you!!
Thank you. This is the best video I have seen. My first crime stat was not stopping for inspection above Microtech 😅
Thanks to you and Olli, I'm going to be giving SC a try. (Once my fuel tank lets me!) The content that both of you have provided is hugely entertaining and informative. Thank you!!
You can play for free on the 20th, for 2 weeks I believe...
@@entityself3104 sweet! I was wondering when they were going to have another free play event. Thanks!!
Loved the video as your coverage on this game has gotten me more involved in the universe of Star citizen. Would love to see you cover the new console release Arma Reforger! Could be a cool game to look at!
Also, go to settings and turn on padlocking. This will allow your character's head to always track the target ship wherever they go. Good for missiles since they use your visors to spool up and to always have vision of your target. You can add a keybind for it under Vehicle-Targeting which I highly recommend you do so instead of leaving it on at all times so you can turn it off when you don't need to keep looking at the enemy.
Crazy too see how far it's come. I remember when you did the video where it was just a ship in a hanger and nothing else.
bought this last week (thanks to you LC) wish this was up then, took me about a week and20 videos to learn all these things and here there all are in one neat video lol
If you have more than 2 guns use in ship controls to set them to 2 separate fire groups to allow recharge on one set while still firing other or to save ballistic rounds 😉
so glad you joined the community bro! it is the only game i play anymore... and i'm sure you dont really care with that loaded subscriber list! but i never heard of you until you started dropping SC vids and you immediately got me as a sub because you make good content. keep it up and i would love to fly with ya in the verse...
Another tip, power management. When dogfighting always all power to shields, only have power to engines or weapon's when you need to recharge. Shields re-charge when not hit for a few seconds. The larger ships have shield facings, so you can divert more power to the front, rear or sides using the numpad keyes
Unless you're a good Aegis Gladius player and almost never get hit. Lol Not saying I am one but I have seen some people do crazy stuff in that little fighter.
A good 4th option even though it won't win most combat bounties it still has a good jack of trades... Nomad is good but has its uses it is the smallest option to equip a roc mining buggy. but also offers a interior to log out in. between a cutty and titan on price just thought i would mention this.
So much to take in.
I wil have to watch this over and over as I play.
As someone who started following your channel for BF4 tips, and someone who just got Star Citizen, I was hoping you'd do a video like this earlier today.
IMPORTANT TIP: When calling an elevator in Stations or Planet cities, call it and step back a few meters. Once the doors open and you see the elevator then you can sefely board it. Elevators and stair cases kill players.
Started playing yesterday. Without any tutorial or watching howto videos. Learned about this glitch the hard way after 5 minutes of play... Since then I always take a step back after calling the elevator or waiting for the sub...
Yeah, just had this happen when I was trying to go to the Spaceport *for the first time*. Wasn't even that close to the door, just turned around as they were opening then *WHOOSH*, right through the floor.
Excellent video thank’s. Might finally be trying this in a few weeks, although I’m still not completely off the fence. Every time I manage to talk myself into it, I see or read something that makes me think “wait….what?”. If this is the time though, these tips have been really useful.
I was watching you're livestream with morphologist and heard how you wanted to make ur new player guide different and i was looking forward to how you would present it.
Picked up this game at the weekend following your and Jackfrags videos. Janky? Sure but still a whole lot of fun. More SC videos please!! o7
perfect guide. This would help a lot of new players well done for this video ! thanks for that
I would add 4 more to what he said in the video:
1) That thing that shows you where your ship is going is called the Pilot Velocity Indicator. By default it fades away when it comes near the middle of the screen which is bad because when u don't see it u don't immediately know if its off screen or or faded because its in the middle. Go into Game Options -> Pilot Velocity Indicator and change it from Fading to Always On.
2) When selecting a location on or around a planet/moon, double click the planet or moon before trying to select it. If you don't no amount of clicking will select the location. Just double click , you might zoom out, zoom back in and hover the mouse over the location and u'll see the green line allowing you to select it.
3) For the helmet just take a look in the bottom right hand corner for a faded X, it represents the ammo count of your weapon and iits only there when you have the hud from the helmet on.
4) The Voyage Quantum drive would also work and its available at more places. The starting areas like New Babbage (Omega Pro) and Baijini point (Platinum Bay) above Area 18. Coincidentally those are also the same places you can get the best starter shields for your ship as well , the Palisade.
I think one of the most confusing thing is inventory at start. When you start you don't have a backpack and the inventory you are seeing is the storage you have in the base you are at. When you jump in your ship and fly away things disappear because of that.
its not THAT diffucult
@@MylesLong82 It's not *difficult* but it's *confusing* because no other game does it, and it's not explained (outside of one label when you hit "i"). So it's something you either learn from experience, or someone telling you.
... as someone brand new, thank you @Esser
@@boogeyratt Good. You agree with me. Thanks.
You can link your ship boost to the spacebreak to have better stopping power, but some times you will still need to use the about face maneuver to slow you down quicker, and if you use spacebreak with boost at the same time it'll stop your ship faster than just rear facing and using engines. Other than that a well explained new player video, you covered a lot in this.
They finally fixed the cargohold on the Mustang Alpha.
You can now lower it, put boxes in it, and even climb inside if you really want to.
Good quick guide. Many great tips in there.
As for ship weapons, I prefer laser cannons. They have a fairly rapid rate of fire, but do more alpha damage, and have typically 50% more sustained DPS. So sustained DPS takes into account the recharge time of the energy weapon capacitor.
I agree canons are better for a lot of NPC missions but the projectile velocity is slower making them harder to aim. hence repeaters for new players until you start to get a feel for the game and want to experiment more.
You packed a great 25 minute player tutorial into 11 minutes. You earned a like and a new sub.
although i knew almost everything you told as a early baker, its a great collective of useful tipps for early players! Thenks alot for that work!
Great intro video! I also made the mistake of jumping out of my ship on a space station pad without my helmet on. What I do as a quick check is to hit alt+x to do a visor wipe. If my helmet is off, it won't wipe and you'll know very quickly.
Thanks for this tip 👍🏻
A good tip for quantum traveling is to go full speed when your about to jump, it seems to stop the bug where it can't keep the jump icon locked. Good luck citizen.
YESSSSS. Anvil Terrapin !! Totally pointless right now, but I still love the look of the ship.
Some more stuff:
1) If you buy a new quantum drive and put it on your ship, you will need to go into the POWER MFD, the ITEMS tab, and click on the power button next to the new drive in the list, or it won't function
2) F4 is external view, but your control input is still active, which can be disorientating. When in external view, HOLD Z and then move your mouse to change the view angle without changing the vector of your ship. Release Z when you want to have control of the ship again. And when coming down to land in hangars and such, angle your external view to top-down, so you can very easily see your ship fitting through the hangar doors.
3) You need ammo and med refills individually placed on your armor in order to be able to reload. You won't reload if you have ammo in inventory only.
4) ALT X wipes your helmet visor. T turns on FPS torch. But in ships L turns on your ship lights.
5) You can share missions with people and they will share in the credit reward (such as bounty missions). the right bracket key ] is the accept option for on screen invites (which do not appear for very long, so be quick to accept)
6) Be careful about pressing BACKSPACE when in the pilot seat as its default keybind is self destruct......
7) Leaving ships too long on landing pads or in hangars will eventually get them impounded. So don't linger too long and get them stored.
8) Pressing C while driving or flying is auto-cruise. Careful not to press this when your throttle is set to max as you will inevitably fly into something you didn't want to. Generally turn auto-cruise off just before a quantum jump too.
6) Rebind self-destruct asap. Or unbind it. You dont really need it in game right now.
OMFG as a Noob it's been so frustrating trying to accomplish missions, head out, only to be greeted with being on the wrong side of the planet to get to the location. I've been so pissed with the time I have to waste to then get around the other side. Never knew about the icons telling you that such is the case.
Same tip with setting up on a orbital station instead of city; I'll be doing that the next time I fire up the game because it does drain so much time just trying to get out to a location (bed > city > transport system > terminal > hangar > atmosphere > finally to space).
Thanks for making this vid for us SC Noobs o7
Solid tips. Highly recommend all of these
excellent new player guide! Can't wait for more of your video's!
An FPS guide would be amazing. I don't think many SC players or ED players are very good at Star Citizen FPS. Please help!
I'm depolyed right now so I really appreciate the content of star citizen been waiting for my Scorpius since concept, long time fan! ❤️
be safe bro
a good tip i'd like to add, holding shift for boost while not using any directional inputs will help you kill velocity faster if in coupled mode. its not something someone often thinks about but makes sense when you think about it.
note: I would highly recommend setting one of the displays in your ship cockpit to the comms menu, and then you can get the clearances without opening up menus
Use the G key to cycle Gimbal Assist mode on and off for your guns. It's a huge help to new pilots to have it on, and almost all starter ships come stock with gimbals. Be aware that activating your quantum drive or going into missile operator mode will reset your gimbals to off.
Love all the SC content... it's gotten me back into it.
You uses to do gun reviews in BF.... Maybe some SC gun or ship reviews? ;)
i knew all these nuances without knowing i had to know them.
THIS IS SUPER USEFUL INFORMATION.
I have been playing this game a longtime. Still a couple of things from this piece. One of my tips would be. Always wear your helmet in a station. You never know when you might walk into an empty lift shaft and find yourself out in space. 😂 Thanks for the video. Brilliant.
Learned that the broken lines means its on the other side of moon or planet and learned about the website I gotta go check out. Subbed and thanks!
Hit the R key to engage flight ready, it turns everything on! In the gladius when you hit R it gives you a pretty cool startup animation!
Requesting takeoff and landing can also be done via the MFDs in the cockpit for a more immersive feel if so desired. But with the new keybind option I doubt many people will do it any other way from now on. =P
You also mentioned security guards being in white or yellow armor. Security for the ArcCorp bunker missions wear red.
Don’t even need to request take off, just landing
@@fomo_9386 You do when you are in a hangar. Just not on a pad.
Great friendly helpful video. Game definitely doesn't have a new player friendly experience and we all remember going through this stuff.
You can also use the "R" binding in ground vehicles and turrets instead of searching for the power button.
This! He never said r. Idk if it's newer or something but ya r is my goto
Very good tips, especially the buggy routes and missions
A really nice guide for new players today. I hope more and more people get interested in SC after more big TH-camr cover it.
But I think the most people can't even reach a playable fps to really "get good" or something 😅
Oh man that manual magazine system is aweeeeesome. Really wish I could play this lol I also wish more fps games offered hardcore options like that. Where you have to choose between the speed of just dropping your current mag and losing any remaining rounds, with the prudence of putting it back in its pouch and risking the longer reload. That's so great : )
Pro Tip:
Go to Options> Game Settings> Scroll to "Pilot - Velocity Indicator" Change to "Always on" So that little indicator doesn't keep fading out.
Keep the SC content coming, bro! 🔥
The “spin around to use rear thrusters” reminds me of space engineer, where you could accelerate to max speed, turn off engines, spin around and wait for the appropriate distance to start slowing down using rear thrusters.
Someone did this analysis and the cheap RSI thing with the door that opens to ground level was the best for box missions that then give you access to security outpost missions, it's easy in easy out and cheap to fly
I think it helps having a friend like Ollie and AV1 LOL along with Morph LOL
Tip when holding "F" to pick something the middle mouse zooms in useful when things are close together
Very informative vid have subbed and pressed the bell hello from Scotland
ohhh man ... i love how you're moving up into star citizen
Great stuff man, been playing for a few weeks but all I've been doing is flying, dyjng and exploring, haven't even managed to equip a gun in the outside world yet, despite having one, although that could have been due to a bug which caused the inventory screen to have...well....no inventory, just me, standing there like the proverbial lemon
Sorry, I'm late to the party but wow, this is a very comprehensive guide. Excellent work!
When I bought star citizen I used level cap’s referral code, really does help you start out especially now that you loose your kit when you die!
Great Video! Thank you!
Took me a good 20 hours to figure out all this on my own lol.... I almost rage quite several times, wish I would have came across this video weeks ago. I did learn that holding down H does multiplies so that's cool. I didn't know scrolling the wheel effected walking speed either, good stuff.
Press shift to turn on afterburners (or boosters, I don't really know what they're called) to accelerate / turn / break much faster, also it might be useful when dodging objects while using a bigger ship, as it reacts faster to your controls.
Just got the game today and I’m excited to try it out
hope you had fun
How can you have fun with a scam 😒
@@unknownpresidentnot really a scam, it’s a pretty fun game
@Big Man Beans if a scam is pretty it's not a scam ........ lol
I'm jealous
Great video! I wish it was out when I started! One correction, you don't lose mission reputation with a character reset. You do get access to the certification mission again but you don't have to do it to get access to the missions.
thanks for the correction, I was told that you lose all your rep so I stopped doing resets.
@@LevelCapGaming I've done 2 resets and didn't lose my mission rep either time. I'm level 5 in bunkers so I would be awful sad if I had to start over. Just did my 2nd reset yesterday
When resetting, all you loose is your certifications, not the reputation. All you have to do after a reset is to re-do the certification missions
@@caanon565 If you eat and drink "properly" you can get your Food and Water levels over 100% even if the UI doesn't show it. The Med bed only goes to 99%, so it will start to drop "faster"
R is also keybinded to systems On, this works on ground vehicles as well.
Alt + X is a good way to check whether you have a helmet on without opening (and closing) your inventory
Although the Mustang doesn't have an inventory as such, it still has a small cargo hold on the back. The way to open it and close it has a sign "pull to release". And yes, the mustang is still a little decent if you are more into the ship combat anyways, I just prefer using my drop down cargo hold for delivery missions
The map and route system has helped me TREMENDOUSLY! It helps me focus on a jump point, only showing the jump that i want to go and not the point behind/next to it. I’m not sure why players have difficulty using that.
can you elaborate more, have that same issue now.. thanks
I would also in addition to erkul suggest the Universal Item Finder site over at Cornerstone for finding anything, including non-ship parts. Erkul is still best for knowinf what fits on your ship and where to obtain it, of course.
Very good beginner video. I am playing on/off since 2013 and i didnt know you can hold the counter measure button to use multiple ;D. I think it has many of those advanced controls if i would go thru them in the menü.
I haven't played nor even downloaded the game and I can already tell this video is priceless.
The learning curve on this is huge, it took me a week just to figure out how to open a door
LOL
Just started yesterday and I feel like my heads about to explode with how complicated this game is.
How are you doing on the game 3 months later ?
@@jayfreeman2813 sadly I had to stop playing. It’s a bit too much for my gaming laptop to run without overheating. I will return once I get a desktop, but that won’t be for a while.
- You don’t need to double press the ATC button. You only have to press it once.
- the marker can also turn red if you lack the fuel to reach it.
- you can turn the velocity indicator (the marker that tells you where you are going) on permanently (ie doesnt fade in the center) it’s the Pilot - Velocity Indicator in the game settings.
- A reset doesn’t reset your reputation, just the certifications.
- Outposts don’t care about your crime stat (because they don’t have turrets) they also will repair and refuel you.
- you can take off your helmet in bunkers and inside buildings to eat (DONT PASS THROUGH AN AIRLOCK WITH NO HELMET)
having over 7k hours and this is good info for new players in the game. Spend lots o time answering questions from new players which they could have just known if they watched this video. Even though i don't agree with some of the quantum drives you said because all of them have benefits / disadvantages. Faster quantum drive means faster jump but more fuel consumption. Slower quantum drive is slower jump but more range
may i have youre discord? i need alot of help as im just starting, dont even know wtf i should do...
I have also noticed some space stations will set the space station you are in in your quantum jumps. You have to clear it and fly out of the space station area to be able to set it which is insanely dangerous
woa. I was just about to get the necessary PC upgrades to play this game, great timing!
I just had to add that you stated "once the universe opens up..." :) Please let any new player know that if they have a ship (and fuel) they can go everywhere :) And box missions are a really great way to see all kinds of aspects of the 'verse.
keep up the hard work buddy 🔥
Mustang Alpha has storage now, container for delivery boxes under the ship and "chest" type storage if you hold "F" and look at pilot entry
