I was thinking about getting a pc to play this game.. is there a good amount of ppl online playing? And can I just explore planets? Or be a space pirate lol
@@marcusburrell8023 atm there is a 50 player per server cap which will increase when they finish upgrading their server tech. You can explore planets, run cargo, basic bounty hunting, a new gamemode called theatres of war is coming soon (fps gameplay).... Theres alot of basic gameloops but atm id suggest you join an Org if you want to play with other people. As for hardware id suggest trying Shadowtech if you didnt want to build or buy a rig for $15 per month
In my opinion SC is worth a $45 basic pledge to try, im about $300 in and if the game stopped tommorow id still feel satisfied with the time i have already had from the game and my Org, but thats subjective of course. If you like sci fi, eve online, elite dangerous..... You will like star citizen. If you want to watch some fun gameplay id suggest watching some Rexzilla videos. If you just like the idea of spacsships chevk out some Morphologist ship reviews
Honestly, props to anyone who’s actually able to accumulate anything in this game, I’ve played for 15 hours and have died ~30 times to bugs/glitches and subsequently losing most to all of my progress…
Package delivery is pretty chill. I like doing it when I feel like playing but I don't feel like fighting. It's a nice way to wind down the play session. Great video, thanks for creating it!
I finally retried the game again a few days ago and for the first time the optimization has made it work on my rig. It's been over a year since I first invested. This video is right on time.
Ahh, a familiar face. I really need this tutorial. After backing for 8 years I have only just this weekend flown a ship in the PU for the first time. Back in 2017 the interface for selecting ships didn't even work for me. Right now in 3.10.1, I'm only getting server crashes about once every five hours, very nice.
player bounties are also fun, theyre always being tracked so its good to know what ship they have and figure out how you wanna take them out. i followed a guy without knowing , almost looking like a npc and snuck on his ship, taking him out when he left the planet.
@@youtubedrifter5594 and I took his ship but he was cool with it and what I did after was getting a crew of 2 random people and we went to go take back a 890jump that a pirate player stole and was holding it for ransom, but when we got there, there was another guy who was gonna join up with us but he saw that the ship we were in was hostile and opened fire on us, causing us to do an emergency landing, I told my crew to abandon ship but we were in a hammer head (first time for all of us) and we couldn't find a way out and blew up. Since then the game got updated so there's more cool moments like that if you get lucky Edit: I know I posted that a year ago but that will always be one of my top moments in that game
Hey ive always said this, people (myself included) really enjoy Euro Truck Simulator 2 and Flight SImulator X, where literally 100% of the game is just cargo / passenger hauling, nothing more. For hundreds of hours, just that alone. So no wonder people can enjoy the same thing in Star Citizen. It is what you want. If you want Euro Truck Sim in space, so be it!
I'd like it better if you had to manually load/unload cargo onto your ship instead of having it magically appear in your ship's bay. Would be more time consuming, but also interesting. Better than simply flying from A to B.
@@dtm4trix I reckon it would make me more invested in my cargo if I took the time to put it in there. Also, if they made it more lucrative it could balance out extra time needed to complete cargo runs.
0:04 "So you've have Star Citizen for 2 years and have been blindly and probably inefficiently been doing the odd mission here and there and have about 20k by the end of the quarter" :D
Thanks for explaining that hidden stat, I've heard there's a bunch of hidden mechanics and stuff either planned or already implemented and would love to hear more about this kind of stuff in your future videos.
So I wanted to add a few things that helped me as a new player who just recently joined the verse. I did focus on fps combat, which is currently pretty easy, even for brand new players without a lot of resources. There will def be some crossover with the vid, but I also have a lot to add that could be helpful: The first thing I did as a new player was the security contractor missions. These award 15k, plus bonuses with a call to arms, and they are a pretty good resource to stock up on weapons and armor. Just watch out for friendly fire as there will be planet security there helping you. These missions can also be a bit finicky, doing a couple of them first with the intention of figuring out the nuances will be helpful. Of course these are combat missions; buy your weapons at lagrangian rest stops. You only need to be semi-competent at fps combat, tbh these missions were immediately easy as soon as I entered the verse. Next are bounty hunter missions, Morph covered this really well, but there is a bit more I want to add. Obviously you’ll start with very low targets, I only had to do one of these to start seeing the missions I’m about to talk about. You’ll start to see a bounty hunter mission for 25k and in the description it’ll mention a cave system. These missions have pretty decent payout, and you basically just fight through a dope ass cave. These are some of my favorite missions cause the cave setting is really cool. You’ll also find ore in these caves just like the missing persons cave missions. Most people will mine Aphorite and Hadanite, but personally I solely go for Hadanite. This final method was the most profitable for me. It does have a startup cost, albeit a very low one. You’ll want to rent a Cutlass Black and ROC miner at a refinery. This only costs around 40k and is the only startup cost (use previous methods to get this). With these tools you can mine various ores, but you are gonna target Hadanite (and aphorite if you so choose). I personally like to mine on Daymar, but there may be better locations for this. Once you get ROC mining down, you’ll make minimum 100k per hour. Finally, I’ve found that I have gravitated toward Crusader for all my exploits in the verse. Here, you can find everything I’ve mentioned above. The only downside is the atmosphere of Crusader can be tough on new players and starter ships. I wouldn’t say this adds a lot of difficulty, and it’s really not as hard as everyone makes it out to be. You’ll prob be fine, even in a starter ship. If you choose Crusader, set your spawn in a Cru station or Grim Hex, this is your new home! Choosing Crusader is just a suggestion, but remember wherever you start doing missions, you should commit to staying there to build up your status with that planet’s organizations!!
Haven't played in a while, been trying to get back into this game (never ending alpha). No one has made a video as concise and to the point as this one bro, thank you.
Thanks for a great informative, straight forward introduction for those of us yet to enter the verse...even though I grabbed the starter before launch. Slack I know
If I remember correct, my Avenger Titan has 8 cargo capacity. When aUEC was a thing I earned only a few per run and if one needs to buy fuel, ammo, insurance...
Trading alone isn't worth the time with any ship smaller than a freelancer. Smaller ships with cargo the SCU is only really useful for making a bit extra while doing delivery missions, eventually it'll be useful for transporting stuff like loot from your victims or for potential future utility like carrying extra ammo, fuel, supplies to restock your base once base building is in etc
aUEC is still a thing; it's the currency we use during alpha (hence the name, alpha United Earth Credits). It will be removed and replaced with actual UEC when the game comes out.
Apparently with mining, you aim the laser at the rock and keep the bar above white, in the green but below red or it will explode, then I believe whatever pieces are purple you can pick up.
@@kirklazarus1132 I know how to do the basics but more information on how to find the good rocks and how to manage your SCU space would be awesome :D| Just in general how to make money mining.
@@Ashrider Look for the "Ultimate Mining Guide" on space4games.com. Has all the info: What the mining heads do well and what their drawbacks are, where to find which minerals and how much they're worth, where to sell said minerals, etc. It's up to date and helped me immensely. Good luck!
Once you do all 3 bounty assessment missions, easiest way to tell where the bounty will be is reading who the contractor is. HD will only give you Hurston sector, Crusader will give you Crusader and Northrock is for Delamar. ProTem is initiation for PvP bounties.
How to make money? Step one: Don’t crash. Every once in awhile I can get a few hours in without problems, then it’s crash city. Love the game though, will be a force to be reckoned with once its stable.
This is my all time favourite genre of game. I’ve only got back into gaming a few months ago with lockdown and I only get time on weekends to play. I’ve found elite dangerous really fits that style of playing and I don’t need to invest tons of time in game to make significant progress. I’ve always been curious about star citizen though and it was actually my first choice. I was big on freelancer and starlancer back in the day. But I feel like I won’t be able to do much with the game with the limited amount of time I have to play it. I was wondering if anyone had similar issues but managed to really dive into it regardless.
here is an idea for FPS mining.... at the beginning of all caves it starts with a narrow hallway. this is a great place to find half a dozen rocks to mine just right there in plain sight. when the cave enters into the first large room or when you start to take forks then it get harder to navigate so i don't bother continuing. there are more rocks to mine if you keep going but they are more spread out and harder to find. just take the easy, obvious rocks and move on. if you couple this with a prospector it works great. get low, mine rocks on the approach to the cave. if a 30k takes out your ship cargo you usually keep personal inventory, which is a nice consolidation prize.
Good video, but if the second time I enter PU I lose ALL my aUEC? Even in 3.9.1! I'm a bit disappointed. I also reported the issue in the Issue Council.
Reset your account, it doesn't actually delete your earnings. It just resets to the last known state, and resets all your ships to default. I just did it and I got all my money back as I had before 3.9.1, including all my modules, weapons, and armor. Pinned this comment just in case others have this issue.
love to make money, but, this morning (23rd) cant get passed character creation screen, just locks up, tried lots of work arounds, no luck. Got on finally last night and play no problem. Had all my equipment and aUEC, no issues once they got the servers cleared up. Lots of people reporting same thing this morning. Hopefully they will fix this soon. Long weekend was looking forward to play quite a bit.
Money making is needed IRL for this game. It's such resource-buster... I've tried it over the free week but... devs clearly don't understand the word "optimization". Ad my PC is really not the "basic" one. I'd really like to use your tips but... will pass this title at this development stage.
Morph, in regards to the mobiglass around the 4:35 mark. If you double right click it automatically zooms all the way out. (EDIT: Didnt see Scapes comment. whoops)
UPDATE: I'm glad you remade this starter guide since there have been some significant changes that impact how cave missions work, namely environmental effects. When I first started playing Star Citizen, I followed your previous guide. But after the changes to exposed temperatures went live I died in a cave investigation because of extreme heat and dehydration. I used to do cave missions a lot for starter cash because of your previous video, but now I avoid them because of the new game mechanics. In the past you had time to get lost and find your way out and weren't endangered by extreme temperatures and dehydration. Which made those missions relatively fun, even if a little frustrating at times. Not any more. Now I would not recommend any cave investigations without the 15,000 UEC suit and helmet which means most players can't do those missions if starting with only 10,000 UEC. Instead, box delivery missions are the most gentle way to learn how the various game mechanics work while exploring the Verse.
Followed video to a T.. Kitted myself up, spent a good bit of my starting money and made it to the cave. Mined until my back pack was full, found the body then was unable to mantle/climb out of one of the lower parts of the cave due to a bug. While down there my inventory bugged out and was unable to take my helmet off or access the food\water in my inventory so I starved to death ruining my first 2 days of playing this game and my first mission ending in a complete failure. Now I’m dead broke with nothing because of 2 bugs on my first ever mission.. that being said, if this game was playable and not a buggy mess I would have made a lot of money and had a great experience following this guide. Be warned guys, there’s a huge chance you spend hours and hours kitting up your character and spending lots of in game money just to die and lose everything in this game due to a bug or glitch.. amazing game but just be warned.
I've been delivering those weed packages to Tressler, but everytime I come for a landing there I get screened lol. Luckily I never had any contraband on me when those scans happened!
I've definitely made money off the Call to arms mission while doing claim jumpers before killing the turrets but sometimes the CTA mission never works at all.
Check your ship inventory, CIG has issued everyone a free loaner Freelancer. I do not know how long it will be like this but I suggest you all get a lot of use out of it as much as possible. The Freelancer makes short work of claim jumper missions and delivery missions just buy it's design and gun loadout.
Woops, I totally did those 15+k box missions as they paid a lot and tbh the descriptions didn't seem that bad, like take some food to this outpost. I'm a bit hesitant about doing much fighting atm as my fps is so low, and I don't know much about ship customisation, like even if your ship gets destroyed do those customisations get carried over to when you claim it (say QT teleports you inside a planet, as happened to me yesterday, it would put me off customising anything knowing a little bug, let alone actually getting killed by pirates would reset everything).
Btw, virtue/reputation is bugged currently. For example, if you do too many Bounty Hunter (CS1-5) missions, the lucrative 15k personal box delivery missions from Grim Hex and Levski will disappear. Currently there is no way to reverse it/get it back (e.g. NPC missions from those locations). Even character reset won't fix it.
Any chance you could make a guide on places where you can buy lots of materials and then taking them to other locations and selling them for profit specifically non quest related
I have my doubts about shipping in the log run. When the large ships come online it is going to drop the prices to the point where those with small to medium ships arent going to make much. I tend to think lone bounty hunting won't be very profitable either better to form up with others and for militias work with mining or shiping guilds as protection. Hunt down members of pirate guilds.
My best way to earn money? Go to Hurston, do the necessary test bounty missions. Set Everus Harbor as your base. The bounties are too low money what you want are the occasional 10k ECN alerts and that it from the general tab. On the personal tab, you'll want to use the mercenary tab and do Authorized Execution Warrants and anything from "Future Ghost" These will range from 9k up to 20k per mission and only require killing 1-3 targets. with current ship AI it's a breeze I made 400k in a liitle over an hour. 300-400kish EDIT: also future ghost does not give you crimestat. perfectly leg-uell
I started with a Mustang Alpha, and I do not have any loaner ships on my vehicle list in any Star Ports. I used to. Back around Thanksgiving time I actually had like 4 or 5 ships on my list. Now I only have the one. This has effectively locked me out of doing box missions, since my Alpha can't hold boxes.
I think a good opportunity would be to explain the basics of bounty hunting as well as more detail about the gray and black missions that cause you to get a bounty. You would be fueling both sides of that war. I like bounty hunting but its usually a boring job. Ever since going to Prison became on option bounties have been less frequent (except for right after Prison was first release)(for me anyway). I would be interested in finding out exactly how profitable those missions could be.. but I guess that I might have to find a different youtuber for that kind of content. I know bringing your account back into good standing would be difficult... unless you can colab with someone else maybe? Just a thought.
Hey Morph big fan. I have a suggestion I don’t know if you already have but what if you made a video about how to customise starter ships mustang titan aurora cutlass something among those lines.
in 3.9 I lost all my gear but kept my money, in 3.9.1 I got all my gear back but my bank account got drained to a cool 94 aUEC, I couldn't stop laughing. Oh Star Citizen, your mysteries are as vast and endless as the universe.
If you watch closely on the first shot, you can see dust fly up from an engine. So my guess is that he uses ships for a lot of the shots. If you fly in decoupled mode, you will have very fluid movement.
He is using the advanced camera controls. They work in 3rd person by holding f4. You can check out the bindings in options > key bindings > advanced controls customisation > camera - advanced camera cobtrols At least for fpv he also uses some kind of headtracking or at least an extra stick on a hotas maybe
@@SimpleBeings No problem! And what the others are saying is true as well. The 3rd person camera offers a lot of options like Depth of Field and you can move it around quite far from your character for instance. It takes some practice as well.
Star Citizen youtubers nowadays be like _"Mweheh-eee!"_ **rubs hands gleefully together with sinister smile** _"Come, my new viewers, come.. Have a seat.."_ **cigar in mouth** And by god you deserve it.
So I am new to Star citizen and I want to get your opinion on the people who claim that star citizen is a scam. It seems to be a pretty cool game from what I can tell
haha, yeah you can make alot of money in caves if your char doesn't bug out and half of your features don't work anymore like picking up shards or opening the mobi glass. It's one of the coolest things to do in this game , if only these bugs would go away :)
get multiple deliveries then game crashes or you stop at station to pick next one up and your ship gets stored in less than 4 minutes on station, deliveries lost, then there is the spool for jump, next thing your floating in space. im new, spent 8 hours while in lockdown on this game and literally ended up with 10k due to bugs
a QUESTION please as the game is still in alpha do we keep the money we make or do we lose it all in future resets etc? likewise if we buy ships or weapons armor do they persist or do we lose everything?

at the beginning of all caves it starts with a narrow hallway. this is a great place to find half a dozen rocks to mine just right there in plain sight. when the cave enters into the first large room or when you start to take forks then it get harder to navigate so i don't bother continuing. there are more rocks to mine if you keep going but they are more spread out and harder to find. just take the easy, obvious rocks and move on.
if you couple this with a prospector it works great. get low, mine rocks on the approach to the cave. if a 30k takes out your ship cargo you usually keep personal inventory, which is a nice consolidation prize.
your Videos are getting better and better! Keep it up I love your content.
Just a tip for the claimjumper missions, the loaner Freelancer can take out the sentries in just a few shots.
Hype for that bounty hunting video!
Good video, but if the second time I enter PU I lose ALL my aUEC? Even in 3.9.1! I'm a bit disappointed. I also reported the issue in the Issue Council.
Reset your account, it doesn't actually delete your earnings. It just resets to the last known state, and resets all your ships to default. I just did it and I got all my money back as I had before 3.9.1, including all my modules, weapons, and armor. Pinned this comment just in case others have this issue.
@@Morphologis thanks a lot Morphologis! o7
@@Morphologis how & where do i do that?
@@Gl0ckb1te on your profile, just search it up, not hard to find
@@Morphologis No you didnt pinn it...
This video made me purchase star citizen, it looks pretty great even in its alpha state.
mate the fact that ur video is a wide boi is sooo nice
Thank you for this video. It's a great list of pointers for newbs like me. +1
Would you concider uploading your video on LBRY as well? Awesome quality video, keep up the good work.
Top notch B-Roll, as always.
My favorite way of making money has to be ROC mining. It is so relaxing and fun imo.
love to make money, but, this morning (23rd) cant get passed character creation screen, just locks up, tried lots of work arounds, no luck. Got on finally last night and play no problem. Had all my equipment and aUEC, no issues once they got the servers cleared up. Lots of people reporting same thing this morning. Hopefully they will fix this soon. Long weekend was looking forward to play quite a bit.
this is an amazing game , i just start playing it yesterday
New to the game and watching vids to catch up. I did not realize you could literally be a space garbage man. So kewl.
Great stuff as usual, no surprise =)
Really helpful and good, entertaining video. Thank you for making it!
Money making is needed IRL for this game. It's such resource-buster... I've tried it over the free week but... devs clearly don't understand the word "optimization". Ad my PC is really not the "basic" one. I'd really like to use your tips but... will pass this title at this development stage.
Morph, in regards to the mobiglass around the 4:35 mark. If you double right click it automatically zooms all the way out. (EDIT: Didnt see Scapes comment. whoops)
just a heads up if you double click right on the mouse it auto centers the whole map and zooms out
I never thought about stacking delivery missions.
Hey i played and loved Death stranding so i think the box missions will be perfect for me
UPDATE: I'm glad you remade this starter guide since there have been some significant changes that impact how cave missions work, namely environmental effects.
When I first started playing Star Citizen, I followed your previous guide. But after the changes to exposed temperatures went live I died in a cave investigation because of extreme heat and dehydration.
I used to do cave missions a lot for starter cash because of your previous video, but now I avoid them because of the new game mechanics. In the past you had time to get lost and find your way out and weren't endangered by extreme temperatures and dehydration. Which made those missions relatively fun, even if a little frustrating at times. Not any more.
Now I would not recommend any cave investigations without the 15,000 UEC suit and helmet which means most players can't do those missions if starting with only 10,000 UEC.
Instead, box delivery missions are the most gentle way to learn how the various game mechanics work while exploring the Verse.
Followed video to a T.. Kitted myself up, spent a good bit of my starting money and made it to the cave. Mined until my back pack was full, found the body then was unable to mantle/climb out of one of the lower parts of the cave due to a bug. While down there my inventory bugged out and was unable to take my helmet off or access the food\water in my inventory so I starved to death ruining my first 2 days of playing this game and my first mission ending in a complete failure. Now I’m dead broke with nothing because of 2 bugs on my first ever mission.. that being said, if this game was playable and not a buggy mess I would have made a lot of money and had a great experience following this guide. Be warned guys, there’s a huge chance you spend hours and hours kitting up your character and spending lots of in game money just to die and lose everything in this game due to a bug or glitch.. amazing game but just be warned.
I don’t mind delivering boxes every now and then. Easy money but time consuming depending on the distance. About to try my hand in mining.
What kind of super computer are you playing this on. Its so smooth lol
become youtube gamer... get everything for free ... ez pz
@@4nd2 I know this is 4 months ago but I (not lying or exaggerating) get 60 fps 130 hz on my laptop. A 840 dollar laptop 😐
Just good GPU and RAM bro
I've been delivering those weed packages to Tressler, but everytime I come for a landing there I get screened lol.
Luckily I never had any contraband on me when those scans happened!
sweet, did the exploration mission and got lost in the cave for 10 miniutes :) but was fun i do have the black drake
I've definitely made money off the Call to arms mission while doing claim jumpers before killing the turrets but sometimes the CTA mission never works at all.
🕵
lol wut?
I didn't expect to see you here Anton! Petition to get Anton and Morphologis to do a Tarkov or Star Citizen stream together anyone?
Only annoying thing about packages if landing at night.
It's true that some people don't like delivering packages. But seeing as to how I finished Death Stranding, I think I'll be fine.
Check your ship inventory, CIG has issued everyone a free loaner Freelancer. I do not know how long it will be like this but I suggest you all get a lot of use out of it as much as possible. The Freelancer makes short work of claim jumper missions and delivery missions just buy it's design and gun loadout.
Who else here for the b roll? Love your stuff man
Woops, I totally did those 15+k box missions as they paid a lot and tbh the descriptions didn't seem that bad, like take some food to this outpost.
I'm a bit hesitant about doing much fighting atm as my fps is so low, and I don't know much about ship customisation, like even if your ship gets destroyed do those customisations get carried over to when you claim it (say QT teleports you inside a planet, as happened to me yesterday, it would put me off customising anything knowing a little bug, let alone actually getting killed by pirates would reset everything).
the beat that starts it and Morph's voice that he does lmaoooo too much
Awesome guide, I will send players I guide to this.
Btw, virtue/reputation is bugged currently. For example, if you do too many Bounty Hunter (CS1-5) missions, the lucrative 15k personal box delivery missions from Grim Hex and Levski will disappear. Currently there is no way to reverse it/get it back (e.g. NPC missions from those locations). Even character reset won't fix it.
Any chance you could make a guide on places where you can buy lots of materials and then taking them to other locations and selling them for profit specifically non quest related
I have my doubts about shipping in the log run. When the large ships come online it is going to drop the prices to the point where those with small to medium ships arent going to make much. I tend to think lone bounty hunting won't be very profitable either better to form up with others and for militias work with mining or shiping guilds as protection. Hunt down members of pirate guilds.
Dude, I love this video, thank you!
My best way to earn money?
Go to Hurston, do the necessary test bounty missions. Set Everus Harbor as your base.
The bounties are too low money what you want are the occasional 10k ECN alerts and that it from the general tab.
On the personal tab, you'll want to use the mercenary tab and do Authorized Execution Warrants and anything from "Future Ghost"
These will range from 9k up to 20k per mission and only require killing 1-3 targets. with current ship AI it's a breeze
I made 400k in a liitle over an hour. 300-400kish
EDIT: also future ghost does not give you crimestat. perfectly leg-uell
RE20 mic? You got that radio voice vibe going. If not you should do radio. Thanks for the info.
I really wish I had known about that call to arms thing.
"All three major landing zones"
*Sad Levski noises*
So when I deliver boxes, it often kills me randomly when I drop it off, is there anyway to stop this?
I needed this all I've done is bounties lately
I started with a Mustang Alpha, and I do not have any loaner ships on my vehicle list in any Star Ports. I used to. Back around Thanksgiving time I actually had like 4 or 5 ships on my list. Now I only have the one. This has effectively locked me out of doing box missions, since my Alpha can't hold boxes.
greycat ROC: "ima ruin this whole mans career"
Very Useful, Thanks! :D
I think a good opportunity would be to explain the basics of bounty hunting as well as more detail about the gray and black missions that cause you to get a bounty. You would be fueling both sides of that war. I like bounty hunting but its usually a boring job. Ever since going to Prison became on option bounties have been less frequent (except for right after Prison was first release)(for me anyway).
I would be interested in finding out exactly how profitable those missions could be.. but I guess that I might have to find a different youtuber for that kind of content. I know bringing your account back into good standing would be difficult... unless you can colab with someone else maybe?
Just a thought.
Hey Morph big fan. I have a suggestion I don’t know if you already have but what if you made a video about how to customise starter ships mustang titan aurora cutlass something among those lines.
I just want to do pve in space but contracts kinda never specify if it is that.
in 3.9 I lost all my gear but kept my money, in 3.9.1 I got all my gear back but my bank account got drained to a cool 94 aUEC, I couldn't stop laughing. Oh Star Citizen, your mysteries are as vast and endless as the universe.
HA RIGHT?!
Do you have a guide on how to make the game work?
Thanks for this Morph
How do you record those beautiful cinematic shots, some look way to smooth for the basic f4 view
If you watch closely on the first shot, you can see dust fly up from an engine. So my guess is that he uses ships for a lot of the shots. If you fly in decoupled mode, you will have very fluid movement.
He is using the advanced camera controls.
They work in 3rd person by holding f4.
You can check out the bindings in options > key bindings > advanced controls customisation > camera - advanced camera cobtrols
At least for fpv he also uses some kind of headtracking or at least an extra stick on a hotas maybe
the f4 view is so much more in depth than you might first think, you can get cinematic shots like this with competent hands on just mouse and keyboard
@@Dj3ndo This makes the most sense cheers
@@SimpleBeings No problem! And what the others are saying is true as well. The 3rd person camera offers a lot of options like Depth of Field and you can move it around quite far from your character for instance. It takes some practice as well.
Star Citizen youtubers nowadays be like
_"Mweheh-eee!"_ **rubs hands gleefully together with sinister smile**
_"Come, my new viewers, come.. Have a seat.."_ **cigar in mouth**
And by god you deserve it.
So I am new to Star citizen and I want to get your opinion on the people who claim that star citizen is a scam. It seems to be a pretty cool game from what I can tell
11:01 whats this setup for the Mustang Alpha??
haha, yeah you can make alot of money in caves if your char doesn't bug out and half of your features don't work anymore like picking up shards or opening the mobi glass. It's one of the coolest things to do in this game , if only these bugs would go away :)
What the video you did for Trading I'd love to see it. Nice work btw good vid here!
get multiple deliveries then game crashes or you stop at station to pick next one up and your ship gets stored in less than 4 minutes on station, deliveries lost, then there is the spool for jump, next thing your floating in space. im new, spent 8 hours while in lockdown on this game and literally ended up with 10k due to bugs
a QUESTION please as the game is still in alpha do we keep the money we make or do we lose it all in future resets etc? likewise if we buy ships or weapons armor do they persist or do we lose everything?
