Clarification: Real money urchased ships are NEVER reset, only ships purchased in-game during the alpha. The messaging may have been confusing in the video. Sorry!
Hey am I the only one having this issue where when I put on the helmet my HUD icons are not properly within frame? For example about half of the tutorial stuff to the right corner is off screen, I tried adjust field of view but no luck
Small correction. When you talk about buying ships with real money, you then immediately talk about wipes resetting things and the player needing to rebuy ships. It's very important that new players know that ships bought with real money are NEVER wiped. It's only ships bought with in game currency that are wiped.
Does your currency get wiped or can I just repurchase the ships. I've just started my first day today and enjoying my time. I could see myself buying ships in future but will be using ingame currency until I am fully committed to the game.
Great to get a new updated beginner's guide. One correction- the radial menu (PIT) now requires f+left&right mouse buttons by default, not just f+right mouse like in the past.
@@dallasscandling6329 what? That’s you assuming everyone plays when you play. I work afternoon shifts so I tend to play at 2 am and I can assure you the servers weren’t full to the brim every time. Sometimes it was like 40 - 50 at most. Now it’s full 100 percent of the time. People consistently leaving water bottles and crap laying around. Think about what that does to a server?
This is a fantastic compilation from so many aspects of the game! That was a lot of ground to cover and I think you did a wonderful job, that looked like a ton of work!
Great video, I recommend people rebind the interaction mode (default F) to one of the thumb buttons if your mouse has it, it’s a lot more efficient imo
Good idea, I’ll do that tonight. Btw is it normal for the game to freeze allot in your first 10 minutes? It smooths out but every new launch is a lag fest
Don't worry about talking yourself into it! It's still plenty difficult to play, it needs more polished systems, it's certainly worth following right now, though!
Hope this video pops up for all the new Citizens in the verse whether you saw the convention or asmond golds reaction video. The verse welcomes you all to the first and only true next gen experience
Thank you for this video! I started to get into star citizen back in the summer and only played a few days here and there. I going to get back into it soon but forgot so much stuff about the game. This is perfect! Love watching the pods on Space Tomato 2!
As a new player, the thing I noticed about star citizen is that the community is pretty awesome. There’s not much toxic arguments online as far as I know, and I got stranded on a planet earlier today and needed someone to help me bring my stuff home. Multiple people offered and the person that helped me didn’t ask for payment or anything like that.
I’m just starting to get into this game. Been really enjoying my time so far. May stop by to look around the org. Thank you for this video, it really helped.
I just brought some friends to the game and this video helps me a lot to remind me the basics to tell them the most important things to practice and learn.
Great Video Tomato, good info for new players. Star Cititzen has also one the most help full community. So dont be afraid to say you are new to the game, people will help you and show you around.
@@robertwells3797technically he said “I’d do some looking around”. The guide is pretty complete in terms of telling you what to do. The only thing it doesn’t get into is the premise and the general aim of the game so maybe that’s what he means by “a basic understanding”
Well done for a modern guide of how to get into the Alpha game which is in development ongoing. I’m an original founder of the game since 2011. But I don’t keep up with development nor actually playing the Alpha. I station messed around a few years ago, but I’ve forgotten all that. So even I need a guide to know what the Key binds are and all that.
Hey @SpaceTomato, I manage an Eve streamer/DJ who is dipping his toes into SC. We're all in Karmafleet in Eve (yes goons) and your video is fantastic. I wanted to get your permission to watch this video on stream. Moving forward, I'll be linking this to all of our community members and all the new pilots from our small alliance.

RIP Kouchkiller. He was a popular Eve DJ, my wife's 1st cousin and my best friend. Your post here reminded me of him and how much we miss him. He was truly a great guy.
Just got a pc after a 7 year long gap where I had to use Xbox. So excited to finally try this game I’ve been waiting 7 YEARS. I never got the CJ Ande on my old pc
I call it "A/STC" (Air/Space Traffic Control), for accuracy. ;-) A "Spacer" expression; "Aim for the stars, for safeties sake". this is best remembered, when approaching a space station or another ship. ;-) I've found and accidently bought items, but have been unable to sell them (maybe GrimHex?). ;-D
Been gone for a year it's nice to hop back in with all the new updates and pyro around the corner soo stoked! these videos help me get a feel for everything again!
Just be mindful that there is a really annoying bug in lorville where your character will walk slowly as if they are encountering strong wind, making walking around obnoxious, which can be frustrating since you will die a lot at the start and be respawning back at Lorville.
After all these years, i am amazed at how far Star Citizen has come. this is beginning to feel like a dream come true...but i think it already is for some. Sign me up. i am about to become the next Star Citizen. oh and 20:48 is basically my expression after watching this video.
17:37 you bring a box with your tractor beam and loot stuff inside the box. Where is this box coming from? Like a external inventory box? That's nice I need this!
Have my first gaming pc being build right now, should be good to go in a week or so. Been wanting to play this game for years now, happy to be able to now. Good video!
Nice introduction video. Man I am seriously amped to see what the next 12 months bring after watching all the CitCon, even if they only get 50% of what they showed at CitCon i will be over the moon. The only issue is as much as I love SC myself (been playing since 2014) Its hard to recommend the game in its current state with the amount of game breaking bugs and 30Ks, we need those updates man and sooner rather than later (I know its "Alpha" but still....they really need to treat it like a live game for the PU). Especially more so to keep new players. I am still seeing new players in the ingame chat getting very frustrated with SC in its current state and its breaking issues, which makes me sad as I want new players to play and have a good time. After watching the CitCon I am finding hard to play it myself in its curreent state now, knowing the updates that are coming.
@@MyAmazingUsername unless you are willing to put up with the issues, testing, feedback etc I would probably wait another 6-12 months. Although as of typing the game is actually running better lately, there is still a plethora of bugs and issues that can be off putting to new players
@@Spidder81 Yeah I actually ran the game for 2 hours today. The immersion was mindblowing. Traveling from my apartment to the spaceport via train, stopping at a shop to get cookies and water, going to the hangar my ship was at, learning about warp drive and flight. Experiencing the (pretty great) flight controls. Then crashing into the space station and having to redo the tutorial. Ugh. Then I walked on top of a tomato bottle someone had dropped on the floor of the train and it made me glitch and spin around. I tried to pick it up and struggled with the inventory system and the tedious way of picking up items with the non-responsive GUI (F and then hover over pick up, which doesn't always activate). I then took a mercenary mission and flew to a planet and promptly got blown up by the air defense. Meanwhile, someone wrote in chat that their 1.7 million cargo exploded due to a glitch in hangar. In conclusion, the game is janky and glitchy but somewhat playable. The vision is grand. I look forward to seeing it when it's more complete.
I watched your videos in the past when I was playing Star Citizen and enjoyed them then as well. I am just coming back after a couple years and was trying the tutorial, but could not figure out how to leave the starting station in the tutorial. I saw no opening and it does not tell you to contact departure like I remember from the game before. I will try your beginners guide here to see if that will help. Thank you for your content.
Nice tutorial here! I wish we had something like this years and years ago. I didn't realize you get a Pisces by doing the in game tutorial though. That's a really nice add they did.
Sadly you dont own the pisces, just get to fly it to beljini. Wouldve been good to have the pisces for the box delivery missions, aurora and delivery missions are a PAIN
Step 1. Run around for 6 hours gearing up Step 2. Spend 30 min getting your ship and getting to your destination Step 3. Die due to a random bug Step 4. Repeat
After a wipe (regain aUEC), I go around and buy clothing and gear, then leave them at the varies cities and stations, but lately I've discovered that Items I've left at Area 18 have disappeared after an update without being reimbursed. After completing some P&D jobs and picked up the missing item, I discovered my diminished funds (
Its great and even if some people think its bad to lose the ships that you buy in game after the alfa but i think it makes the game a lil harder and it will still be fun I just wish that in the future that they add the abillity to be a mechanic i know its sounds weird but i would enjoy it
Absoutely! Like I said, there are occsional resets, so if it's been a few years you'll have a clean slate. You can also reset your character on the website whenever.
So helpful! Thanks for this. So I claim I heard you say the "N key" auto lands your ship? I Love my Syulen, but man a bit of a curve to learn to land it.
Thanks for the guide. I loaded the game up for the first time in 9 years after seeing this guide. I made it my personal mission to fly into space. During the tutorial and I had to go to a shop. I was walking through town, suddenly began gasping, BPM was touching 200, a fire icon appeared, counted down to 0 and I died. Respawned in my room, continued to die and I died in my bed. Is this a normal day in SC?
One of the most up-to-date professionally made first time player guides I seen in a while I definitely will be recommending friends this video to watch when they want to play for the first time keep up the good work thanks for your dedication
I thought it was weird to call leaving your landing gear down 'derp', given that when flying in atmosphere keeping the gear down and flying decoupled activates a hidden flight mode that automatically cancels just the pull of gravity on your ship. Essentially coupled along the vertical axis, decoupled along the horizontal axis, relative to the ground. Literally the most useful flight mode in atmosphere. Doing this keeps your forward vector chevron rock steady, and you only have to manage drag from the atmosphere with periodic bursts of forward thrust.
I just got to the space station with all my cool gear after days of trying, and messing with gamepad keybinds. I crashed before i could get to the hospital. Maybe next time!!
i tryed this game last noght and took me 3 and a half hrs to get out the door of my apartment. yep i was done with it by time i got to lower level there was so many people running out the med center and dropping there robes i started picking them up
I can confirm that box delivery missions are very dangerous- On my first mission, my drake cutter crashed due to laser fire from the ground and I froze to death after not finding the package...
I have been contemplating Star Citizen, I love space sim games, I am playing Elite Dangerous at the moment, sure it has its flaws like any other game but feel it has more to do and systems you can put your name on 400 billion systems to travel too. Star Citizen looks like they want to focus on enviroment, it looks amazing, I know they focus on more but I feel with Elite, sure it basic but I don't mind basic, SC having to reset after a update.... no thanks. I might in the future, but Elite, I am happy with it, they may add more features like SC but I am happy to wait.
One thing that I think is essential people should be informed of in beginning tutorials is key binds and best settings ( for most). Especially what may be best thing to bind or change ( throttle inversion..cough)! What is the difference between abs vs rel? Seriously…what is the difference? Also, where trine those things.
This game made me realize that there won't be anything like it. I was one of those that thought Starfield could be that space game for me because it was single player open "world" space game but after actually playing it, just very disappointed with the abundance of loading screens. I was never into MMOs because I just plain don't like playing online with other players. Star Citizen, I make an exception because I can still solo the game and enjoy myself and no loading screens!
I'm the same as you. Grew up on Mass Effect, Deus Ex, KOTOR, etc. Always was looking for a fix after ME3, I wasn't into MMOs ever before but Star Citizen has turned me into a multiplayer, and I don't even have IRL friends who play. Starfield was a joy to play for me, but this game definitely has its own place as well.
I really love how the game utilizes hidden loading screens! Theres plenty games that try this, or just use plain ol loading screens, but the way CIG has integrated them is PERFECT.
@@yeastydynasty there are plenty. Only certain parts of the world are loaded at a time for each client, due to obvious reasons. For instance: Elevators ingame. Okay, well, those are the most obvious. More hidden loading screen are Hangar doors, the vast array of space, entry points for larger ships, etc etc. If you want to be really pedantic you could also count the loading screens when entering the game ;)
@@historyman9436 lol dude whats your proof on this? Using an elevator to get to your ship that spawns in a hangar, you can clearly see you actually travel to that hangar. You jump from one end of the system to other, you can drop out of QT anytime. If there was all these hidden loading screens, this game would almost be in beta right now and the whole only certain parts are loaded at time, sorry false. If that were the case, this game would be ALOT further along than it is right now. Not to mention, the servers would be running a helluva alot better if there was these "hidden loading screens" you are suggesting that are in the game.
Do you know if they plan on having multiple character profiles in the future? I am hoping I can have different chracters so I can role play and specialize at different things. make a criminal pirate running from the law make bounty hunter who is on gray area of law good guy, stand up cargo runner/trader/hauler salvage and scrap hunter etc etc!!
I do play on a workstation so the memory part i have covered with 128 gig, also the game is installed on an nvme drive, but not played in a while and now the game crash on startup every darn time, guess i skip the expo :) The nvme drive sure helps a lot.
Great guide, but unfortunately I can’t spawn my ship, so I can’t follow it. I just tried for an hour to spawn my ship, following every guide I could find and even asking players in-game for help. Apparently I have to reach out to CIG through their support site. Such a frustrating experience.
All elevators should be WONKA-VATOR i.e. made of glass... so that JJ Abrams glorious elevator travel through ship/world is possible. But that would have to have been designed in at the very early stage, not wedged in way too late like all the changes to ships that'll be needed when Engineering comes in. Or when Chris Roberts finally decides that Planets are Not Awesome Enough at 10% scale. Which he probably will at some point.
My first 2 hours summarized: - destroyed seven ships before leaving atmosphere of first planet - died when entering an elevator - got thrown into jail for god knows why - met a lot of incredibly friendly players - managed to land a ship at a space station - have to stay in prison for 3 hours because I dont know how to mine
Potentially odd question: I currently play FPS with half of a keyboard (essentially the left half of a keyboard without an F row). Are there a ton of keys needed for this game, or do you think I should be able to comfortably remap everything into my limited space? I am definitely interested in checking this out. Starfield was like an appetizer, this seems like it could be the entrée and dessert.
You may want more keyboard unless you really love remapping keys. There's a lot of keybinds but you could probably get all the ones you need on what you have. You may also need to ask how to do something in game and get advice that doesn't help given your key changes.
PSA: bugs can and do cause your ship to blow up for no reason. You then cannot get that ship back unless you paid real money for it. This will tempt you to pay real money for really expensive ships because you can lose a lot of time when your ship, which you worked hard for, blows up for no reason. This is why I enjoy Star Citizen during free fly but will not buy it until this gets dealt with. Apparently the ability to buy insurance in-game might come someday. That would be nice. Elite provides this automatically, and even restores all your ship modifications.
Space Tomato: last night in the game someone told me that you CAN in fact get an in-game earned ship back if it blows up - because ships you buy all come with free insurance. So if I buy in with $40 real money and then work in-game for an expensive ship, I won't lose that ship if it blows up because of a bug. I will lose it in a server wipe, but NOT in a random accident. Is that true?
Good tutorial but I have some critiques. - Navigating to ship starter packs (or game packages) on the Roberts Space Industries website is super confusing to newcomers (terrible UX on that website), showing how people can navigate there from the homepage can be helpful. - Backpack size is determined by armor type, when you suggested backpacks that info was missing. When I first played this mechanic confused me, it would be good to clarify that. - You suggest the Aurora but the first ship you jump into is a Pisces. The pilot HUD when first entering a ship can be overwhelming and showing pilot view of the ship you recommended would be ideal. (EDIT: From SpaceTomato's comment below, the tutorial in Area 18 you are given a given a different ship from what you purchase, maybe point to which ship that is in the website pledge store in the beginning)
Thanks for the feedback! I suggest the Aurora, but also suggest the tutorial. You cannot access your Aurora until after the tutorial so this might confuse players.
hi @SpaceTomato i would love it if you would share your current pc hardware build in order to play SC so smoothly :D:D icsn currently play it and also smoothly but you might have a better future proof build :) Thanks!
Tried the link but didn't know what I was supposed to click on..or do to join. I'm used to the actual org page from official site. Anyhow, here is my in game and handle name. I would love to join the TEAM. OldManTorq TSP-Torq
As im playing the tutorial I see at the top of the screen it gives me two options to choose from, my queatio is how do I choose one before it times out?
HERE is the REAL beginner's guide to Star Citizen: Wait until its release before giving them your money. Because it turned out the more money they get, the longer they'll take.
It's annoying that there are still some basic bugs in it. It sounds like the experience is getting an update in 3.22, so hopefully they get things ironed out a bit more.

Clarification: Real money urchased ships are NEVER reset, only ships purchased in-game during the alpha.
The messaging may have been confusing in the video. Sorry!
So i have to pay ONCE. And after the game launches? I have to buy again?
Why is it so choppy?
@@ChicoAzevedo Once you buy a package, it's there...forever...through patches...through release, and most importantly - always after you blow it up.
What about weapons. I've heard there are weapons and stuff you buy with real money that are lost on death?
Hey am I the only one having this issue where when I put on the helmet my HUD icons are not properly within frame? For example about half of the tutorial stuff to the right corner is off screen, I tried adjust field of view but no luck

Ever since Citizencon so many people have been on the servers that it’s caused them to be spotty at best. We need 3.22 and 3.23 asap!

Its great and even if some people think its bad to lose the ships that you buy in game after the alfa but i think it makes the game a lil harder and it will still be fun
I just wish that in the future that they add the abillity to be a mechanic i know its sounds weird but i would enjoy it
well at 40 seconds you just sold the game for me, vehicles on planet vs hoofing it in starfield, will continue watching now.
17:44 Better is with a tractor beam take the whole dead body and move the body to the ship :D
If you have dabbled before (maybe a few years ago) can you "restart" (so as to follow this wonderful guide)
Absoutely! Like I said, there are occsional resets, so if it's been a few years you'll have a clean slate.
You can also reset your character on the website whenever.
So helpful! Thanks for this. So I claim I heard you say the "N key" auto lands your ship? I Love my Syulen, but man a bit of a curve to learn to land it.
Perfect for new people!
Great video as always. Thank you!
Damn this video came jsut at the right time 💯 so many new players and investors after citizen-con 📈
It worked out quite well!
This Game looks AMAZING. ! Does it have full controller support yet. ??
Damn, this was an excelent video. I returned a few days ago and am feeling completely lost, ty!
Glad it helped!
Don't lie bro, everyone needs a carrack day one. Just kidding love the channel.(I have a polaris, a Galaxy and a zeus mr).
Thanks for the guide.
I loaded the game up for the first time in 9 years after seeing this guide. I made it my personal mission to fly into space.
During the tutorial and I had to go to a shop. I was walking through town, suddenly began gasping, BPM was touching 200, a fire icon appeared, counted down to 0 and I died.
Respawned in my room, continued to die and I died in my bed.
Is this a normal day in SC?
One of the most up-to-date professionally made first time player guides I seen in a while I definitely will be recommending friends this video to watch when they want to play for the first time keep up the good work thanks for your dedication
I thought it was weird to call leaving your landing gear down 'derp', given that when flying in atmosphere keeping the gear down and flying decoupled activates a hidden flight mode that automatically cancels just the pull of gravity on your ship. Essentially coupled along the vertical axis, decoupled along the horizontal axis, relative to the ground. Literally the most useful flight mode in atmosphere. Doing this keeps your forward vector chevron rock steady, and you only have to manage drag from the atmosphere with periodic bursts of forward thrust.
Certain large ships like the Reclaimer or Carrack need VTOL on as well to fully cancel gravity on high gravity worlds.
I just got to the space station with all my cool gear after days of trying, and messing with gamepad keybinds. I crashed before i could get to the hospital. Maybe next time!!
i tryed this game last noght and took me 3 and a half hrs to get out the door of my apartment. yep i was done with it by time i got to lower level there was so many people running out the med center and dropping there robes i started picking them up
We need janitors!
Was cool to see you at Citizencon
Great video Tomato . should also talk about reshade for night vision . thermal and more . lifesaver
I can confirm that box delivery missions are very dangerous-
On my first mission, my drake cutter crashed due to laser fire from the ground and I froze to death after not finding the package...
I have been contemplating Star Citizen, I love space sim games, I am playing Elite Dangerous at the moment, sure it has its flaws like any other game but feel it has more to do and systems you can put your name on 400 billion systems to travel too. Star Citizen looks like they want to focus on enviroment, it looks amazing, I know they focus on more but I feel with Elite, sure it basic but I don't mind basic, SC having to reset after a update.... no thanks. I might in the future, but Elite, I am happy with it, they may add more features like SC but I am happy to wait.
One thing that I think is essential people should be informed of in beginning tutorials is key binds and best settings ( for most). Especially what may be best thing to bind or change ( throttle inversion..cough)! What is the difference between abs vs rel? Seriously…what is the difference? Also, where trine those things.
years of playing SC, and today I learn holing N can autoland...........
This game made me realize that there won't be anything like it. I was one of those that thought Starfield could be that space game for me because it was single player open "world" space game but after actually playing it, just very disappointed with the abundance of loading screens. I was never into MMOs because I just plain don't like playing online with other players. Star Citizen, I make an exception because I can still solo the game and enjoy myself and no loading screens!
I'm the same as you. Grew up on Mass Effect, Deus Ex, KOTOR, etc. Always was looking for a fix after ME3, I wasn't into MMOs ever before but Star Citizen has turned me into a multiplayer, and I don't even have IRL friends who play.
Starfield was a joy to play for me, but this game definitely has its own place as well.
I really love how the game utilizes hidden loading screens!
Theres plenty games that try this, or just use plain ol loading screens, but the way CIG has integrated them is PERFECT.
@@historyman9436 lol there isn't any hidden loading screens in the game.
@@yeastydynasty there are plenty.
Only certain parts of the world are loaded at a time for each client, due to obvious reasons.
For instance: Elevators ingame. Okay, well, those are the most obvious. More hidden loading screen are Hangar doors, the vast array of space, entry points for larger ships, etc etc.
If you want to be really pedantic you could also count the loading screens when entering the game ;)
@@historyman9436 lol dude whats your proof on this? Using an elevator to get to your ship that spawns in a hangar, you can clearly see you actually travel to that hangar. You jump from one end of the system to other, you can drop out of QT anytime. If there was all these hidden loading screens, this game would almost be in beta right now and the whole only certain parts are loaded at time, sorry false. If that were the case, this game would be ALOT further along than it is right now. Not to mention, the servers would be running a helluva alot better if there was these "hidden loading screens" you are suggesting that are in the game.
Awesome video! Extensive and clear. Would be a beginner again. Love your content.
Do you know if they plan on having multiple character profiles in the future? I am hoping I can have different chracters so I can role play and specialize at different things.
make a criminal pirate running from the law
make bounty hunter who is on gray area of law
good guy, stand up cargo runner/trader/hauler
salvage and scrap hunter
etc etc!!
As soon as he reached the hangar I knew it was over lol. Its become part of the ritual for newcomers to crash their ship as soon as they get it
I am here because I didn't see the tutorial option pop up for me. May have been a bug, I dunno. But man this game is hard without tutorials lol.
Make sure to load into one of the landing zones that have the tutorial active!
I do play on a workstation so the memory part i have covered with 128 gig, also the game is installed on an nvme drive, but not played in a while and now the game crash on startup every darn time, guess i skip the expo :) The nvme drive sure helps a lot.
Great guide, but unfortunately I can’t spawn my ship, so I can’t follow it. I just tried for an hour to spawn my ship, following every guide I could find and even asking players in-game for help. Apparently I have to reach out to CIG through their support site. Such a frustrating experience.
Nice!
I once had my entire ship disintegrate because I lied down in my Aurora and got back up. Stay safe out there people.
It's a dangerous world
Thanks for the overview!
All elevators should be WONKA-VATOR i.e. made of glass... so that JJ Abrams glorious elevator travel through ship/world is possible. But that would have to have been designed in at the very early stage, not wedged in way too late like all the changes to ships that'll be needed when Engineering comes in. Or when Chris Roberts finally decides that Planets are Not Awesome Enough at 10% scale. Which he probably will at some point.
Ayyyy that's my Reddit post at 0:55! I'm famous
Lol thank you for enduring the long wait!
Thank you for posting this video 🎥🍿🍺🇺🇸👍. You have a new subscriber 🎉. Keep up the great 👍 work.
Great video Tomato. Thanks. A friend from Italy.
Really good guide, thank you!
you'd better go with Cutter starter pack. It costs the same as Aurora but better due to current discount.
04:00 where do you buy all this equipment, what wendors where do you find the vendors ????
I bought a cutlass black 10 years ago, forgot i had it lol
Great vid, thank you!
Just started sc yesterday looking for friends to play with.
My first 2 hours summarized:
- destroyed seven ships before leaving atmosphere of first planet
- died when entering an elevator
- got thrown into jail for god knows why
- met a lot of incredibly friendly players
- managed to land a ship at a space station
- have to stay in prison for 3 hours because I dont know how to mine
Amazing video Tomatoman!
Great video
Thank you
Potentially odd question: I currently play FPS with half of a keyboard (essentially the left half of a keyboard without an F row). Are there a ton of keys needed for this game, or do you think I should be able to comfortably remap everything into my limited space? I am definitely interested in checking this out. Starfield was like an appetizer, this seems like it could be the entrée and dessert.
You may want more keyboard unless you really love remapping keys. There's a lot of keybinds but you could probably get all the ones you need on what you have. You may also need to ask how to do something in game and get advice that doesn't help given your key changes.
@@wertacus this is helpful, thank you!! I'll dig out a full size :)
If you use a HOTAS or HOSAS setup, you can get away with a limited keyboard. Otherwise I'd at least want a TKL, I personally use a full size keyboard.
PSA: bugs can and do cause your ship to blow up for no reason. You then cannot get that ship back unless you paid real money for it. This will tempt you to pay real money for really expensive ships because you can lose a lot of time when your ship, which you worked hard for, blows up for no reason. This is why I enjoy Star Citizen during free fly but will not buy it until this gets dealt with.
Apparently the ability to buy insurance in-game might come someday. That would be nice. Elite provides this automatically, and even restores all your ship modifications.
Space Tomato: last night in the game someone told me that you CAN in fact get an in-game earned ship back if it blows up - because ships you buy all come with free insurance. So if I buy in with $40 real money and then work in-game for an expensive ship, I won't lose that ship if it blows up because of a bug. I will lose it in a server wipe, but NOT in a random accident. Is that true?
Do credits also get whipped ?
I'm allergic to Tomatoes, but you are an exception! Great video.
Good tutorial but I have some critiques.
- Navigating to ship starter packs (or game packages) on the Roberts Space Industries website is super confusing to newcomers (terrible UX on that website), showing how people can navigate there from the homepage can be helpful.
- Backpack size is determined by armor type, when you suggested backpacks that info was missing. When I first played this mechanic confused me, it would be good to clarify that.
- You suggest the Aurora but the first ship you jump into is a Pisces. The pilot HUD when first entering a ship can be overwhelming and showing pilot view of the ship you recommended would be ideal. (EDIT: From SpaceTomato's comment below, the tutorial in Area 18 you are given a given a different ship from what you purchase, maybe point to which ship that is in the website pledge store in the beginning)
Thanks for the feedback!
I suggest the Aurora, but also suggest the tutorial. You cannot access your Aurora until after the tutorial so this might confuse players.
@@SpaceTomato Oh weird I did not know that. That's kind of strange of them to do.
I have a Question the 5k you get from referral is that use jt and lose it, I mean when they wipe the servers you dont have the 5 k anymore ?
13:00 This did not work out for me 😂 I flew into the space station about 4 times on my first session.
It's a rite of passage o7
i've played this game for 2 years, why am i watching this....
hi @SpaceTomato i would love it if you would share your current pc hardware build in order to play SC so smoothly :D:D icsn currently play it and also smoothly but you might have a better future proof build :) Thanks!
I don't have the greatest build for it, but you can find me info here: bit.ly/GamingKit

amazing video space
As im playing the tutorial I see at the top of the screen it gives me two options to choose from, my queatio is how do I choose one before it times out?
Where can I buy that jug armor that is full white when showing off the armory 2:51
HERE is the REAL beginner's guide to Star Citizen:
Wait until its release before giving them your money.
Because it turned out the more money they get, the longer they'll take.
I tried the tutorial and it bugged out when I tried to eat the burrito. . ... Can't restart it. 😢
It's annoying that there are still some basic bugs in it. It sounds like the experience is getting an update in 3.22, so hopefully they get things ironed out a bit more.
