For landing pads, both at stations and on the surface, they prioritize whatever ship was there first for services. even if there's enough room for your ship next to the one already there, you won't be able to use it to repair or refuel. It's why people abandoning their ships on these pads is generally frowned upon. These ships do not despawn when you log out, either.
Yeah you can gently shove the ships off the pads if you're careful but I didn't want to mention that incase new players blow themselves up or get an accidental crimestat lol
@@ITSecNEOYeah it seems to have gotten worse this patch unfortunately. You can try a different landing pad on a different moon or you can just claim the ship
This is not true at all. I have repaired ships many many times on pads with other ships, and unable to repair in empty ones. There is no set pattern to this. And I am referring to the pads outside of stations and in mining stations on surface.
This is good to know. Maybe I'll start using my SRV to yoink abandoned ships off pads lol. Speaking of which, another good tip: If you scan a ship and the "Owner" field lists "GameRules" that means the player that owned that ship has logged out, so you don't need to worry about them lurking around waiting to snipe you for your cargo lol.
Great vid, I knew most except the drop item keybind. Here's 2 more: 1) In the starmap, If you can't select a location on a planet or above it , like its space station, double click on the planet and try again, the routing line should appear. I just get into the habit to double click a planet to select it to be sure. 2) The flattened circle with the white dot in the middle on the left side of the HUD is actually a 3D visualization of your where you Pilot Velocity Indicator is , so you can always look at that and see what direction your ship is headed in 3D space just by looking at the white dot. oh bonus one : 2.5) Go into Game settings and change Pilot Velocity Indicator from Fading to Always On. This way it doesn't disappear where near the middle of the screen and u'll know that if u don't see it , its off to the sides somewhere and it'll allow u fine control of your ship direction to avoid obstacles in front of you etc.

LITERALLY the very first tip. I can't TELL you the amount of time I have spent going to the CommLink to disable to the chat every single time I log in. Thank you.
Glad to hear it! some of the information is outdated now since we've had quite a few changes in the last couple patches but lots of the info is still valid!
You can thank pratchet for that. I was working on this video the past week and during a conversation with him where he was going back and forth on getting a zeus it gave me the idea for the "should you buy" video lol
Extremely useful video this pal. There are quite a few of these tips I didn’t know about especially number 12. I always thought it was strange when they introduced the new inventory system that it was easy to equip ammo magazines but so fiddly to unequip them. I’ve been doing it manually all this time oblivious to the ‘item port helper’ button!
Haha that's great to hear! Yeah i love the item port helper, I just wish it didn't default off every time, but its easy enough to turn it on and sort out your bugged out ammo clips lol
I will share it with my group. I might have missed it but did you have the keybind that sets the convergence distance of your guns? That one can be really helpful. @@WingZeroType
@@nathanforrester5140I don't actually, I haven't tried it out yet. In what situations have you found it most useful? I don't have a good place to put that but depending on it's value i might need to make space lol
I had recently used it because of the spirit A1. it's convergence point is to close. But as far as on the fly adjustments. Sometimes when I am doing close support Air to ground it can be useful to make it easier to shoot a player. It not a keybind I use often but when I need it it is helpful. @@WingZeroType
1:30 - The last time I tested the inventory you could not be more than 12km away. Some AZs are larger so just being in the AZ might not be close enough. But, this is a very handy tip to share with people. I played for over a year before I figured this out.
Yep good point, I think New Babbage is one of the ones with one of the larger AZs, but I think most of the stations aren't too bad. I should've given a tip that says "if you're within hangar request range you should be good"
Yep that's true, but I always want to max out my power to get the additional bonus the system gets above 33% power, and since shields don't recharge while being shot. So I always want to tap to max
That's awesome! It used to be even better, like middle clicking would lock you to a specific MFD as well, but now it just locks the zoom level. Still super helpful though :) Thanks for checking out the video!
The game is SO COMPLEX and so deep, its great when you learn the little things that remove tedious stuff. thanks for checking out the video and for letting me know you found it useful - I really appreciate it!
What a great, useful video. I've had this game for a couple years and i still learned some things. Definitely going to share this vid with some friends! :D
Instead of just changing the default PIP in the Game Settings, you can also set a key to toggle between both modes. I use lag pip only on bigger ships (Cutlass and above) so I can switch both pips with a keypress (or button press in my case)

That's great to hear! I'm glad you found it useful man. Welcome to the game! feel free to join the discord (link in vid description) if you wanna hang out with some cool super-helpful veterans, or even just to pop in and ask the occasional clarifying question
Mate, I’ve been so occupied with finding Vera helmets that I’ve not done any space bounties until this week, when I bought a C2, equipped it with S5 Lightstrikes and have been doing VHRTs.. and looting the wrecks. Just did a single VHRT with 2x C2..salvaged about 400SCU of naughty stuff.. easily $3.5 million AUEC for 30 min.
@@WingZeroType alpha 3.21.1 has been nerfed with more RNG. I found C2s loaded with scrap, then a starfarer had 10scu of weevil eggs. Welp, Brios isn’t ‘that’ dangerous now.. no more snipers camping, as visits are less common…
@@shawnc5188yep they rebalanced the loot drop tables a bit so that you can still get big loot, but it happens much less frequently than before. Which was needed, because it was definitely game-breaking before lol.
@@WingZeroType Lol, I did a couple of VHRTs today, then flew to Brios to sell the loot. Found someone had a Storm war there! It was littered with Storms and Storm AAs... lucky for me they all left by the time I got there!
@7:00 this is incorrect. Bottom Line Up Front you can pay off the charges that are classifying you as Crime Stat 3 in certain cases. Crimes are aggregated to give you a Crime Stat level. For example, if you are charged with three counts of Destruction of a Vehicle your Crime Stat level will be CS3. But these charges can be removed by paying the fines. When you pay the fines for these charges your Crime Stat is gone. This misunderstanding occurs because generally when you have a CS3 you have usually killed someone; and there is no fine associated with that charge.
ohhh yes you're right, I forgot about that - thank you very much for pointing out the aggregated charges issue. That can be paid off, but you do need to be wary of turrets trying to kill you on sight if you're not going to a city or Grim HEX.
Tips like this are always useful keep up the good work. Middle klicking the MFD's used to work for me but stop a while back when they changed keybinding any idea how I can get it to work.
Thank you! It works for me now to lock the zoom (like I showed in the video) but it used to work better. It used to be that you could middle click into a specific MFD and it would keep you zoom-locked and left/right/up/down locked directly on that MFD. Now unfortunately you need to move your view to the MFD and it doesn't lock there anymore, but the zoom still locks. Is that the same thing you're experiencing?
Best advice I have for anyone, dont be afraid to ask for help in the ingame chat. You may run into the trolls time to time, but vast majority of people will try to help you
How are you flying without that mushy mouse thing for turning at 9:30? How do I get it to do raw mouse input like that. Or... well, I dread that you're gonna tell me the only way is by buying a flight stick.
Sorry, unfortunately you're right that I'm using flight sticks. I think you can do something with your mouse settings related to vjoy input to get it closer to just direct input but I haven't played around with it myself in a long time.
Great vedio as usual, always feel weird that the ship's radar can only work for 5 kilometers, that's space age, shouldn't they have both a 250 kilometers long range one and a 35 kilometers for close one? 5 is..... well.... sad. 😂 but I know, I know, it is a game, just thought it is a bit funny that we're so advanced in space travel yet or radar is so primitive 🤪
Hahah I think the main thing is the radar is that small so you can more easily parse where the enemies are in relation to you. Since the radar is zoomed into only 5km, it's useful for locating enemies above/below you and also to a given direction and distance from you. If it was zoomed out much more then you might have too many contacts on the radar and it wouldn't be useful without a much larger screen (or dedicated MFD maybe?)
yea, for gameplay 5km is definitely enough. I was just having a little fun about Si-Fi setting, since human can already target airplane with air-air missile at a firing position 100km away from the target during the cold war, and that was the early 1980s, 45 years ago. so that in space age, a 5km combat radar is just, well, you know what I mean here. 😂@@WingZeroType
I was wondering why sub component targeting was not working lately. It seems too time consuming to try scanning for components in the middle of combat, especially with multiple enemies.
A friend of minea wants me to get SC but im hesitate due to some footage ive seen online. How buggy is it worth getting now or waiting another year or so.
Sorry for the late response, but I'd say in general the game definitely requires some patience, and some time investment in learning the common bugs and workarounds. Once you know all the common issues and how to work around them, it's not that bad. But you need the initial patience to spend hours learning and working around common issues.
Loved all the tips, but I can not, for the life of me, understand what you say at 0:36 and that sounds like such a good thing! please someone tell me what he said
haha sorry! Let me see if i can explain it a different way. When you go into the different screens in the cockpit (called multi-functional displays or MFDs) you can click through them to set different things. Some of the menus have long scrollable lists, but when you scroll down the list that zooms out your view. If you middle click to zoom in instead of scrolling up to zoom in, it'll make it so that when you scroll the mouse scroll wheel it won't zoom in or out, so that you can scroll up and down the lists easily. I hope that helped!
Fortunately they've solved some of this horrible bloom since the video was made, but as far as I know there isn't an individual hull brightness setting, only an overall game brightness setting :/
You can claim ships that haven't been destroyed? Do you just leave it outside a station and fly in with eva? otherwise it just gives you the option to store it
Yep you'll save some money and won't lose any time. Generally it's worthwhile after respawning to do whatever else you need to do in station (buy stuff, equip stuff, etc) and then expedite the ship.
@@wengaidenohhh lol you can see the total time in the starmap F2 menu. It's the number in the top left of the starmap - that's how many seconds the total trip takes
Waaaait, so when i scanned one time a ship, i can press 8 a number of time to just scan te cargo bay ? If that's the case it'''s game changing for me !
no for scanning the cargo bay you have to go into scanning mode, but right now there's a bug that you have to scan a ship to subtarget, using the 8 key. 8 is just for subtargetting for weapons.
@@WingZeroType I had my hype to counter that bug, ahaha, rigt now to scan the cargo i have to scan between 3 and 20 times, it's a chore. But still, if i can scan the target, i can subtarget the weapon wich is intersting in itself. I'm not trying that on an F8C with its 8-10ish weapon, ahahaha
so if you hold the F key and scroll in to look at your MFDs (multifunctional displays) in the cockpit of a ship, you can navigate through menus in those screens. Some of those menus have long lists of items that you want to scroll, but when scrolling the list of items, you'll also be zooming in and out, which is annoying. By clicking the middle mouse button, you'll lock your zoom to be zoomed in as long as you're holding down the F key so that when you scroll you'll scroll the list without zooming in and out. I hope that makes sense!
yeah but CS3 you can't get rid of your crimestat by paying off the fines and the station guns will shoot at you everywhere except grim hex (or cities).
...Thanks? lol I appreciate you checking out this video, but if you're feeling burned out on the game take a break! play some other stuff, the game will be here in 5, 10 years if you decide you're feeling the itch again :)
Thank you! And for clarity, i call pitching up what it is - pitching up. But you want to use both. Upstrafe and pitching up are the directions you want to use when fighting. If your pitch alone isn't enough to track someone adding upstrafe can make the difference in letting you get an extra mag on them while rate battling!
Yep you're totally right. Sorry if you just watched it and wasted a bunch of time. I leave it up (with the patch number in the title) b/c for the stuff that's still valid, its useful to have.
hahaha i know right? That's how i felt when I first learned about it too. The P4 has a pretty nice one where its much easier to snipe enemies with higher scopes since there's significantly less recoil
SC have no gameplay right now... So there is nothing to win. Reach max rank with reputation for nothing. Just to do the same quests but with more money reward. No char progression at all. Right the game is just money farm to buy ships.
For landing pads, both at stations and on the surface, they prioritize whatever ship was there first for services. even if there's enough room for your ship next to the one already there, you won't be able to use it to repair or refuel. It's why people abandoning their ships on these pads is generally frowned upon. These ships do not despawn when you log out, either.

@7:00 this is incorrect. Bottom Line Up Front you can pay off the charges that are classifying you as Crime Stat 3 in certain cases. Crimes are aggregated to give you a Crime Stat level. For example, if you are charged with three counts of Destruction of a Vehicle your Crime Stat level will be CS3. But these charges can be removed by paying the fines. When you pay the fines for these charges your Crime Stat is gone. This misunderstanding occurs because generally when you have a CS3 you have usually killed someone; and there is no fine associated with that charge.
ohhh yes you're right, I forgot about that - thank you very much for pointing out the aggregated charges issue. That can be paid off, but you do need to be wary of turrets trying to kill you on sight if you're not going to a city or Grim HEX.
Great content and even after 2 years I learned more. 😅
Thank you so much! I'm so glad it was helpful :)
Yeah that's the same for me it used to be so much better I hope it returns. Fun fact elevator panels lock the way the MFDs used to.😮
hahah i find that kind of funny, but CIG do be like that sometimes
Great video and a Question: How do I make the character to drink a whole bottle in one go?
Thank you, and hold down left click while holding the drink :)
Tips like this are always useful keep up the good work. Middle klicking the MFD's used to work for me but stop a while back when they changed keybinding any idea how I can get it to work.
Thank you! It works for me now to lock the zoom (like I showed in the video) but it used to work better. It used to be that you could middle click into a specific MFD and it would keep you zoom-locked and left/right/up/down locked directly on that MFD. Now unfortunately you need to move your view to the MFD and it doesn't lock there anymore, but the zoom still locks. Is that the same thing you're experiencing?
Best advice I have for anyone, dont be afraid to ask for help in the ingame chat. You may run into the trolls time to time, but vast majority of people will try to help you
My name is wingzerotype and I approve this message!
Great tips!
I"m glad you liked them! Thanks for checking out the video!
How are you flying without that mushy mouse thing for turning at 9:30? How do I get it to do raw mouse input like that. Or... well, I dread that you're gonna tell me the only way is by buying a flight stick.
Sorry, unfortunately you're right that I'm using flight sticks. I think you can do something with your mouse settings related to vjoy input to get it closer to just direct input but I haven't played around with it myself in a long time.
@@WingZeroType welp, thanks for the reply. I'm gonna go play in traffic now
Great vedio as usual, always feel weird that the ship's radar can only work for 5 kilometers, that's space age, shouldn't they have both a 250 kilometers long range one and a 35 kilometers for close one? 5 is..... well.... sad. 😂 but I know, I know, it is a game, just thought it is a bit funny that we're so advanced in space travel yet or radar is so primitive 🤪
Hahah I think the main thing is the radar is that small so you can more easily parse where the enemies are in relation to you. Since the radar is zoomed into only 5km, it's useful for locating enemies above/below you and also to a given direction and distance from you. If it was zoomed out much more then you might have too many contacts on the radar and it wouldn't be useful without a much larger screen (or dedicated MFD maybe?)
yea, for gameplay 5km is definitely enough. I was just having a little fun about Si-Fi setting, since human can already target airplane with air-air missile at a firing position 100km away from the target during the cold war, and that was the early 1980s, 45 years ago. so that in space age, a 5km combat radar is just, well, you know what I mean here. 😂@@WingZeroType
I love how some of the tips and tricks are how to get past bugs lol
Isn't that the game, at the end of the day? :D
@@WingZeroType lol ya
Great video
Thank you so much!
I was wondering why sub component targeting was not working lately. It seems too time consuming to try scanning for components in the middle of combat, especially with multiple enemies.
yeah I totally agree, hopefully its fixed soon!
Thanks M8 !!! Just patched up from a break. Time to play with some tractor beams o7
noice - have fun! I'm not in EPTU yet and I cannot. wait.
very helpfull video, thank you o7
You're very welcome! thanks for checking it out!
❤
Thank you
😉👍
At first I thought this was an under-viewed video, then I realised it was uploaded 11 minutes ago...
to be fair, lets say it's an under-viewed video anyway :D TO THE MOON WE GO!
Must-have knowledge. 👍
Thanks a bunch!
Thank you Heero Yuy
fun fact, I've now self-detonated more than Heero Yuy has
What's middle clicking? Clicking the mouswheel?
yep that's it!
You forgot the most important one: Unbind or rebind suicide/self destruct trigger! ;)
nah man just roll the dice :D
really useful!
Thank you!
A friend of minea wants me to get SC but im hesitate due to some footage ive seen online. How buggy is it worth getting now or waiting another year or so.
Sorry for the late response, but I'd say in general the game definitely requires some patience, and some time investment in learning the common bugs and workarounds. Once you know all the common issues and how to work around them, it's not that bad. But you need the initial patience to spend hours learning and working around common issues.
Loved all the tips, but I can not, for the life of me, understand what you say at 0:36 and that sounds like such a good thing! please someone tell me what he said
haha sorry! Let me see if i can explain it a different way. When you go into the different screens in the cockpit (called multi-functional displays or MFDs) you can click through them to set different things. Some of the menus have long scrollable lists, but when you scroll down the list that zooms out your view. If you middle click to zoom in instead of scrolling up to zoom in, it'll make it so that when you scroll the mouse scroll wheel it won't zoom in or out, so that you can scroll up and down the lists easily. I hope that helped!
@@WingZeroType It did help a lot! thank you a lot for explaining this to me in more detail!
is there a way to reduce the huds brightness. When I´m in dark places i really can´t see alot because the hud elements are way too bright
Fortunately they've solved some of this horrible bloom since the video was made, but as far as I know there isn't an individual hull brightness setting, only an overall game brightness setting :/
I just clicked on the video to make sure that wasn’t me flying the 600i.(it wasn’t) whew!
hahaha as long as you're not rolling with 3 other ships you're good!
You can claim ships that haven't been destroyed? Do you just leave it outside a station and fly in with eva? otherwise it just gives you the option to store it
yep that's exactly what I do. Just park the ship to the side of the landing pads and EVA to the pad and then claim the ship.
good stuff.
thank you! I appreciate you checking it out :)
TIP: When claiming ship with insurance, you can wait out your expedited time before paying the fee to save some money.
Yep you'll save some money and won't lose any time. Generally it's worthwhile after respawning to do whatever else you need to do in station (buy stuff, equip stuff, etc) and then expedite the ship.
Question : if I swap a weapon on my ship using the multitool - do I lose it after reclaim or is it permanent?
it's not permanent unless you store the ship like that, I believe. That's how it was in 3.20, I didn't try it in 3.21.
Really was expecting the stopwatch was to see the time left to reach destiny in quantum...
....destiny??
@@WingZeroType destination LOL
@@wengaidenohhh lol you can see the total time in the starmap F2 menu. It's the number in the top left of the starmap - that's how many seconds the total trip takes
Waaaait, so when i scanned one time a ship, i can press 8 a number of time to just scan te cargo bay ? If that's the case it'''s game changing for me !
no for scanning the cargo bay you have to go into scanning mode, but right now there's a bug that you have to scan a ship to subtarget, using the 8 key. 8 is just for subtargetting for weapons.
@@WingZeroType I had my hype to counter that bug, ahaha, rigt now to scan the cargo i have to scan between 3 and 20 times, it's a chore.
But still, if i can scan the target, i can subtarget the weapon wich is intersting in itself.
I'm not trying that on an F8C with its 8-10ish weapon, ahahaha
Bravo!
Cheers!
It'll also help if all players badger CIG\RSI to double the servers so hampters will not die.
how turn off GSAFE?
thanks a lot
you're very welcome, i hope it was useful!
DO NOT LOG OUT IN SOMEONE ELSE'S SHIP! You can get 30009 error and that no good lol
I was trying with a friend and it wouldn't even let him log out in my ship
there actually aren't any ships earnable in game yet, you can rent them for the wipe, but they won't be added to your account
sure, if that's how you like to think about it it's no skin off my back
I can't understand what you are saying on tip no 3?
so if you hold the F key and scroll in to look at your MFDs (multifunctional displays) in the cockpit of a ship, you can navigate through menus in those screens. Some of those menus have long lists of items that you want to scroll, but when scrolling the list of items, you'll also be zooming in and out, which is annoying. By clicking the middle mouse button, you'll lock your zoom to be zoomed in as long as you're holding down the F key so that when you scroll you'll scroll the list without zooming in and out. I hope that makes sense!
@@WingZeroType Very useful tip, thanks! Couldn't hear which exactly button to press in the video.
Probably avoid dropping anything ever, ive lost a lot of items by them just dissappearing or falling off the map
i hear people saying this sometimes but i drop things a lot and mostttt of the time they're fine lol
@@WingZeroType maybe I'm extremely unlucky because I've lost like 3 armor sets to this
@@mr.bossman8935I think this latest week with IAE was definitely worse than usual, hopefully it gets a bit better now
Now I need a video explaining 80% of the words you’ve said. 😢
I'm sorry if I didn't clarify some things. Is there anything I can clarify now? Happy to answer any questions you have
7:10 doesnt matter cs 1, 2 or 3 you can pay all fines except homicide.
yeah but CS3 you can't get rid of your crimestat by paying off the fines and the station guns will shoot at you everywhere except grim hex (or cities).
Cheers
Thanks for checking it out!
Flares don't counter Cross Section missiles
You may need to increase your decoy count to 3 or 4 but I've definitely had them work for me against cross section missiles
First
second?
i like star citizen
me toooo!
Eh, if you are not burned out yet on how broken this game is. These tips are neat.
...Thanks? lol I appreciate you checking out this video, but if you're feeling burned out on the game take a break! play some other stuff, the game will be here in 5, 10 years if you decide you're feeling the itch again :)
Kills me so many people call pitching up, strafing up. SO MANY. Otherwise great video.
Thank you! And for clarity, i call pitching up what it is - pitching up. But you want to use both. Upstrafe and pitching up are the directions you want to use when fighting. If your pitch alone isn't enough to track someone adding upstrafe can make the difference in letting you get an extra mag on them while rate battling!
No criticism to you but interesting to note that about 70% of this information is now incorrect, due to updates.
Yep you're totally right. Sorry if you just watched it and wasted a bunch of time. I leave it up (with the patch number in the title) b/c for the stuff that's still valid, its useful to have.
@@WingZeroType Not a waste of time for me. I’m a fan of your stuff.
There's ALTERNATE FIRE MODES WTF
hahaha i know right? That's how i felt when I first learned about it too. The P4 has a pretty nice one where its much easier to snipe enemies with higher scopes since there's significantly less recoil
We don't "win" at SC, its a way of life ....
you're totally right. But cut me some slack, making taglines is hard work!
I'll save you some explanation. Just buy ships
i'm already a ship addict, please don't encourage me

it makes dying so much less annoying!
All these years.....
the more you know! :)
Lag Pip gang
Lag pip superiority!
I thought this was tech demo and not a "game", how come you doing all this stuff???!?!!
lol shhhh don't tell anyone
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?
nah we're not at Eve Online levels yet :D
SC have no gameplay right now... So there is nothing to win. Reach max rank with reputation for nothing. Just to do the same quests but with more money reward. No char progression at all. Right the game is just money farm to buy ships.
yeah the gameplay isn't fully fleshed out in the game yet, but for many people there's still plenty of enough room to have a blast.
