Star Citizen New Players Know This Before You Start | Beginner's Guide

It's utterly ridiculous that Space Ports don't have beacons. Airports have had landing beacons since modern radio communications, but in the 31st century, it's not a things? It's as dumb as not having a compass when you're on foot. Possibly dumber.

I have been doing allot of research on this simulation/game in the past.(which is where I found your station) I found out allot on my own, and you revised that in this, GJ... In truth, I didn't know the last 2 points you mentioned, and I will make a note of it, once I get this and start running, I just wish the keyboard options where NOT so vast. Almost want to dig my older pilot simulator joy stick and throttle control out of my tech box. I'm hoping it would prove very useful in the future... Please remember, be safe boss, please

Im sorry any game that you die if you have to leave is not a game worth playing. No in game saves, and you lose your money and have to "rebirth" just because you have to quit the game to do real world stuff. Done.

7 minute mark. What's that song?! I dig it.😊

Great content there mate do you also help with ship upgrades ?

Awesome video, thank you very much. Idk if it's already been made, but i'd love a video/forum of all the very useful keybinds such as; Auto-landing, Tethered Flight, Docking, etc...

I died to the elevator 4 times before I got off planet.

Got Game. Used your code. The alien datacomp is infecting my deskcomp as we speak. See you in the verse!

they design the city with logic so if you can find your way without map in real life you'll have no trouble in game

One of the best things about this game is the community that is here to help you get started. I hope to be playing this for many years. Would love to see Squadron 42 come out some day as well.

Hi tomato ,what is the name of the first space suit?

Thank you 🍻

Man, f**k this game. They keep adding things but the most basic functions are completely broken. I was tempted to buy it and then remembered why I haven't already. As much as everything is in shambles, I do think I belong in space. I'll try in 10 years

What do you do if you glitch out into space because of an elevator?

i dont know if this is true but i tried to land in a hangar and then accidentally pressed f3 (my keybind for atc calling)and it said impounding vehicle so i was like wut also i flew out of a hangar once and they just shot at me for no reason. but ig il just have to learn the keybinds cuz theyre are a lot

Super helpful video, thanks!

Learned elevator thing the hard way, got sucked out multiple times lol

How close are we to server messing?

You know, I love the graphics. I love the world but the bugs... argh! I have been trying to play for a week now. All I want is to do some simple missions to learn the game. 11 times I have tried to do simple 'package delivery' missions... succeeded twice. Between the bugs and glitches and some moron flying up and ganking my ship while I was trying to carry a box inside I have failed 9 times out of 11. After finally carrying on box halfway across the system for pocket change I tried one carrying three boxes. No matter what I did, I could not let go of one of the three boxes inside my ship. I tried over and over but them some dimwit showed up and started shooting up my ship again so I ran to the cockpit, box in hand and tried to take off. The guy finally quit shooting and left but then the box had no label so I couldn't deliver it... another failed mission... I get it, it is an "Alpha" but hey they took my money so they should be able to deliver some level of decent playability. They seem more interested in adding more and more complexity without fixing what they already have created... for what, ten years? I have beta tested games before but usually they didn't cost $45 or more dollars for the 'honor' of testing their product for them. Also, no protection for new players? That isn't going to draw a lot of new people in folks... Maybe Ill try back again in a couple more years. At least then maybe they will have the elevators in New Babbage working 😆 For now, back to Elite Dangerous where I have a few billion credits and a dozen ships that work and missions that don't glitch. It may not be as pretty but hey, it works.

Liked and subscribed. All your vids are great examples of how it's done. The work you put into them really shows.

This was by far the most useful tips for beginners like myself. Thank You.

Amazing vid and very informative.

what do you do when you die and you're wondering around in a hospital gown ...nightmare

Analytics!

nowadays when elevators dont load in i just step in, either i live or die, its a fun 50/50 gamble

Spac3tomato3 its you?? im Jimako the guy in bunker ( the noob) haha, u kill me 2 days a go hehehe

Save your self a lot of time landing by keybinding a button to request permission to land or take off. I use F3 and it is soooo helpful instead of fumbling to call for permission.

A keybind I use a lot is shift+U to turn off all ship system and get out at same time

My biggest tip for new Star Citizens is that this game is a Marathon, not a sprint. Development is 10 years and counting, so don't expect to have all those exciting new features right away. Enjoy the game as it is now, and try to pace yourself.

Hey there, I am thinking about getting this game, I would like to know how much grieving is currently present? Things like forced pvp, spawn camping and similar "kid" things?

For me it's not just the starmap that's annoying. I was doing a mission to find a missing person on a derelict in space and trying to find the person while in EVA is annoying as hell.

2 could have helped when I slammed a couple full cats into space stations when i started haha

My best tip if you're starting out at microtech go to buds growery on Euterpe there you will find free guns and armour, from there go to MT DataCenter 5WQ-R2V-C kill the bad guys there and you will be loaded with guns and armour.

Sharing this with new peeps for sure!

Nice video dude

i want that pirate cat lol

That editing tho! 🔥

nice info, keep it up!

Great stuff as always Tomato! Coolest voice in gaming 👍

FYI, you don’t have to check yourself in at clinics at space stations. There are “insurance” kiosk that allow you to transfer your respawn data to the new clinic, without having to check in and/or lay down.

Here'e another tip, you're gonna need rock solid and FAST internet, not just for game stability, but also to download the 100GB!! game file.

Been playing for 8 years and I still learned something new from this video!

Star Citizen beginner guide with a single tip.
Don't pledge to anything till it's out. Star Citizen is a buggy mess for years and if you don't want to be an Alpha tester then, stay away from it.

Why backspace when exiting to menu and going back into the game will get you back to your last station

One way to retain your equipment if you happen to become incapped or sucked out into space by the "elevator of death" is relog. You will respawn in the apartment with your gear. If you happen to be incapped, when you die, you respawn at the hospital and your gear is in local inventory.

TWENTY TIPS: that means 'the game is neither user-friendly' or 'design-unified' at all. These are all ten-year-player workarounds. Right?

I'm not above charity. I currently have zero Referrals, but I have big aspirations.

To new players: be ready for alpha and amount of bugs in game is just mental, in addition to that prepare for very low fps unless you’re on 3090 with i9....

Hawkes gaming mentioned there was a hot key in key bindings for requesting ATC approval rather than going through the menus, but I struggled to find it.

Learned that the altmeter didn’t work the hardway when I flew right into the planet surface at 800 thinking I was nowhere near it yet. I miss ED’s night vision!
