My first crimestat was my first take off, me and my friend in my cutty black, I go in 3rd person, I didn't realize what the mouse wheel did, I figured it did nothing as I thought it was zoom in and out while in 3rd person and I go to raise the ship off the ground and my ship flies right into the doors as they are just opening.

One really useful thing i noticed recently is that, when you land at a planetary outpost, the building that has the buy/sell terminal is the one with the sort of orange, c-shaped antenna sticking out of it, usually with some lights on it. Saves a lot of frustration and opening multiple airlocks when you know that. If your ship is getting blown over by the wind on the Microtech moons - land with your nose facing the wind. Keeping your velocity limiter in the blue makes your ship more manoeuvreable

Huge tip: If you intend to make millions quickly make your first big money purchase a prospector. As a fellow new player myself I know how tempting it is to save for a dream ship but I went from investing all of my money on the Prospector to making that money back in a few days.

Mining and also how to find points of interests like caves or derelict ships for loot

nice tips! Some extras you could use : shortcut C when flying is cruise control, Make sure to turn it off again when landing. Ctrl - C Decouples your ship so it keeps momentum when flying, Make sure your'e flying 'coupled' when landing. Some smaller ships have low hit points, rough landing without putting down your landing gear will explode the ship (Toggle landing gear is N ) Holding F and right click will turn up your inner thought menu, there's some handy shortcuts there, like removing your helmet to drink or eat.

It’s really exciting to see more well-known gaming channels beginning to make more serious content about the game. This hasn’t really happened in years, but now it’s starting to pick up and I can only guess that’s because SC is starting to look and feel more and more like the game it’s meant to be. Thanks LevelCap! See you in the ‘Verse some day, hopefully.

Thanks, nice summary. I wish I had this video 2 years ago when I started playing on a regular base. Other tips: - F12 toggles your ingamechat-display - Start with Box-missions (courier). There you learn the basics (landing/takingoff, flying, travel, navigation, interaction) and it gives OK money. See you in the verse o7

Another tip, power management. When dogfighting always all power to shields, only have power to engines or weapon's when you need to recharge. Shields re-charge when not hit for a few seconds. The larger ships have shield facings, so you can divert more power to the front, rear or sides using the numpad keyes

The Origin 100 series has the very useful party trick of being able to be called in at Platinum Bay spawn pads at outposts. Currently there are about 12 ships you can do this with, but the 100's are the least expensive and most useful. Also worth noting that with 3.17, the Mustang Alpha is getting the ability to stow mission boxes in the rear cargo area, making it a solid alternative to the Aurora, especially if you think you're going to start with combat missions.

Oh man, you have really opened up what kind of game this for me. I will love this game. Thank you!!

YESSSSS. Anvil Terrapin !! Totally pointless right now, but I still love the look of the ship. Some more stuff: 1) If you buy a new quantum drive and put it on your ship, you will need to go into the POWER MFD, the ITEMS tab, and click on the power button next to the new drive in the list, or it won't function 2) F4 is external view, but your control input is still active, which can be disorientating. When in external view, HOLD Z and then move your mouse to change the view angle without changing the vector of your ship. Release Z when you want to have control of the ship again. And when coming down to land in hangars and such, angle your external view to top-down, so you can very easily see your ship fitting through the hangar doors. 3) You need ammo and med refills individually placed on your armor in order to be able to reload. You won't reload if you have ammo in inventory only. 4) ALT X wipes your helmet visor. T turns on FPS torch. But in ships L turns on your ship lights. 5) You can share missions with people and they will share in the credit reward (such as bounty missions). the right bracket key ] is the accept option for on screen invites (which do not appear for very long, so be quick to accept) 6) Be careful about pressing BACKSPACE when in the pilot seat as its default keybind is self destruct...... 7) Leaving ships too long on landing pads or in hangars will eventually get them impounded. So don't linger too long and get them stored. 8) Pressing C while driving or flying is auto-cruise. Careful not to press this when your throttle is set to max as you will inevitably fly into something you didn't want to. Generally turn auto-cruise off just before a quantum jump too.

@onik7000

6) Rebind self-destruct asap. Or unbind it. You dont really need it in game right now.

I would add 4 more to what he said in the video: 1) That thing that shows you where your ship is going is called the Pilot Velocity Indicator. By default it fades away when it comes near the middle of the screen which is bad because when u don't see it u don't immediately know if its off screen or or faded because its in the middle. Go into Game Options -> Pilot Velocity Indicator and change it from Fading to Always On. 2) When selecting a location on or around a planet/moon, double click the planet or moon before trying to select it. If you don't no amount of clicking will select the location. Just double click , you might zoom out, zoom back in and hover the mouse over the location and u'll see the green line allowing you to select it. 3) For the helmet just take a look in the bottom right hand corner for a faded X, it represents the ammo count of your weapon and iits only there when you have the hud from the helmet on. 4) The Voyage Quantum drive would also work and its available at more places. The starting areas like New Babbage (Omega Pro) and Baijini point (Platinum Bay) above Area 18. Coincidentally those are also the same places you can get the best starter shields for your ship as well , the Palisade.

Thank you. This is the best video I have seen. My first crime stat was not stopping for inspection above Microtech 😅

They finally fixed the cargohold on the Mustang Alpha. You can now lower it, put boxes in it, and even climb inside if you really want to.

I think one of the most confusing thing is inventory at start. When you start you don't have a backpack and the inventory you are seeing is the storage you have in the base you are at. When you jump in your ship and fly away things disappear because of that.

A good 4th option even though it won't win most combat bounties it still has a good jack of trades... Nomad is good but has its uses it is the smallest option to equip a roc mining buggy. but also offers a interior to log out in. between a cutty and titan on price just thought i would mention this.

Also, go to settings and turn on padlocking. This will allow your character's head to always track the target ship wherever they go. Good for missiles since they use your visors to spool up and to always have vision of your target. You can add a keybind for it under Vehicle-Targeting which I highly recommend you do so instead of leaving it on at all times so you can turn it off when you don't need to keep looking at the enemy.

A good tip for quantum traveling is to go full speed when your about to jump, it seems to stop the bug where it can't keep the jump icon locked. Good luck citizen.

You can link your ship boost to the spacebreak to have better stopping power, but some times you will still need to use the about face maneuver to slow you down quicker, and if you use spacebreak with boost at the same time it'll stop your ship faster than just rear facing and using engines. Other than that a well explained new player video, you covered a lot in this.

Excellent video thank’s. Might finally be trying this in a few weeks, although I’m still not completely off the fence. Every time I manage to talk myself into it, I see or read something that makes me think “wait….what?”. If this is the time though, these tips have been really useful.

Good quick guide. Many great tips in there. As for ship weapons, I prefer laser cannons. They have a fairly rapid rate of fire, but do more alpha damage, and have typically 50% more sustained DPS. So sustained DPS takes into account the recharge time of the energy weapon capacitor.

I agree canons are better for a lot of NPC missions but the projectile velocity is slower making them harder to aim. hence repeaters for new players until you start to get a feel for the game and want to experiment more.

OMFG as a Noob it's been so frustrating trying to accomplish missions, head out, only to be greeted with being on the wrong side of the planet to get to the location. I've been so pissed with the time I have to waste to then get around the other side. Never knew about the icons telling you that such is the case. Same tip with setting up on a orbital station instead of city; I'll be doing that the next time I fire up the game because it does drain so much time just trying to get out to a location (bed > city > transport system > terminal > hangar > atmosphere > finally to space). Thanks for making this vid for us SC Noobs o7

a good tip i'd like to add, holding shift for boost while not using any directional inputs will help you kill velocity faster if in coupled mode. its not something someone often thinks about but makes sense when you think about it.

I have been playing this game a longtime. Still a couple of things from this piece. One of my tips would be. Always wear your helmet in a station. You never know when you might walk into an empty lift shaft and find yourself out in space. 😂 Thanks for the video. Brilliant.

although i knew almost everything you told as a early baker, its a great collective of useful tipps for early players! Thenks alot for that work!

Great Video! Thank you!

Use the G key to cycle Gimbal Assist mode on and off for your guns. It's a huge help to new pilots to have it on, and almost all starter ships come stock with gimbals. Be aware that activating your quantum drive or going into missile operator mode will reset your gimbals to off.

- You don’t need to double press the ATC button. You only have to press it once. - the marker can also turn red if you lack the fuel to reach it. - you can turn the velocity indicator (the marker that tells you where you are going) on permanently (ie doesnt fade in the center) it’s the Pilot - Velocity Indicator in the game settings. - A reset doesn’t reset your reputation, just the certifications. - Outposts don’t care about your crime stat (because they don’t have turrets) they also will repair and refuel you. - you can take off your helmet in bunkers and inside buildings to eat (DONT PASS THROUGH AN AIRLOCK WITH NO HELMET)

My biggest worry is how they will adjust the Cryengine, with a 50 player cap, into a large scale MMO with a single shard also how they will cope with latency between continents as light speed is a fixed paramiter. Part of my enjoyment for the game is following the development as I've always been interested in how it all comes together and I feel I'm not he only one. To end this. Join an Org if you like the play. It gives a completely different experiance.

@@linkinemerson8620 You'll actually find the community quite helpful which surprises many new players. The Org I'm part of mainly consists of adults and our discord is a gaming platform playing anything from DCS to Battlefield plus SC of coarse. If you do jump in the game add me as a friend and I'll gladly help you out the best I can.

The learning curve on this is huge, it took me a week just to figure out how to open a door

Great friendly helpful video. Game definitely doesn't have a new player friendly experience and we all remember going through this stuff.

keep up the hard work buddy 🔥

@LevelCapGaming How often do you run into issues like crashes / disconnects and bugs? I started about 5 days ago and have completed 2 missions since I keep having to respawn for one reason or another.

Something good to note, during alpha, there WILL be wipes. CIG wants to avoid wipes, but circumstances may call for inventory wipes if needed. This applies to ingame purchased stuff.

@@ImNoctica correct, stuff bought with real money stays on your account. Semirelated, and in regards to losing items/ships bought with real money; Right now, subscriber armor/weapons that you buy with real cash can be lost if you die with that equipped. CIG has plans to implement some sort of ingame service to regain them again, but currently, there isnt. If you lose a subscriber item you wont get it back unless you reset your account (note, reset doesnt mean wipe). In regards to losing ships, in the future it will TECHNICALLY be possible to lose your ships if destroyed, which is why there will be insurance plans ingame that you need to keep up, but it shouldnt be too big of a hassle. Right now during alpha though, that is completely irrelevant, you wont lose your ships if they're destroyed.

The map and route system has helped me TREMENDOUSLY! It helps me focus on a jump point, only showing the jump that i want to go and not the point behind/next to it. I’m not sure why players have difficulty using that.

can you elaborate more, have that same issue now.. thanks

When I bought star citizen I used level cap’s referral code, really does help you start out especially now that you loose your kit when you die!

Hit the R key to engage flight ready, it turns everything on! In the gladius when you hit R it gives you a pretty cool startup animation!

Oh man that manual magazine system is aweeeeesome. Really wish I could play this lol I also wish more fps games offered hardcore options like that. Where you have to choose between the speed of just dropping your current mag and losing any remaining rounds, with the prudence of putting it back in its pouch and risking the longer reload. That's so great : )

ohhh man ... i love how you're moving up into star citizen

A really nice guide for new players today. I hope more and more people get interested in SC after more big KZreadr cover it. But I think the most people can't even reach a playable fps to really "get good" or something 😅

Love all the SC content... it's gotten me back into it. You uses to do gun reviews in BF.... Maybe some SC gun or ship reviews? ;)

You can also use the "R" binding in ground vehicles and turrets instead of searching for the power button.

This! He never said r. Idk if it's newer or something but ya r is my goto

These are insanely good tips

Learned that the broken lines means its on the other side of moon or planet and learned about the website I gotta go check out. Subbed and thanks!

Brand new player here and I can confirm that this helped … I have never watched more beginners guides for any other game EVER … game is sick tho thanks for the help

So glad I just CCU'd my Mustang Alpha for an Avenger I've had since I started backing SC when I was in high school almost FIVE YEARS AGO. lol

I just had to add that you stated "once the universe opens up..." :) Please let any new player know that if they have a ship (and fuel) they can go everywhere :) And box missions are a really great way to see all kinds of aspects of the 'verse.

Part 2 please! Never commented here but dudr i love your sweet voice! ;)

having over 7k hours and this is good info for new players in the game. Spend lots o time answering questions from new players which they could have just known if they watched this video. Even though i don't agree with some of the quantum drives you said because all of them have benefits / disadvantages. Faster quantum drive means faster jump but more fuel consumption. Slower quantum drive is slower jump but more range

If you do end up with jail time, it counts down in real time--even if you're logged off. If you want to finish your sentence sooner, you can mine rocks or do maintenance missions. Once you know the layout of the tunnels, you can turn an 8 hour sentence into a 30-45 minute sentence. You also might be want to find someone willing to sell you merits (currency used to shorten your sentence), or even find a way to break out of prison...

Great video! I wish it was out when I started! One correction, you don't lose mission reputation with a character reset. You do get access to the certification mission again but you don't have to do it to get access to the missions.

Few more tips! To put all ships into a rdy to fly start, simply press R, this works for everything it you cant set route on star map, try and set route to another destination, quantum to the destination, can only be for a short while, then try qting to the original place

Great stuff man, been playing for a few weeks but all I've been doing is flying, dyjng and exploring, haven't even managed to equip a gun in the outside world yet, despite having one, although that could have been due to a bug which caused the inventory screen to have...well....no inventory, just me, standing there like the proverbial lemon
