So, I Finally Played Star Citizen... It's Insane 

Gotta love the classic new-player experience of rushing to get into space and forgetting to close the door you came in the ship by :D

Next time you play, take a moment to breathe and look at the signs and panels, just like in real life-they guide you. You're running around like crazy without reading anything in the game world. The signs are your friends in this game.

It takes weeks to get comfortable. Lots of ins and outs in this game.

"Are these little stars going by?", asking yourself with a starbase right at gunpoint in front of you, made my day.😁

I have had experiences in this Universe Simulator that nothing else has even come close too. You need to have a certail level of patience, and it isnt for everybody. But if you give it your best shot and dont be afraid to reach out for help the community is there for you. We have all been here, you have taken your first steps into a vast world man. Welcome to the verse citizen! o7

Bunker missions (mercenary) are a good start. You'll get a bunch of medical supplies, weapons and armor from just one mission.

For those who may not know. As part of the downloading of the game, there is a recommendation to try and request a mentor for the game. Mentors are players who volunteer to help mentor new people to assist in the learning curve for Star Citizen. I have been fortunate enough to mentor many people on their first time playing to include streamers and other content creators who just wanted to learn the game for their own enjoyment (and to of course make content too). THe community is very supportive for the most part so if you have questions and think a 1 on 1 teaching of the games complexities would better suit you, reach out and ask and we will have no problems assisting you!

Ah yes, the relatable moment of excitedly getting in your ship, booting it up and then realising: I actually have to be able to fly the giant hunk of metal in order to not crash and die 😂 It takes time before you learn the nooks and crannies of flying and I love how every ship feels differently

Just so you know, You can re-edit your character at any time currently from the menues. Later on, they plan to make that an option at in-game 'shops'.

I love star citizen. Best game ever

Welcome to the `verse citizen. Keyboard/Mouse is hard in 3rd person because the nose of you ship is chasing the mouse pointer you can't see. Flight sticks and gamepads don't have that issue and are more precise analog controls where keyboard is an all or nothing input. The farther from your crosshair your mouse goes the harder the ship will turn to catch it. This is an FPS game, so they intentionally make it unfriendly to try and play in 3rd person, so combat is fair. A gamepad with dual analog sticks can give you a similar experience to players that fly with dual flight sim sticks. The game's creator only plays on a gamepad usually and the keyboard is just a big button box for things you don't need quick access to on the gamepad's limited buttons. I used to use a HOTAS rig from my flight sim games but now use dual flight sticks from VKB and will never play without them again. If you want to enjoy the 3rd person camera with a mouse: Get your ship stable in first person them don't move the mouse off center and switch to 3rd person camera then hold Z for free look and your mouse can rotate camera without changing ship direction. When on foot in 3rd person camera this same method works too. SC has a couple hundred key binds plus some convenience ones not bound to anything by default. Some pages are dedicated to FPS on foot, some while driving ground vehicles, some for ships, some the cinematic cameras. Left Alt Key accesses one layer of bindings while right alt is another. Most things you want to use are on the Left Alt layer of bindings for W A D S key control style ease of use. The F interaction key sometimes does two things depending on if you tap or hold. If there are 2 options, you will see 3 dots under the UI marker hint, so you know holding F is a separate option. There are ways to change the tap and hold default actions when applicable but would take a while to explain. While learning I suggest you keep default settings and look at the control hints on lower right of screen that will change in context as you do various activities. Holding F and right clicking will bring up a radial menu where you can see more options when applicable. Have fun.

I've played since before the persistent universe even existed 😅 if you want a bit of a guided tour I'm happy to hop on for a stream or something. This is also a great time to join in. We're getting a new star system soon, as well as some impressive first of its kind server tech upgrades that we've been waiting a decade for. Just wait, it's gonna be a rough few months, but we are finally nearing something truly special!

I've only got to watch the beginning of this vid but I gotta say I am impressed you actually did some research. So many creators insist on coming in blind with no understanding that SC settings are vital to a good experience. I got my settings to where I can play in 4k 60fps in area 18 with a 4080, i7 13700k, and 32GB ddr5 ram. While streaming and recording.

I love watching people get into SC for the first time. Reminds me of my own experience: a lot of “am I doing this right”, RU-vid research and a desk full of paper notes 😅

When you get out of jumping and close to the planet go into SCM mode so your shields and weps turn on.

Looking at your struggle made me kinda smile. realizing that for new players it is a steap relentless learning curve. i never looked into starfield.. watched a few yt vids and decided to let it pass XD

about time lol. Best space game out there

Decent start... Keep at it. Friends help A LOT ! !

You did great. I was betting you'd crash you ship before getting out of the hangar.

I always search for new players experiences on youtube, it's quite hard to find ! Nice video !

With a game like this, it's SUPER helpful to have someone who is familiar with it tag along in, at the very least, voice chat if not in game as well. Relying on chat to guide you through with a delay and various people chiming in just muddles the waters.

A 45 dollar buy-in is pretty good for the amount of game you get/will be getting. It's far from done tho, I've been backing this game for 10 years, 10 years of little to no gameplay, because there isn't a lot of game to satisfy me or most players. Be very mindful of that fact, there is not a lot of "game" here currently. This is the thing that happened to Summit1g, he played hard for 3 weeks and realized it's far from finished, the initial impression does give a "wow" factor, but it doesn't last. It needs more time. But we gladly welcome you into our cult regardless.

Thank you for reviewing Star Citizen! Don't forget to post your SC Code so other people can use it and you can get in game money.

SC is definitely not for everyone. You need a lot of patience and to know that things will go wrong. You can practice fighting with friends or in the Arena. Everyone in the community for the most part is extremely helpful. They will help you out if they can. Hope to see you in the verse. You did pretty good.

Always good to see new people trying SC.

Justo mire tus 2 videos de star citizen y veo que subes un gameplay wow que buen servicio, bienvenido a sc saludos

You picked Area 18 while Invictus is running. It's the Military Expo of Military ships and the Manufacturers that make them. Later in the year you will have I.A.E. at New Babbage on Microtech.

For performance until it's optimized, I highly recommend installing process lasso and disabling your first and second cores(for start citizen) , to keep your OS responsive, and then turn off every other core(for Star Citizen) and see how the game runs since it can't use hyperthreading. If that makes it run worse, try the other half of your cores.

Those buildings where those boxes were had loot crates to get free stuff to use or sell.

The jump cut to green LEDs and console commands up is peak SC

Thats a sick desktop background. Where can I get one?

Nice job man 07

Welcome to the Verse :) I'll see you in there sometime

Don't know who those people were commenting that you were going too fast and crashed into the moon at Launch Pad. You didn't. You got shot to shit by the turrets protecting the place. It's a restricted area. You got locked seconds before and there was a big red warning at the top of your screen. If anything, you should have flown faster. You need to land about 3 km away and make your way in on foot or with a ground vehicle.

I played 2 hours and i love it. Love the epicness and it can only get better

Fun video, Welcome to the 'Verse. Ask lots of questions, the community is very helpful.

The Reclaimer is the second largest ship in the game besides the 890 J. If you've seen Alien, it's a cool ship.

Are you using left Alt+N instead of right Alt+N?

Welcome into the verse

Welcome to SC. Patience is important to play this game. I swear.

lock you ship some one will steal it and stick in their ship to use it as a fun lil extra ship or strip its guns and components and sell them then strips the hull and sell the metal.

There is a cutout of your right side of the screen that are helpful. Try the same resulotion on every "settings." In Windows, capturecard and ingame, without a secondary screen on, and see if that improves your experiense/fps.

hey, for the character creation, u can chance face shaping by going onto ur face with the mouse and drag the dots! for next time :)

welcome to the verse ^^ o7

You should visit the Invictes Expo Hall , its in Area 18 and you can rent *free ships* there.

you just gave me a random idea 😂 ill make myself JESUS when 4.0 rolls around (right now im walter white)

did you use frame generation? works well for me on my 6700xt

Ive been watching for the pain, might leave for the torture. Dude you have de coupled you flight is why the crash.

a flight stick makes landing so much easier.

lol. I hope you had fun.

Vulkan in this game is available but not completely ready yet. Multi Threading will be added soon, hopefully that helps with the CPU bottleneck.

Once you olay the game more you'll be tempted to start upgrading your starter ship. Don't. Most of the ships are purchasable in game and for some reason people like sending their credits to streamers so you have an extra leg up on grinding.

IIRC the reason you get better performance at higher quality settings is because it offloads more work to your GPU so there's a better split between CPU and GPU... don't quote me on that though, I'm not 100% sure

Love to see new players.

So Im sure your chat has already told you or youve figured it out by now but just for my OCD.... alt N will request launch clearance but it can be reset in your keybinds so you may want to check that.... it can save alot of faff.... stealing other ships is a crime and also other folks will shoot you if the catch you but if the doors shut its locked to anyone but the owner by default anyway

46:53 You always quantum jump to a planet or a Moon first, you can't do the jump to a point cause that point is small.

My character creator is actually ridiculously powerful if you give it a little bit of time. The idea is that a blending parts of other people's faces. Either that or you can grab just about any place on the face and sculpt it.

Yes, I was Rocking R5 2600, 16 GB RAM and 1080Ti. I upgraded (its due anyway) to R5 5600 and 32GB, lock it at 30FPS in driver, 1080P High. its smooooth. Don't worry about the RAM, it will eat what you have. I ran it fine with 16 GB (my 'fine' is pretty low) and it also maxed out with 32GB. I even underclock my 1080Ti, its already unstable in full power. A blessing because of both CPU and RAM combined is cheaper than upgrading my GPU.

It is NOT a trial period. It is in live development. This means all warts and giggles. Did you enable Vulkan? It is not enabled by default. It has less stutters.

If you're not rocking a high-end system, I would recommend limiting your FPS in your GPU driver. a 30FPS lock is far smoother than 30-50 fluctuation.

Alt+N never works for me so I always have to use the MFDs on the ship to open hangers

Are you pressing the left alt or the right alt? it's the left alt+n.

Heh gotta make sure to use left alt + n, left alt and right alt are not equal in Star citizen (or most flight sims)

Never knew i was a space guy dipped a toe on helldivers was fun no pvp then went to swtor then discovered this game and completely addicted to it. I just ignore the negativity that surrounds the game because i know ill be content hunting as a bounty hunter once i get there great game.

I usually pick one of the MFD's (MultiFunctionalDisplay I assume) usually I'll picj the one that says no target click the tab at the top left and change it to comms so that way if hotkeys fail I can just hold f and hit the contact button on there for landing and takeoff it's not as quick as hotkeys but it does make the cockpit feel more immersive! as for 3rd person you'll get used to it you just want to lightly start pulling in the 180 degree opposite of whichever way the ship is pitching you'll eventually have it come into your muscle memory... pre 3.23 Syulen was far harder to takeoff and land in 3rd person when I first started using it luckily i'm good at spatial awareness and directional awareness based on angle I can push in a completely different direction to what it appears even if the camera is on the wrong side! I just wish my depth perception was as good but i'm training it last night I did a barrel roll into a backflip around the ring of Tressler station then into a hangar with the Carrack it was impressive however as impressive as that was it was difficult to land the carrack in the hangar as the front and back are like really close overlook and the doors at either end so I had to take time landing it or i'd either endup with my cockpit landing on the port overview platform or alternatively the hangar doors closing on the back end of my engines and neither would be good cause once you land those gears those doors start closing automatically! the carrack fits in the hangar like a glove and by that I mean theres no room for error I really wish they'd just give it a single update pass to add an updated docking mechanism so I can dock outside instead of into a hangar or at least they add bigger hangars!! sadly the tight hangar means it's difficult because the carrack ain't small and you can't zoom the camera out close enough since it collides with hangar geometry you it's a difficult task making sure it's not making contact at the front or back due to lack of camera angles that prove a full view if the ceiling was higher it might allow one to see the hole carrack from back to front from that angle you could make sure your into the hangar by the right amount... though I imagine after a while i'll remember the timing and no exactly when to stop from experience!

0:10 Look at the menu, Center, bottom. There IS a Button, says 'Find a guide' that the SC Guide system where you can find other Players which will Mentor/Guide you. Either to very specifc game topics or the Game itself.

always glad to see someone new to the game enjoying themselves. Welcome to the verse!! - Citizen Orhanbird

Have to take into consideration the game is still Alpha, Games usually don't do main optimizations until Beta so don't be too worries about performance right now.

Yo Liam, finally found ur other channel

Bro needs to practice switching back to SCM mode when he's close to the ground so he goes slower and has his sheilds on. That should help with pancaking and getting one spotted by AI

The key to SC is don't think of it at a game as it is and think of it as a playable tech demo, hoping 4.0 is the beginning of the end of the tech demo bits tho

You can lock your vehicle in star citizen in a similar way to how people don't leave their keys in the ignition of a car, I mean if your gonna abandon a ship for someone else to use at least leave the virtual key in the virtual ignition! theres 100's of these collectively floating across all the stations and bases in the game makes everywhere look like a shipyard I wish CIG would do some sort of countermeasure for abandoned ships that are completely locked out! not enough reclaimers in the verse for all of em and you can't shoot the locks when your in armstice if I could forget active player ships i'd be taking the ones just floating... that being said I don't need it I got a carrack (the really large ship you almost crash landed next to on wala without your landing gears down) btw that things ramp was down your really missed an opportunity!

you need at least 32G of RAM to run it without page file haha. I really recommend it. Up the graph settings, it will give your CPU some headroom and your FPS will go up

i like how you forgot to shut your back door lol any pilot would look at this and say easy target lol and just wait till you leave and then take you out and steal your ship

Cig and community do well to make it a fun sandbox. While the verse is developed into the best version we can get. Welcome to the Verse, it has a long way to go to be a game but, is still worth some time and consideration to many.

I ran it for years on my hp omen laptop and it has RTX 1070 I did have 16gigs or ram

Star Citizen is an unoptimized game that suffers inconsistent frame rates, but that is set to improve at some point (tm)

Do t worry the new player shine wears off after a week

fun fact: if someone donated you Enough aUEC in star citizen and u play as free fly event, u will have infinite Time to play wich means you can buy ship and Never purchase money For game, Step 1: find rich player and tell him to donate you enough Money to afford Ship

1:39:49 i dont know whats the insurance thing but now i kinda understand Like you buy a ship with real money then thosw ship have expiration date and when it ends you either buy a new ship In-Game or buy the same on In-game Damn imagine they complete the game and they implemented this then you buy the Game played a little and discover your PC cant handle it then after few years you come back With no ship in your hangar and now shipless You either pay a player for being a taxi or rent a ship (or just borrow In-game money and never pay them back)

to be fair, skipped the first half. Hope you had enough fun to keep joining the Verse. Beer is good food.

I bought it when we could only walk around in one room lol you couldn't even fly yet.

Request take off/landing is LEFT ALT+N

I bought it this week. I got 7900xtx and it ran like shit so i got 32gb ram so i got a total of 48 GB ram. On very high graphics i am getting 120 dps in space and 80-90 on ground. Runs very nice but i will be upgrading cpu to ro the am5 platform. I am running it on 1440p too.

why do you keep turboing into the planet with no shields? you are gonna crash every time? death is the instruction manual you learn by dying here and you will die a lot (we all do). the second u get near a landing zone hold b to go into gun mode even if you aint shooting u get shields after u get inside landing distance pull out ur landing gear itll slow u to 30 kph.

Bro is worried he can't run the game but is getting 30 fps easy in a18. I remember when I was getting 5 fps at PO back in the day. It is WAY more optimized now. Upped my ram to 64gig (way cheaper than upgrading cpu or gpu) and cranked the graphics to max to get the CPU to share more of it's load with the GPU and it's run great for over a year. And I don't even have top end hardware. I spent about $2000 on my computer and it was my first build ever.

didnt even bought starfield, i just kept playing star citizen even tho it inflicts emotional dmg to me

128gb ddr4 costs nothing. Works fine with 64gb too. Max settings on old rtx 3080 cards

the ram needs to be 64 cant be at 32 star citizen loves the amd x3d cpu's also you need to play it longer than 1 day

I think it's funny to watch new players play this some of the things I watched this guy do is common sense and other things you need a guide I recommend most new players to find a vet who knows the game so you can get a actual experience out of the game other wise you're going to get annoyed at the small things

How bad is your computer to be running 15fps ?

Please try to ignore the hate you will eventually see... There are of course annoying bugs and long development but I swear if you give it time and patience, the game will impress you more and more! I am speaking from supporting this game for 5 years!

It's only $45 and the gane engine is in alpha, not the game. This is just a test room for developing as they make SQ42, then theyll use this as a foundation for the actual SC

Anyone that saw Fallout 4 & Fallout 76 knew that Starfield would be garbage... it's a pattern.

You AI generated your own face for the thumbnail? I almost didn't notice. almost.

It litteraly says hostile territory

You don't realize it coming in but development of this game is pretty slow and once you've seen everything the true believers of this game try to validate their opinions or relive their initial experience by watching new players, trying to get you to do certain things, and showing off their large ships. It's probably a good thing but there's this whole dynamic around trying to show off the game or impress new players. It's a pretty cool experience seeing the interiors of ships, walking around, landing, and flying in & out of atmosphere. It's worth checking out every so often or having the game on your radar. The problem is most of the mission content and gameplay loops are pretty shallow and it doesn't really hold up as a full live service MMO people want it to be 13 years later. You do get to a point we're you're somewhat over it pretty fast. But we just came off of years of the developers all focusing on the single player game and remaining completely tight lipped about it while we would only receive new ships (for monetization purposes) and tiny little updates to Star Citizen. Now that the single player game is wrapping up, devs are moving over to multiplayer game, and we are seeing progress on some of the core tech that has been promised for 8 years people are hoping this is when the game is actually going to become something.

insane? they've made arcade game!! and it supposed to be space sim... yeach sim where ships are slowing down in space... have fun

You can't grasp the scale of the game, it breaks your brain the size of things.

Mmmh how hard can it be. Not the brightest player I see.
